McVities are looking for a biscuit tester and yeah, dream job alert really

Jade Hayden

Look, everybody loves a good biscuit.

They’re crunchy, they’re soft, they’re sugary, they’re sweet, they’re chocolatey, they’re savoury, they’re basically everything you’d ever want from a delicious tea-time snack.

Ideal.

The only thing people love more than biscuits, is eating biscuits.

And… obviously, like. Why wouldn’t you?

If you love biscuits an incredible amount though – so much so that you can’t go a day without experiencing the delicious crunch of a wafer or the sultry snap of a digestive, it’s your lucky day.

Because McVities Ireland are looking for someone to become their professional biscuit tester.

This intensely coveted and widely appreciated job includes responsibilities such as testing biscuits, knowing if they taste good, and also eating a lot of them.

That’s all the info you need, to be honest.


Now, unfortunately for us and anybody who likes to get paid a wage for their time and effort and expertise, this role isn’t isn’t actually paid in money.

It’s paid in biscuits.

Also, McVities are looking for someone to be their biscuit tester to mark National Biscuit Week so, you know, that leaves us with a lot of questions.

How long is the contract?

Is there job security?

Can you expect a full time wage at any point during your time as biscuit tester?

The answers to these questions we may never know… unless we apply to be biscuit tester on McVities’ Facebook page.

Which we will absolutely be doing ASAP.

Just saying.
