Hi
Time for a career change? - Here are a few weird and wonderful options
Ever wondered how your bananas are ripened? Turns out this doesn’t always happen on the tree but, should you be so interested, it could be a whole new career path.
Latest research from job board CV-Library has uncovered some weird and wonderful job roles, after asking 700 recruiters to share the most bizarre roles they have recruited for in the last year.
Trainee banana ripener was just one such job. With a salary of £20k/year the successful recruit would be working in a Kent ‘ripening room’ to ensure the fruit was of appropriate quality for customers.
Other roles included:
• Warrington-based outgoing and self motivated cricket mascot to dress as Lizzie the Lizard
for £7 an hour. Fly catching skills not necessary.
• Watford-based joyous individual to roam grottos near and far as a strolling elf, inviting children to see Santa and generally spreading Christmas cheer: £6.50 an hour.
• Responsible and dedicated empty office sitter in London, £8 an hour with tea and coffee provided.
• Skilled and passionate trumpeter with own instrument and ability to sight-read and play solo on demand. Based in Preston, £10 an hour.
• Welwyn Garden City-based experienced erection specialist, responsible for erecting fences at £14k a year.
• Flexible Farnham-based roadkill cleaner with a positive attitude, and able to work in all
weather conditions: £7 each animal.
• Bristol-based enthusiastic sandwich artist, able to create unique sandwiches to customer demand. £6.50-7 an hour. No experience necessary.
• Anaheim, California-based passionate and dedicated Disney site manager to run Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park, £75k a year. Must be able to create magical experiences.
• York-based bull head catcher to support slaughtermen at £230 per week. Must be physically
fit to assist with moving heavy loads and have a strong stomach. Experience preferable.
Some years ago I was working for a recruitment agency called Blue Arrow, in Waltham Cross and a client had contacted us asking for a temp to dress up as ‘friendly’
monster to give out badges to promote a new toy in a local Argos store over the Christmas period.
The rate of pay was
£6.00. So we persuaded a temp to do this as all he would have to do was stand in the corner of the store and give out badges, easy money we told him.
How wrong we were!
When the client drop off this costume, the head with its horns could
just about fit through the door and weighed a ton with a face that resembled a bulldog chewing a wasp.
To cut a long story short
the temp dutifully went along to the store stood in the corner and waited for kids to come over, and he waited and waited and waited but no one approach him.
It then dawned on him that the kids thought he was just a large model of the toy. So he decided to approach these young children. Well pandemonium broke loose as these young children were scared out of their wits and ran off screaming to their parents.
To make matters worse, this temp decided to screw off the huge monster’s head he was wearing well that was it. It wouldn’t surprise me if some of those kids are still traumatised to this day.
If you’re stuck in a dead end job, unappreciated, undervalued and unwanted (like the temp in the monster’s outfit); then it may be high time you break free from your mundane 9 to 5 existence by starting your very own recruitment agency.
Being your own boss would give you the freedom to follow your dream, do what you really love and do things your way.
Imaging, no more 9-5 in someone else’s offices, no more long commutes, no more jumping through other people’s hoops. Starting your own business will change your life. You can set the goals, work the hours you want to work and follow your
dream.
