1. Are you the type of person who likes jumping out and
scaring your friends? If so, you might want to apply as a professional zombie
at The London Dungeons. They currently employ 50 staff members to do just that.
Bonus: You don't have to worry about what you're going to look like every day
because your work uniform is to look dead.
2. Every chocolate lover would die for this job. It is
their job to test out new ranges of chocolate and organize tastings (дегустация) for sellers to choose new items to stock.
3. This job role is literally one big party, which
requires the professional party-goer to travel around Sydney attending all the
best events, festivals and VIP occasions. There is some work involved though,
as all the fun times are recorded and shared on social media networks for the
world to watch in envy.
4. First Choice employed one lucky graduate for this job,
which involves traveling to sunny destinations to test out the hotel resort
slides (горки) to make sure they cause a big enough splash (брызг) for holiday makers.
5. Imagine
that you check out (выселяться из отеля) top hotels and don’t pay a thing for them. Reviewers
(критик) get to experience luxury accommodations and all they
have to do in return is write up their critiques. What could be more perfect
than this job?
Google employed two lucky people to ride a bike around
France with the Google Maps camera attached to the back, as the car simply
couldn’t fit down some of France’s tiny streets.
2. Does anyone really have this job? Yep, a student from
Birmingham City University landed (добиться) a job at a luxury bed company. They paid her 1000
pounds to sleep on designer beds every day for a month. The goal was to
distinguish which ones offered the best night's sleep. You are paid while you
sleep then spend your days doing whatever you want. Now that's what you'd call
a true "dream" job.
3. The role of the job is to study the charismatic little
birds all day long. However, the role has a much more serious aim - to carry
out research (проводить исследования) to help prevent threats facing the Antarctic penguin
species.
4. Enjoy a challenge? Fancy being placed in a tank (резервуар) full of sharks with the responsibility (ответственность) of having to clean the glass? Not for the faint
hearted (слабонервный). It’s a fun, wild and adventurous job where you will be watched in
fascination by hundreds of people. Hopefully, the sharks won’t get hungry in
the process...
5. Spend all your spare time playing
"Warcraft"? Why not get paid for it? Blizzard Entertainment has a
number of game industry jobs, the most fun one being "tester." So if someone complained that you spend way
too much time gaming you could simply respond "It's my job."
