“Breakfast Sommelier”

^Me on Linkedin          vs.          ^Me in real life

Title applying for: Breakfast Sommelier
Salary + Benefits requested:
  • Whatever Gordon Ramsey shows on his tax returns, we’re going to need to match that
  • 401K matching; full health and dental (things you learn when you’re an adult: teeth cleanings cost $200 a pop); a private amazon prime locker; an adult babysitter/maid who will keep my life in order, mainly match my socks and get my duvet inside of my duvet cover; immunity against uber ratings lower than 5.0

Applicable Skill Set:

  • I eat 4-6 eggs every morning and to anyone who gets in my way, I calmly tell them “my stomach is filled with eggs” and then they realize I am not a woman to contend with and they quickly concede
  • My food choices abide by the perfect ratio of superficiality – 75% because it looks cool and 25% because I could be the first of my network to post about it
  • Excels at filtering Yolk mid-drip
  • Only does box jumps at the gym to get ready for impromptu aerial food shots
What you your bring to the position:
  • As a true expert of my craft, I would enforce that all breakfast foods consumed under my tutelage be photogenic and contain no less than two whole avocados
  • I understand every last crumb is at risk for being photographed, and even when that’s not the case, the pinnacle of Instagram-able food is an achievement greater than producing an Ivy League bound child
  • For the good of mankind, breakfast buffets would be banned. They are dangerous in exactly the opposite way of a loaded gun. One minute you’re covering a kilo of cholesterol in butter and syrup; next thing you know, it’s 7 hours later, they’re switching to the dinner buffet, you have a plate of lemon piccata chicken in your hand and are in line at the ham carving station
References:
  • My parents, who are rational people and have an avocado toast station in our house, complete with olive oil drizzle and chili flakes
  • The griddle chef at B&H dairy, who calls me Princess and knows not to put onions in my lox omelet
  • My college cross-country coach, who can attest to my tenacity as I turned the most non-contact sport into UFC on foot
