Do you like sweets? Do you have any opinions? Are you looking for a job? If you answered “yes” to all three questions, you may want to learn more about a position that can earn you cash for tasting candy. And no, this isn’t one of those “dream job” competitions – it’s an actual role at a candy company. Here’s what you need to know.
The position
There is not just one job to be given: Candy funhouse hires 10 people to try candy. Two of these positions are full-time positions (8-hour shifts) and the other eight part-time positions (15 hours per week). They all pay $ 30 an hour.
Although both ads indicate that the positions can be filled remotely, it also states that for the full-time position, candy tasting must be done in person – presumably in Mississauga, Ontario, where the company is based. This is a bit confusing, but when you get to it, will you cross that bridge I think?
And here’s what the jobs involve:
