foodpanda Engaging a ‘Chief Makan Officer’ with $5K Allowance Whereby All You Do is to Eat

Step aside, Chief Executive Officers. There’s a new position in line, and I gotta say;

This one sounds a lot more… drool-worthy.

foodpanda Engaging a ‘Chief Makan Officer’ with $5K Allowance Whereby All You Do is to Eat

Food delivery service foodpanda has unveiled a whole new profession to the world:

The Chief Makan Officer, also known as the CMO.

That’s right folks, foodpanda is paying you to dine to your heart’s content.

According to the job posting, lucky applicants will be paid a $1,000 monthly salary, with an extra $5,000 allowance.

The hefty sum will cater to all your foodie needs (for content).

Criteria

Like any self-respecting job, however, the CMO also commands its own criteria.

According to the food delivery service, you’ll need to possess the ability to:

• Navigate hawker centres like a pro
• Visit restaurants for media tasting sessions and content creation
• Predict the next foodie hotspot
• Make everyone jealous of all the sumptuous fare you’re consuming

If you tick all the boxes, or at least think you have what it takes to tick them all, you can apply for the job. If successful, you’ll be granted a 3-month contract starting 4 Jan 2021.

Also, you’ll get behind-the-scenes access to designated restaurants and pandamart warehouses.

And It May Just Go ‘Full-Fledged’

Incredibly, it appears that the 3-month period may just be an internship window of sorts.

Apparently, prospective CMOs may be able to work with foodPanda after the contract’s over, as a so-called “full-fledged food influencer”.

So if you dream of becoming the next Seth Lui or just want a paid excuse to stuff yourself with food, you know what to do.

However, it should be noted that there are certain risks involved.

For one, foodpanda stated that they will not be responsible for any weight gain on your part.

Which means that logically, a high metabolism should be one of the criteria as well.

Application Process

All ready to rumble? Well, here’s the important part.

To convince foodpanda that you’re the Next Big CMO in the making, you’ll need to send them a 1-minute video here.

Persuade them of your food-destroying abilities. As long as it’s creative and relevant, anything goes.

And yes, mukbangs are included as well.

Which begets the all-important question;

What on earth are you waiting for?

The deadline is on 15 December 2020, so if you think you have what it takes…

The road’s all yours!

Other Jobs That Sounds Too Good To Be True

Though rare, it appears that such ‘fairy tale’ jobs are far from being non-existent.

Incredibly so.

A while back, the folks over at home renovation portal Vehs.com made an utterly dazzling revelation:

Simply go about your usual home routine for three days, and you’ll be $2,000 richer by the end of it.

Apparently, you’re free to do whatever you want within that time frame too. As long as you comply with Covid-19 safety measures, anything’s fair game.

In addition, three meals will be provided, and you’ll even have your own personal Alfred (butler) to assist you with anything you need.

And in September, British clothing brand Pour Moi offered S$500 for a “chilled-out reviewer” to test the comfortability of their loungewear and nightwear.

You’ll have to wear the product sent to you for ten hours while completing a series of tasks such as:

• Watching three episodes of your favourite TV show from a sofa/bed
• Enjoying a relaxing glass of wine or delicious hot chocolate snuggled on the sofa
• Making a cup of tea (or other favourite hot drink)
• Scrolling through your phone’s social media apps for a minimum of 10 minutes

After completing the tasks, you just need to fill up a survey form and voila, you’ll be $500 richer at the end of it.
