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?
