Top Tips
What Recruiters Look For
Here are the top 5 things I look for in graduates’ attitudes and experience
Focus & Specialism
Take a generalist degree or one with limited food content may mean that you enter the industry without specific or in depth knowledge of food science
Experience Is Everything

Love Food
