加拿大的一家糖果公司公开招募全球独一无二的“首席糖果官”,你只要年满5周岁、热爱糖果并对糖果有着独特的见解,就有机会获得这份梦幻工作。

A Canadian candy company is offering a very sweet job.The candy company, an online retailer from chocolate bars to gums and licorice, is hiring for a$78,000 a year,work-from-home employee as its Chief Candy Officer.Duties include:leading candy board meetings, being the head taste tester...and all things fun.

Several thousand candidates have already applied for the position, which was posted online, said Chief Executive Officer Jamal Hejazi.He noted that he's been surprised by the number of“golden ticket”themed applications and the videos of entire families offering to share the tasting duties and salary.

But Hejazi also sees the attraction.“Imagine your best memories around candy, and having that every day at work,”he said.The candy company,based outside of Toronto,is headed by four siblings (兄弟姐妹) in their 20s and 30s who grew up in the area and whose parents owned donut shops and a local restaurant.“My brother Mo,the head of the company,founded it in 2018 and my mother was employee No.2,”said Hejazi, adding that he and a younger sister and brother later joined the firm.

The company said the Chief Candy Officer position is open to applicants as young as five years old—although parental permission would likely be required.Many parents have filmed their child filling out the application and posted it online.

Hejazi also noted that reports on social media claiming that the Chief Candy Officer will be required to eat 3,500 pieces of candy per month are incorrect.“That would be 117 a day,”Hejazi said.
