Figured I'd drop a quick update here – it's been about two months since I started (casually) looking for work in the cannabis industry. I say "casually" because I still have my full-time job, so I’m not in a rush, but I’ve been putting in apps and sliding into DMs where I can.
No solid interviews yet, but I’ve been using the time to build my portfolio and get more serious about documenting what I do know. I’ve been growing for a while now (for personal use, in a legal state), so at least I’m not coming in totally green. Still, it’s clear that this industry’s competitive and a lot of places want retail or cultivation facility experience specifically.
I’m treating this slow period as prep time. Brushing up on compliance stuff, researching companies I’d actually want to work for, even considering budtender gigs just to get my foot in the door.
Anyway – just wanted to share where I’m at in case anyone else is on the same path. I’ll definitely circle back and post an update when I finally land something.
