Do you like candy? Do you have opinions about that? Are you looking for a job? If you answered “yes” to all three questions, you may be interested to learn more about a position that will pay you cash to test the taste of candy. And no, that’s not a euphemism for something else. Here’s what you need to know.
The position
There is no single job to consider: Candy Funhouse hires 10 people to taste some candy. Two of these positions are full-time (8-hour shifts), and the other eight are part-time (15 hours per week). Everyone pays 30 USD / hour.
Although both ads indicate that positions can be made remotely, they also say that the full-time position requires candy tasting to be done in person – which is likely to be in Mississauga, Ontario, where the company is headquartered. It’s a little confusing, but cross that bridge when you get to it, I think?
Here’s what the job entails:
Confectionery testing
- Taste the evidence objectively
- Consider aspects of taste, texture and quality
- The full-time position will require personal taste testing
- The part-time position will have confectionery shipped remotely
Short description and evaluation of the product
- Candidates will follow our internal confectionery evaluation system
- A short description of two sentences will be required for each product tested
- These descriptions can be incorporated on our website and on social networks
G / O Media may receive a commission
