I've been on the hunt for a bakery job for three years now, and I'm starting to feel really discouraged. I love baking—whether it's bread, cakes, or pastries, I'm willing to try anything. Despite my enthusiasm, I haven't had any luck finding a position. I've even tried related jobs and have gone into local bakeries to ask if they're hiring, but I haven't heard back from anyone. I live in a smaller town, and the nearest big city is over an hour away, which doesn't help my chances. To make matters worse, I don't have formal training, but I've spent a lot of time honing my skills and creating a portfolio to show potential employers. I'm beginning to wonder if I should consider going to a baking school to improve my prospects.
