Does your dream job involve superpowers? All-expense-paid getaways? Unicorns? An endless supply of chicken nuggets? Good news, if it's the nuggets as a  for an official 'Nugget Connoisseur' has sent the Internet into overdrive. And yes, it's 100 per cent legit.
According to the ad,  is looking to launch a new range of fresh and frozen foods (which most definitely includes chicken nuggets) and they need a taste-tester to, um, try them all.

Sounds pretty good so far.

So what kinds of qualifications does one need?

The ad specifies "experience includes, but is not limited to ..." the below:

  • Getting the 20 share box of nuggets from McDonald's and keeping them all for yourself. 
  • Being the first in the office kitchen whenever someone says there’s cake.
  • That time you tripped and fell at a buffet and saved the plate before yourself.
  • Going to an event or party because there is free food.
  • You value the importance of a fish finger sandwich in life.
  • You can conduct a PowerPoint presentation on the reasoning behind curly fries being nicer than chips.
And the best part: to apply, you only need to upload a paragraph on why you deserve (need) this position. No resume or cover letter necessary.

Okay, what's the catch? There's a catch, right? 

Sorry world, the job is only open to those in the UK, and before you go sticking it to your nine-to-fiver and start purchasing property over the way, this nugget gig is only temporary and doesn't pay hard cash. According to the ad, in exchange for their advice, feedback and pure expertise, "the successful individual will receive £25 (AUD$45) vouchers each month to spend on fresh and frozen food in their local B&M store". 

Still interested? Then jump online and apply and seriously think about renegotiating your rent in nugget installments?
