Cadbury Is Hiring Professional Chocolate Tasters For £10 Per Hour

Cadbury is hiring to taste chocolate for £10.75 an hour and we couldn't think of a single profession we'd be better suited to.

The business behind the confectionary company are looking for four professional taste-testers to try out new products before they hit the shelves in 150 companies worldwide.

Mondelez International, the company that owns Cadbury, Oreo, Milka and Green & Blacks, is advertising the job that could arguably be called the role of a lifetime.

Chocolate lovers far and wide can apply for the positions which would allow them to try some of the world's best chocolate treats and get paid for their troubles. Incredible stuff.
