Step 1: Select a Career/Job: This page starts with 4 ways for you to identify and select from listings of Baking and Pastry careers/jobs:
A) Fastest Growing Baking and Pastry Careers - 2023 to 2033 (est.)
These listings are based on job growth estimates and helps you to identify the fastest growing and evolving Baking and Pastry careers.

This can also help us to identify which careers (bottom of the listing) may have negative growth - perhaps due to automation or planned obsolescence.
B) Median Annual Salary U.S. Baking and Pastry Careers
These listings are sorted (descending) by median annual salary in the U.S. This may help us to identify our ideal career.

1) Filter - As you enter a word, you will filter (limit) the list of job titles
2) Browse the list (Don't Filter) - You can simply explore the list of job titles. There may be many that you might never have considered to be of interest.
Once you have identified a job title of interest, simply click on it.

Step 2: Find a Job: After you have selected a career/job title above, you will see a form asking for your location. Submit the form and you will see current job listings. You can change the job title, location, or distance from location as desired. Each of the listings will link to a current job opening.
