Carlsberg will pay you S$20,000 to taste its beer for 4 hours

SINGAPORE — If you love drinking and want to make money out of what you love, then this will definitely pique your interest.

Danish brewer Carlsberg is bringing back Carlsberg’s Probably The Best Job In The World campaign, offering a whopping salary of S$20,000 this time — double of what was offered last year — to do four hours of work. The job? You’ve guessed it – drinking beer.

“Whatever Carlsberg does, we strive to do better. While the exhilarating job of a beer taster remains the same this year, the successful applicant will earn S$20,000, which is double the salary offered last year — simply to enjoy ‘Probably the best beer in the world’,” said general manager of Carlsberg Singapore, Jimmy Toh.

To qualify for the coveted job, all you need is a burning passion for the brand’s beer. No educational qualification or prior experience are required.

Aspiring applicants will be required to explain in up to 140 characters why they are the best job applicant for this job as well as name a song title that best describes how they feel when they drink Carlsberg.

“We are looking for the best candidate that exemplifies this spirit, and demonstrates passion for the Carlsberg brand to bag this unique job opportunity,” Toh added.

Registration will close on Dec 4 and shortlisted candidates will have go for a simple job interview on Dec 15. A Class 95 DJ will be present on that day too, to announce the finalist.

Last year, social media manager Daniel Osgodby snagged the job, taking home S$10,000 after “putting in” four hours of “work” enjoying pints of Carlsberg beer. Lucky fella, we say.

Online application for Carlsberg’s Probably The Best Job In The World campaign will open on Nov 21. Interested applicants can go to www.probablythebest.com.sg to apply. This job is only open to applicants aged 18 and above.
