DREAM job alert! Fancy running a bookshop on a beach in the Maldives?

Olivia Hayes

Can you think of anything more delightful?

Because we sure can’t. There’s nothing we love more than going away and knowing that for the next few days, we’ll be sitting on a beach or by pool, reading a book and sipping on cocktails.

It makes our souls happy, and is something we look forward to time after time.

Now, imagine doing that for a living.

A job has arrived on the horizon which will see the successful applicant running a pop up book shop in the Maldives. As well as dealing with the day to day business of the book shop, you will also be tasked in writing a ‘lively blog’, host writing courses and entertaining kids with a few storytelling sessions.

A spokesperson for the book company told the Guardian: “We want someone on the ground who is creative and inspiring and can maybe get more people to share the pleasure of reading, which is what people enjoy doing on holiday.

“The pay is derisory but the fringe benefits unparalleled. The role will evolve and it is in part up to you to make the most of this unique opportunity. It’s a dream job for many people. If I was 25 again I would do it.”

And we would do it too. If you want to find out more information, visit this website here.
