Mackie’s, an Aberdeenshire chocolate firm, which also makes crisps and ice cream, is advertising for the year-long position ahead of the factory’s opening next year.
The only qualifications for the job — for which payment will be made in monthly supplies of chocolate — are taste buds, with the successful applicant having a “steady supply of chocolate to taste, test, lick and sook on the couch at home,” according to company chiefs.
Besides the free chocolate, the firm is also offering “a trip to our family farm for a chocolate immersion session with the resident experts.”
Mackies is also keen on creating a new flavour – dreamt up by the newly-appointed chief chocolate taster — to celebrate the opening of the new 6,00,000 pounds factory. The closing date for the job is December 3, with Mackie’s confirming people of all ages can apply and have to describe their dream chocolate bar flavour and why they are the best candidates.
