How to apply for 340 Job Openings at the World Food Programme with Effective Steps?

Upon concluding my tenure (2023-2024) as a "Hostel Mess Committee Member" at Food Services Department Forman Christian College (A Chartered University), I reflect on the invaluable experience gained. #KeyResponsibilities 1.#FoodQualityandService a.

Foster inclusivity and diversity. #SkillsLearnt a. Leadership and teamwork b. Communication and interpersonal skills c. Problem-solving and conflict resolution d. Time management and organization I anticipate to apply these skills in future endeavors.

As I start grading the first written assignments from my students in which they had to discuss the inherent risks in food ingredients I found myself feeling extremely grateful for all the experiences and knowledge I’ve been able to cram in my 15 years working in the food industry.  Teaching allows me to use this experience to mentor and mold the future food scientists, quality managers, R&D managers etc.  I’d encourage anyone who has the opportunity (and the time!) to teach to give it a shot.   You’ll likely find yourself falling back in love with what you do, and I can guarantee it will make you a more well-rounded professional. I am a believer that we need more industry experts in academia. Related side note:  Every semester students in the program ask me “how did you get to where you are?” My answer always starts with “I graduated with an M.S. in Food Science and finding a job without experience was tough, so I took a temp to hire position at a cold, wet, and often stinky fish processing plant where I did the pre-op shift at 4am and got paid less than $20/hour. But… within less than 3 years I was a manager overseeing quality/food safety/regulatory compliance in 3 locations.” You have to start somewhere, and it won’t always be the glamorous 6-figure job they tell you about in school.  Once you have your foot in the door it’s all about grit, fearlessness, communication skills and effectively applying what you learned when you were an academic.  #academiameetsindustry #chapmanuniversity

"Respected food technologists, I offer my sincerest apologies if my words have caused any offense. Many of you have achieved esteemed positions in the food industry, and I implore you to reciprocate by helping others. Unfortunately, some students and aspiring food technologists are met with rejection when seeking opportunities. They're often told that having influential connections or relatives is a prerequisite for hiring. I urge you, esteemed food technologists, please don't turn away talented individuals. Everyone possesses unique skills and deserves a chance to showcase their knowledge. By giving them an opportunity, you may uncover innovative talent that elevates both your organization and the industry. The food industry desperately needs skilled food technologists. I speak from experience, having faced numerous challenges, struggles, and familial pressures as a food technologist myself. I humbly request that you demonstrate empathy and support emerging professionals. Your guidance can transform their career trajectories

When watching this video, my thoughts immediately turned to the critical issue of Food Safety being conducted by unqualified individuals. The recent increase in Food Safety Incidents in Gauteng has resulted in 16 people dying since February and its mostly children. It is disheartening to see that in the background, a good section of the Food Industry is quite content with having Food Safety and Quality managed by non-professionals. Not so much in larger Co-operations, but quite prevelant in owner managed SMME's. Food Safety professionals are seen as paper pushers who are at work to "clock the hours and get the money" 😐 The money which is actually not even market related🏃 So why this attitude? Is this driven by economic factors? If so, has a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis been conducted to assess the true economic impact? What is the value of a human life? Would it be cost effective if it was your child being burie? Perhaps it is time to reconsider the approach and appeal to Managing Directors. Hire graduates Hire graduates Hire graduates Hire graduates Hire graduates Hire graduates Hire professionals Hire professionals We have esteemed Universities that are creating a pool of highly competent Food Safety Professionals ready to safeguard our well-being.
