I started my blog in 2010 as a hobby: a way to motivate myself to branch out and cook new meals, bake different treats, and improve my photography. When I launched it that October, I never dreamed it’d evolve into my full-time job. I barely knew what a blog was back then—my computer- and tech-savvy brother had to explain the concept of blogging to me!
Because of your support and interest in my recipes, Amy’s Healthy Baking has grown so much over the past few years, so I’m incredibly excited to announce that I’m hiring two new people to join the AHB Team!
I fully believe that the best people for these positions are already among the AHB community. As part of this little family, you’re already familiar with my recipes, and maybe you’ve tried a handful (or a hundred!) of them already. Or maybe you’ve pinned them on Pinterest, shared them on Facebook, or posted pictures of them on Instagram. Whatever you do, I’m truly grateful—and you just might be the perfect person for the job!
So read the descriptions below, and if it sounds like a great fit for you, I’d love for you to apply! And if it’s not, but you know of a certain someone or two who would be a great candidate as well, would you please send them the information? I’d really appreciate it!
