Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits
No experience is needed for entry-level confectionery industry jobs, but those with prior work experience will increase their chances of landing a job, getting promoted, and possibly earning higher pay.
Confectionery workers should have good manual dexterity. Like workers in many food industries, they may have to pass medical examinations to show that they are free from communicable diseases before they can begin work at a plant. Other important traits include good communication, interpersonal, organizational, and time-management skills.
