Good day Nairalanders, especially the Job landers. (Yeah! You're several steps closer to securing your dream job in the commercial food industry if you are able to follow the recommendations I'll be sharing on this thread).

I graduated from school in 2008 and had to enrol for my Masters degree in 2012 when a job wasn't forthcoming, so I know what it means first hand to be in desperate need of a befitting employment.

Anyway to the crux of the matter......

I created this thread for those who studied certain courses in school including those who wish work in a food handling environment or those who wish to work in the more sophisticated food industry, supermarkets (as a supervisor of food handling operations, etc).

I'll be sharing these tips in different posts.

(I am an extremely busy professional, so I may not be available all the time online. However one thing I can assure you is that I will attend to every one's question/enquiry

Enough of preamble......... Let's delve into the crux of the matter.......

So, if you wish to work in Technical Food/Beverage processing environments like............ Possibly as a graduate of Food science, Food technology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Microbiology, Agricultural Science, Nutrition or other related courses. Or peradventure you don't have a background in these courses but you need technical skillset that will make interviewers prioritize you over the seemingly "qualified"....... Then you need to be aware of some proven tips I'll be sharing in this thread.

If you are able to update your CV with the knowledge you gain from these recommendations I'll be sharing here, then you are several steps ahead of your mates, and that's not an exaggeration.

Take this from someone with over a decade years of hands-on experience in the Food Industry in and out of Nigeria.

Are you even aware that the Food Industry is the silent money making machine only few people have successfully tapped into its potential?

Almost every one is now hyping Tech and IT, while being ignorant of the amazing global opportunities in the Food Industry due to emerging technologies that if you can master, will make your interviewers be in awe of you...... And that's not an exaggeration

Before I proceed further, let me introduce this ice breaker......Lol

I need to send some emails..

Tip1

Do you know that there are immense opportunities hidden in the Food Industry (directly and indirectly). So apart from working as a Quality Control staff in a food/beverage processing company, you can upgrade to:

1. Being a Quality Assurance Specialist (when you upgrade your skills, of course);

2. Being a Food Safety Management Systems Auditor......Yes you read right. There are professional food-related auditors whose services are in high demand in the Food Industry all over the world. The science of conducting Audits is not limited to the accounting profession only.

This reminds me of an experience I'll be back to share......
