Today’s my lucky day. There is a “quality control technician” job opening at Cadbury. But does “organoleptic testing” mean “eating candy”? Because I could do that. Here’s the description:
Provide laboratory technical support for all product preparation and production areas, with respect to the physical, chemical, and organoleptic testing of raw, packaging, and finished product. Will assure reliable, timely, and effective audits of pertinent production processes, and support Best Practice On Line Quality through in process audits, technical guidance, and shop floor hands on training. Audit to assure materials and finished products conform to specification, and/or meet consumer expectation. Lead and conduct in- process audits to insure that all managers and employees are in conformance to the company quality management system and relevant work standards to ensure that all activities meet internal, customer, and regulatory procedures and standards.
I might as well get paid for it.
UPDATED TO ADD: Here’s the dress I mention in the Eye4Style interview.
Skye says
Organoleptic – sounds like it could involve eating, doesn’t it. If you tasted chocolate for a living would you grow to hate it over time?
pistols at dawn says
If the real job description is to eat the hell out of some chocolate, I will challenge you for that gig.
Sharon Rose says
Hi there-thats a fabulous interview-she did you proud!! Also, I think you would get bored with the chocolate job-after eating it and testing it, I suppose theres not too much else to do-you’re too creative and skillful for this-eat choccies as a hobby, its lots more fun!! have a great weekend!
coco says
My friends dad works at Cadbury, they get free chocolate!
Mer says
mmmm I love chocolate TOO MUCHHH
XXX
Songy says
the ring is beautiful..ahhh.
that sounds like a fun job but must agree with you I don’t know how good it will be for our teeth and our waistline.
Ollie + Junebug says
Love it! I’d want to test the caramel ones only though. But then, I fear I would grow sick of them and not enjoy them as much anymore. Best stick to marketing and crafting, then…
sid says
I love Cadbury’s. I could definitely see myself tasting the quality of the chocolate.
Renaissance Woman says
If you are giving up the tasting job then I would love to take the job over!
Alya says
Getting paid to eat chocolate? I could do that!
KD says
Yummy!!! Do you like Hershey’s? I think Cadbury’s is better in general, but nobody beats Hershey’s for a quick stress-relieving scoff after school. I say this because you need to eat Cadbury’s slowly, but you can easily gobble down a Hershey’s in a second. Well, I can at any rate.
stef m says
if i worked in the candy industry, i would need to go up a few sizes and i couldn’t bear to part with my jeans collection
Danielle says
“and organoleptic testing of raw, packaging, and finished product.”
I don’t know, I’m not so sure I’d want to taste test the wrapper…
La Belette Rouge says
Wendy, we could do job sharing and split the organoleptic tasks. Huh?
Diabolina 3.1 says
O MY GOD THAT RING! and omygod really one a DAY????
THE HOUSE OF STYLE says

Cadbury’s is my favorite choc bar ever. Especially the one with almonds….??? Hmmmm…!!!!
Always In Style says
I am so with you on the Cadbury job.
Congratulations on the Must Read interview…I swear as soon as I can afford to I will own a WB original too!
Jill says
Organoleptic, it sounds dangerous, but they must need someone to test their bars. Whoever that is truly a lucky human being.
selinaoolala says
next time you come to the uk you should come to the town where i live where the factory is aka cadbury world! their tour is super fabulous
WendyB says
Selina, I will! You’ll have to join me on the tour.
House of Style, check out my website at http://www.wendybrandes.com. Then email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com and tell me you want the blogger discount. Of course, if you’re in LA, you can go see everything in person at a store called Roseark.
Miss Janey says
Fab interview… MIss J enjoys hearing how WendyB’s career evolved. Miss Wendy’s Diana ring looks so perfect on her graceful fingers.
Perhaps Miss Wendy would like to job-share the Cadbury position with Miss Janey?
second city penny pincher says
love love love the interview dress you mentioned!!!
* Fashion Dreamer * says
Oooooh that is my dream job. Well, if all fails in fashion, a girl’s gonna need something to cheer her up!
enc says
You’re a hot property today! That was a great interview.
I hope you don’t land the Cadbury’s job, because I already applied for it.
Practically Perfect In Every Way says
the job description is muy boring-o! who knew words could make that job SOOO lame?!
I commented on Sharon Rose’s blog to see if we should start a Diana fan club….
cybill says
People that work at such places always say that after a while you don’t care for chocolate tasting anymore, I say they are all DAMNED LIARS.
Lil' Puch says
Sounds like a great job!!!
I love their chocolate!!

Suze says
*sigh* – that’s my dream job. I am SO qualified for it.
Catherine Shu says
The happiest day of my adolescence was the day I visited the Cadbury factory near Oxford during my summer abroad in high school. Unfortunately, I don’t remember anything about it because right after the tour, I bought three packs of Cadbury easter eggs and proceeded to eat myself into a coma. It was worth it, though!
Make Do and Mend says
Don’t give up the day job our fingers need your rings not chocolate cadbury fingers!
Tizzalicious says
This made me so hungry!
Jen (MahaloFashion) says
Mmm I want chocolate now! My boyfriends uncle worked for them for 15 years, so he got all the chocolate he wanted!
Cheryl Lynn says
A beautiful ring, indeed. I’m going to be on the look-out for the candy eating job, although I don’t think it’s conducive to my attempt at having less of me to carry around 🙂
Love your blog, particularly your conversation with your sister, LOL!
Have a great week.
