The best job in the world ... probably

A. Back in 2012, Andrew Johnson planned to apply to a film school after graduation, rather than look for a job. But then his dad noticed an advertisement for a job with toy manufacturer Lego. Andrew, who was already a Lego fan, sent in an application. It included a video of himself making models. The company loved it and invited him to participate in an unusual interview. He had to compete against seven other finalists in a model-building test. Andrew won. As a result, he was employed at Legoland Discovery Centre in lllinois as a Master Model Builder. “Lego was just a hobby, but now I can do what l love and get paid for it,” said Andrew happily in an interview.

B. Some film providers like Netflix employ people to watch new films and TV series, then ask them to make a note of what type of film it is (horror, rom-com, etc.), what age group and type of person might like it. The film provider can then recommend it to their members. Joe Mason finished his degree in film studies about two years ago and didn't know what to do next. Then he read an article about film taggers. The job was so fantastic, and he wrote to Netflix. At first, they weren't interested, but when Joe told them he speaks fluent French, they gave him a job. He watches French films and TV programmes. “lt's a great job because I can have flexible working hours," said he. The only problem with the job is that Joe can't choose what he wants to watch.

The Best Job In The World

What is a good job? Is it a job with a good salary? Not always. For some people, their salary is good, but their job is boring. And for other people, their salary isn’t good, but the job is easy. And some people are happy because their jobs are interesting. Let’s meet some people with great jobs.

Maritza Morales Casanova is Mexican and she’s from Merida. She’s a teacher, but there are no tables or chairs in her classroom because it’s a park. She says, “Empower children with information … and they will change the world.”

Jeff Kerby is a National Geographic photographer. Animals are difficult to photograph, so the job isn’t easy. Sometimes, the job is very difficult, but when you have a bad day, you look at the beautiful views and, Jeff says, “life isn’t so bad; in fact, it’s really interesting.”

Ross Donihue and Marty Schnure are mapmakers. For their job, they travel and they make digital maps of different parts of the world. One of their favorite places is Patagonia, in Argentina. Ross says, “I love Patagonia because no two days are the same. Every day is different.”

empower (v): give control to

digital (adj): electronic

Dream job for chocolate lovers

Are you out of work? Do you love chocolate? 

Then you might be interested in an advertisement that appeared last week in cinemas all over the country. (1)_________

The successful candidate will have to travel abroad regularly to look for the best ingredients for the company's products. (2)______The best part of the job will be testing the new products, which will be done, of course, by the Taste Assistant.

No formal qualifications are needed for the job, but there is one rather special requirement. (3)_______ The company is looking for someone with 'a good nose'. They have no preference for men or women for the job, and age is not important. According to experts, however, women are usually more sensitive to taste than men. They also say that we lose our sense of taste as we get older. For this reason, the successful applicant is likely to be young and female. 

The first stage in the selection process will be an interview. 

(4)________Here, they must identify the flavours of chocolate bars that the company has prepared specially. They won't be chocolate that they have to taste. The final stage will be a live ‘Taste Challenge’in which the five best candidates will take part. The prize for the winner will be the Taste Assistant job.

If you are interested in the post, you need to send in a CV with a cover letter. (5)______ The company will hold interviews in the first week of January, and the successful candidate will start their new job early next year.
