World's Greatest Job, Up for Grabs
LONDON (Reuters) - Calling all chocoholics. One of
Britain's most exclusive grocery stores needs a new chocolate
taster -- and will pay 35,000 pounds ($54,400) a year for the
successful candidate.
Fortnum & Mason in London's Piccadilly -- one of the
capital's most prestigious addresses -- is looking for a
chocolate buyer to travel the world, taste as much chocolate as
possible and select only the best for its discerning customers.
Friday's Daily Telegraph newspaper said the Fortnum's
personnel director Cathy O'Neill has already been bombarded
with applications after she advertised the post as the "best
job in the world."
But not all of those interested have the right
qualifications.
"We only advertised it Sunday," O'Neill told the Telegraph.
"But already we have we have had loads of people writing in
saying they have absolutely no experience, or they work in the
metal industry or something, but they love chocolate."
