Do you like candies? Do you have any thoughts on that? Are you looking for a job? If you answered “yes” to all three questions, you may be interested in learning more about a position that will pay you cash to taste sweets. And no, this is not one of those “dream job” contests – it is a real role in a candy company. Here’s what you need to know.
The position
There is not only one job to win: Candy Funhouse is hiring 10 people to taste some sweets. Two of these positions are full-time (working 8-hour shifts) and the other eight are part-time (15 hours a week). They all pay $ 30 / hour.
While both announcements indicate that jobs can be done remotely, they also say that the full-time job requires that the candy tasting be done in person – which is likely to be in Mississauga, Ontario, where the company is based. This is kind of confusing, but cross the bridge when you get there, I think?
And here’s what the jobs involve:
Candy Flavor Test
- Sample samples objectively
- Consider aspects of taste, texture and quality
- The full-time position will require taste testing in person
- The part-time position will have confectionery products shipped remotely
Brief description and classification of the product
- Applicants will follow our internal confectionery rating system
- A brief two-sentence description will be required for each product tested
- These descriptions can be incorporated on our website and social media
G / O Media can receive a commission
The requirements
According to the announcement, preference will be given to candidates who are interested in sweets, pop culture and the media. Here are the other qualifications needed for the job:
- A high school diploma
- Basic writing skills
- Good communication skills
- Fluent in English
- Passionate about confectionery
- Be an American or Canadian citizen
- Having no food allergy
- Be at least 18 years old
No specific experience with sweets is necessary.
