The Dutch confectionary company may have just posted the world's best job opportunity for a chocoholic. Better yet, the company is looking to hire three people who are driven by their passion for chocolate.
Though based in Amsterdam, Tony's Chocolonely is looking to hire a Chocotruck Captain and two Choco Co-Pilots to drive across 10 different US cities in it's Chocotruck Truck. During the four-month tour, the captain will handle "the logistics, photography, and daily recap responsibilities of tour." On the other hand, the co-pilots will have a three-month contract, and will be responsible for assisting "with event setup and chocolate taste testing and sales, as well as answering visitor questions." In other words, it's the perfect opportunity for anyone who loves chocolate to turn their passion into a day job (at least for a few months).
Though the job will involve handing out sweets, the Chocotruck Captain and Choco Co-Pilots will also be responsible for consumers about the inequalities in the cocoa industry.
