If you've ever dreamt of getting paid to indulge in candy, now is your chance.
Candy Funhouse, a Canadian candy company, is hiring a 'Candy Director' to take on the role of taste-testing new products.
The role of this Chief Candy Officer (CCO) involves checking a minimum of 3,500 products per month, as shared in the job description, and stamping products approved by the CCO with a 'CCO Approved Seal.'
The job posting details can be found on the Candy Funhouse company website and the LinkedIn job portal.
This position offers an annual salary of 100,000 CAD (Canadian dollars), equivalent to 78,000 USD, and can be done remotely or at the company's Toronto office for Canadian citizens, or at the Newark office in New Jersey for U.S. citizens.
To apply, you only need to be 5 years old or older, and no corresponding work experience is required. The final registration deadline is August 31.
'All you need is a passion for candy, pop culture, and a sweet tooth!', the job description states.
This isn't the first quirky 'director' hiring by a company. Favor, a Texas-based delivery company, previously hired a 'taco director' this year, paying them 10,000 USD for each move to taste test tacos in 9 different areas.
Some companies hire people to sit in one place and watch TV. Last year, Platin Casino, an online casino company, hired someone just to sit and watch every episode of 'The Simpsons' (over 700 episodes) and record significant events in the show to predict real-life occurrences.
