The NYWCA Networking Committee presents an inspiring and practical program by renowned author, teacher and culinary expert Irena Chalmers on careers in the food industry, and how to land the job you want! Join us for an enlightening presentation accompanied by an appetizing sampling of Mediterranean dishes at ilili Restaurant, one of New York’s hottest newcomers.

The food industry has grown exponentially even amidst economic challenges, with interest in cooking-in, dining-out, and other culinary pursuits elevating the food industry to the nation’s largest private-sector employer (second only to the federal government!). And while we already work in different areas of the food industry, how many of us really know all the opportunities that are out there, or wonder how we can apply our skills to reinvigorate our careers or find our “dream job”?

Irena Chalmers will share her experience and ideas along with profiles of fabulous food jobs and life-changing stories from her newly released book: FOOD JOBS: 150 Great Jobs for Culinary Students, Career Changers and Food Lovers (Beaufort Books, September, 2008, www.foodjobsbook.com ). Books will be available at a discount.

Chalmers will open our minds to think beyond the obvious, and then open the floor for discussion. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear from a respected culinary expert.
