The Leading Career Destination For Women In F&B
Amy Black
"Like many, I was faced with the challenge of navigating new employment this year, during one of the most uncertain, scary times of my life. The FIF Network made me to feel that I have hundreds of women at my fingertips in all areas of the Food Industry as my ally. I am so thankful for all of the resources that the community provided to help me land my next job!"
Tiffany Putland
“The Job Transition Master Mind course offered through Females in Food helped me approach my career search in an entirely different way. I changed my mindset to what I want to do not what I can do. Additionally, we learned that it’s ok to point out the unique talents we bring to a team instead of trying to fit ourselves into a specific box.”

FIF is making a real difference in so many lives, including mine, because of the consistent webinars and events that keep everyone close and inspired."
