Finding a new marketing position in the restaurant industry
-
Post #1 - July 17th, 2007, 3:08 pmI do hope this post falls within the guidelines of the Professional Forum topics.
Due to ever-popular cutbacks and downsizing, my position as Marketing Manager/Graphic Designer for the midwest area of a popular franchise has been eliminated.
When I started my career 5 years ago I sort of accidentally wound up doing marketing for restaurants, and almost all of my experience has been restaurant/catering/wholessale food product related. I really enjoy the industry, and ideally I'd like to stay connected in some way. I am also considering event planning and catering coordination as a possible career shift.
The pickings out on Monster, craigslist and careerbuilder are fairly slim. I thought someone in LTH land might have a lead or two. I appreciate any info or advice, thank you in advance!“Avoid restaurants with names that are improbable descriptions, such as the Purple Goose, the Blue Kangaroo or the Quilted Orangutan.”

No worries, I was in the process of interviewing with them for a job, though timing just didn't work out as I couldn't move until next week and they wanted someone sooner. It's a very quality company filled with quality people.magpie1140 wrote:Thanks, jp, that's quite close to the type of position I have been looking for.
