THE END IS NOTHING... the road is everything.
Or rather, there is no singular end. Once you get on the road, what is currently your end target will soon become just a stop along the way. This is a lesson we first learned after graduating from university and realizing that all the hard work we had put into our studies did not entitle us to a happy ending in the form of a lucrative, fulfilling job (with benefits! Ah, to be young again!). We learn it over and over again as small business owners, when each new project or idea turns into not only something different than we had anticipated, but becomes the inspiration or motivation for another new idea or project.
It's easy to think that we'll start enjoying things 'as soon as' we reach the fill-in-the-blank end point. But the truth is that how we spend our days is how we spend our lives. Our goal is to help you enjoy the ride. So before you go wishing away the days until you reach 'the end', remember to live in the moment a little, and appreciate that wherever you are in the process is part of your journey.
Your travel companions,
Taylor & Dorothy
Co-Founders, Good Food Jobs

We've unveiled our latest redesign: the new individual job view page is here! We hope your eyes will enjoy the increased legibility from the added contrast between text and background color. We also reformatted the page to make better use of the space, and included a more user-friendly navigation bar at the top where you can easily return to your search results, follow a job, or share it with friends. As always, design is an evolution. Let us know what you think, and if you see any glitches.
our job search engine is a work in progress. do you have a recommendation? constructive criticism? or have you noticed a glitch? let us know. we're improving every day.
