Do you like sweets? Do you have opinions on that? Are you looking for work? If you answered ‘yes’ to all three questions, you may want to learn more about a position that will pay you cash to taste sweets. And no, that’s not a euphemism for something else, it’s a real dream come true. Here’s what you need to know.
The position
There is not just one job available: Candy Funhouse hire 10 people to taste sweets. Two of these positions are full-time (8-hour shifts work) and the other eight part-time (15 hours per week). They all pay $ 30 / hour.
Although both advertisements indicate that the positions can be done remotely, they also say that the full-time job requires the candy to be done in person – which will presumably be in Mississauga, Ontario, where the business is located. It’s quite confusing, but cross that bridge when you get there, I think?
And this is what the work entails:
Tastings for sweets
- Taste samples objectively
- Consider aspects of taste, texture and quality
- Full-time position will require taste tests personally
- Part-time position will allow baked goods to be sent remotely
Brief product description and rating
- Candidates will follow our internal candy care system
- A brief description of two sentences is required for each product tested
- These descriptions can be included on our website and social media
G / O Media can get a commission
The requirements
According to the ad, preference will be given to applicants interested in candy, pop culture and media. Here are the other qualifications required for the job:
- A high school diploma
- Basic writing skills
- Good communication skills
- Fluent in English
- Passionate about pastries
- To be a US or Canadian citizen
- Have no food allergies
- To be at least 18 years old
No candy-specific experience is required.
