Winery Jobs? Job musings from Patty's Travels

I was in Yakima Valley over the weekend and talked to several people in the area wineries--quite of few of them Cougs. In talking about WSU, the DTC degree came up and, without exception, they said something like--wow, we so need a person like that!

So as you're job hunting, make sure you take a look at all kinds of possibilities including industries that you might not have thought of before. Almost every industry with a public "face" needs someone like you! Remember too, that Washington state has a huge food industry--fruit, potatoes and much, much more. The groups promoting and selling our food crops might need a person with abilities like yours.

Here's an example of a wine industry job that's suited for a DTC grad. Although you might not have enough background for this job, this is the kind of thing that even smaller wineries are looking for. http://winebusiness.com/services/jobdetail.cfm?listingId=42815

BTW, for those of you who are interested, I am enjoying sabbatical. I'm reading, writing, and researching, but also getting the opportunity to travel here in Washington and other places. I'll be traveling a lot in the next couple months, but will be back to see many of you graduate. That will be awesome. Go cougs!
