This is a different post than the norm and about 'what I do' (professionally speaking). I'd love to stay home and be full-time wife & mom but as that is not an option, I do the next best thing....working a cool job.
Ironic that I work in an industry which is centered around food....and truthfully, I'm a horrid cook and a bit dangerous in the kitchen (and I'm okay with that- have accepted and moved along).
I'm a wife, mother, sister, employee, ect and fortunate to have a career which is:
Fun
Challenging
Silly
Frustrating
Goofy
Not-the-norm
Detailed
Creative
Hard....
....amongst other things.
I am a wholesale food-broker.
A 'middle-man/woman' between the food manufactures and the wholesale distributors.
What? What is that?
Yep, get that all the time. Never heard of it? Me neither, until several years ago.
I really like my job- weird, right?
What's not to like about creating a beautiful, yummy-inducing table display of imported cheeses for people to taste-test?
Or when I'm really lucky, getting to dress-up in funny costumes and promote food during business meetings!
and creating eye-appealing plate displays at food shows is also a plus (thought not my area of expertise).
But hosting hilarious contests for sales associates is probably my favorite....like below:
These guys were racing mini-bikes around an outdoor pool for cash prizes and other freebies.
Seriously, what's not to love about that?? Note: I'm on the sidelines in black cheering and clapping loudly. ha!
I get to eat free food and promote the latest new-restaurant-food-trends while talking with restaurant owners, chefs and managers. I get to travel on a flexible schedule.
It's a job, but a cool one.
and now you know (and you also know why I've gained 20 pounds in 5 years).
The End.
