U.K. company offering internship to taste gin for $34K a year

U.K. company offering internship to taste gin for $34K a year

This isn’t any ordinary internship.

Instead of getting coffee and generally performing the menial tasks that no one else wants to do, the lucky hire would get to travel around Europe sampling gin, while also stuffing their wallet with a roughly C$34,092 (£20,000) paycheck.

Gin tasting and delivery club ILoveGin says it’s looking for an enthusiast of the spirit to fill the position of “gintern.” The lofty qualifications include: being “happy to be spending their days” tasting new gins and mixers, visiting distilleries and using the knowledge they gleaned from the experience to create new pairings.

It could also prove difficult to find ginterns who would be willing to “work” from home, and also travel a couple of times a week to places such as Edinburgh to try a new craft gin, or London for the launch of a new tonic water.

The hire would only have to come into the company’s West London office one or twice a month.

The potential gintern would also have to be over the age of 18, live in the United Kingdom and have a valid driver’s licence.

ILoveGin says the position will last for six months, with the potential to be extended into a full-time gig.

The company is asking applicants to fill out a form and write a 100- to 200-word paragraph explaining why you deserve the gig.

If you think you be perfect for the role – and let’s be honest, most of us probably do – IloveGin is accepting applications until September 16.
