For anyone who thinks they could identify each M&M color with their eyes closed, Mars Wrigley's new Candy Connoisseur Internship may be the perfect fit. That's right, there is a real (paid!) position now open to candy lovers.
According to an online job posting, Mars Wrigley Confectionery is looking for a 'Candy Connoisseur' for an 8 to 12-week internship this summer. The position has been dubbed the "World’s Sweetest Internship" and responsibilities include tacking brand communications, social channels, and media relations. However, the brand isn't looking for just anyone with a sweet tooth. According to the posting, the ideal candidate must have "a strong interest in 'treating yourself,' be open to exploring new and interesting flavor combinations, and know his or her way around the candy aisle."
