Career in Nutrition?!

Jensenstarr

Hello MFP friends!

So I will be graduating from college soon and I am looking at all types of sales jobs...
I have a really good chance at getting hired with Pepsico-Fritolay as a part of their sales/maintaining customer relations program...
but heres the problem... I don't want to promote products I don't believe in such as Pepsi and chips!! I love nutrition... I always have. My dream job would be to work for KASHI or a similar business... but they don't have any openings currently.

My question for y'all is... what would be a great nutritional company to work for and does anyone have any connections?! I am just so passionate about it... that I might as well ask around!

Thank you so much for your help!

Also feel free to add me... i love new friends!

I don't know what chains of health food stores you have there, but we have Whole Foods, Zupans, New Seasons and Trader Joes. Working for the marketing/sales in one of those would probably be fulfilling and pay decent. Also maybe working for Nike or Adidas doing sales with exercise equipment and clothing.

Take the job you don't believe in - get the experience and then go work for a company you believe in!

Does Pepsi/Frito-Lay have a 'healthy division'? If so, maybe you could use this as an 'in' to get into that division? Or, you could use this job as a way to meet other people in other companies and make a move once something opens up?
