The Swedish girl Asa Dejus, a law student, was recently recruited for a new job. And if it's not the best job in the world, it is certainly the most relaxing. In fact, she was hired as a "beach tester": she will travel for several weeks in various resorts around the world, and tell his story in a blog, owned by a Swedish weekly fashion magazine.
The girl said she didn't expect to be taken. Indeed she even had some doubts that the ad was real, especially because it was published in the week of April 1, and therefore could also be a joke. The announcement, by far one of the most absurd ever seen, indicated as a work activity:
“Included in the job assignment is going on outings, lying on beach chairs, drinking wine in local taverns and other ordinary assignments found in a commercial beach and tourist environment. In certain areas, receiving a full-body massage, testing drinks, snorkeling and book reading may be required”.
Dejus hopes she was selected because her application reflected an ability to do justice to the destinations she will cover.
“I am hoping my background in peace and conflict studies will enable me to combine more traditional travel reporting with a reflection of the ‘real’ societies that I will be visiting” Dejus said.
