(paraphrase)…I‘m from the Philippines.  I want to go to Canada or the United States.  I have been a coffee barista for 5 years here in the Philippines.

His resume is quite interesting.  He has been a barista (coffee professional is probably more accurate.  He has some background in roasting as well.) for a few years, and has been in the service industry for his entire career.  He seems to enjoy serving and interacting with people.

Any roaster and/or retailer looking to take on some fresh talent should probably take a look at his resume and contact him.  His phone number is in his resume.

On that note, I seem to have a long list of old job listings from retailers.  If you have ever asked us to post a job opening for you, PLEASE check the Jobs listing to see if yours is still up.  From now on, they will be valid for only 30 days unless otherwise specified.

Some have been up for a year!  That’s just too long, folks.  I understand the need to funnel in some interest, and I like to do what I can to help the TX coffee industry, but this isn’t Craigslist.

But.. if you ARE looking for employees or if you are looking for work, anyone is welcome to use TX-Coffee.com as a resource to get the news out.  TX-Coffee.com exists for the community, and as such, anyone involved should feel free to ask for something to be posted if they think it will be of benefit.

In addition, feel free to post on your own in the tx-coffee.com forums.

Visit Barista Exchange

Matt Miletto of Bellissimo Coffee InfoGroup, and the American Barista and Coffee School (ABC’s) has put together a brilliant community site for the exchange of ideas, education, and, get this, baristas!

This gives the individual barista  a way to travel the world in order to experience new concepts in great coffee by working as an “exchange barista” (like an exchange student) at another cafe.  Travel is not required to be a member, and traveling internationally is certainly up to you.

I’m a member!

View my page on Barista Exchange

And if you are a barista, shop-owner, or a roaster or consultant(like me!), you can join in on the fun.  Think of it as a Myspace… just for the coffee industry.  Brilliant!

Our very own Aaron Blanco(The Brown Coffee Co. has also joined, and I believe Mike McKim of Cuvee Coffee Roasters has joined as well.

If you work in the coffee business, YOU NEED TO JOIN THIS SITE!
