Can you imagine living for a year with your partner in one of the British Virgin Islands in charge of their care and promoting tourism in such a unique luxury enclave? Can you imagine charging no less than 160,000 pounds (about 184,000 euros) for this and also having them pay for your flights, medical insurance, accommodation and meals? Well, it is a real job offer, which the owner of the island has announced through the Fairfax & Kensington recruitment agency based in London, and which has surely awakened the desire of almost everyone.
In Spain, positions that provoke envy and are well paid are also published. Although perhaps not as much as that of the Virgin Islands. Paloma Pozanco, a 25-year-old from Cádiz, who has held one of them, believes so: “Being paid to eat one ice cream after another and on top of that contributing to Social Security is incredible. “It is a dream job,” says this young woman who studied law, is preparing for competitive exams and has never had a contract until now. “I would repeat the experience a million times,” she says.
Last October she presented herself to the Infojobs advertisement that had had the most candidates until then: 49,584 people registered. They all aspired to become a tester of Nestlé’s Maxibon ice cream, and to be the first person outside the Swiss multinational to taste the ice cream that it will launch in 2024. The chosen one was her. Two days of work, one from home and the other in gardens far from her city, with her opinions and reactions recorded for posterity, for which she received 1,000 euros.
Currently, the job portal has the fourth active offer of this type launched, which has surpassed the previous one with 52,292 applications until last Wednesday. Look for a concert dressing room for the Wizink Center, which for three days attends the recitals of Spanish artists such as Aitana and Melendi to improve the fan’s experience, being able to meet the singers, go to sound checks, enter the dressing rooms. .. and win 1,000 euros. Another dream. As before, there were the positions of Port Aventura roller coaster tester (10,150 applicants) and Grefusa snack taster (41,105). Infojobs will publish its fifth next month cool job, as it has called the initiative: mattress tester. An offer similar to the one launched by the Emma company a few months ago and for which it offered a three-month contract with a salary of 2,000 euros per month.
“The cool jobs They are experiences that are associated with fun, a hobby, and all those selected have to evaluate their experience,” explains Mónica Pérez, spokesperson for Infojobs, which uses these campaigns carried out jointly with companies so that both parties achieve notoriety and enhance their employer brand. “We have two types of benefits with this action, connecting with the segment of the public we are targeting and also, from an employment point of view, we see that many people would love to work with us,” says Clara Vilar, brand manager. by Maxibon.
Collaborations
The companies with which Infojobs partners are responsible for paying for the experience and recordings of the selected person, while the employment portal is responsible for the offer, selection, the worker’s salary, accommodation and maintenance. As these are collaborations that are being very successful, Pérez predicts many more similar offers, jobs that we have all dreamed of at some point in our lives, in the words of Nilton Navarro, creator of the cool jobs and brand manager at Infojobs, who puts Port Aventura as an example of its impact: “When we published the roller coaster tester offer, the registrations of applicants for their job offers multiplied by six.”
For Sylvana Zamorano, from the Taalentify portal, this type of work responds to marketing campaigns disguised as job offers, which seek to attract the public’s attention and promote a brand. And they succeed, she says. “Therefore, it is a very creative and striking way to publicize new products, services, companies or even the offer itself and thus attract a greater number of users, greater dissemination and impact in the audiovisual media and social networks.”
At Adecco, dream jobs are also advertised, which, as Pablo Gómez says, are not recurring or massive positions but rather temporary and that serve to “make the public get to know you, talk about you and see you as an attractive company to work for.” To make noise, in short. They are offers that generate a massive response in a very short time. The star program of this company is CEO for a month. For nine years, Adecco has been selecting a young man who has completed his studies or is about to do so and is fluent in English to act as CEO, shadowing the real leader of the firm in Spain for a month. For this reason he receives a managerial salary of thousands of euros. This year, more than 4,000 applications have been submitted for the position.
Many more than a thousand candidates aspired to become tennis lover manager at the Mutua Madrid Tennis Open, where the human resources firm is looking for a sports fan to broadcast the experience of the competition from within on their social networks. During the week that the event lasts, he goes to the matches, the press conferences, interviews the tennis players, etc. and they pay him for it, of course. Another of the jobs that Adecco offers is that of video viewer. trailers of cinema, very attractive for film buffs, who can spend between two and four hours a day watching films – and their advertisements – and commenting on them. It is usually a weekend job, according to Gómez.
In Infojobs, together with the cool jobs Other positions are offered that can also be the envy of young and old. Among the dreamed professions, that of a video game tester stands out, an offer that the gamer Miguel Ángel Román has assets and for which he pays 1,000 euros. He is also a tester of dealership cars, in this case without salary description, of car seats or luxury items. The employment portal also manages the professional profiles demanded by Ibai Llanos or the King League designed by Gerard Piqué.
The offers that arrive for Christmas
With Christmas come other moments dreamed of by many. And a multitude of jobs, generally more mundane and less aspirational than those reported so far. This year, it is expected that during the campaign that runs from Black Friday in November to the sales in January, 347,000 contracts will be made, 3.5% below the past, according to Randstad estimates. The hospitality industry will be the only sector that increases its hiring, unlike commerce and logistics.
