Chief Beer Officer Needed
This looks like a sweet job. But there is no paycheck, but there is a trip to Oktoberfest.
From NBC4 here:
Beer Job Comes With Great Perks, No Pay
Drinking on this job won’t get you fired — in fact it’s required. The Wall Street Journal reports the Four Points by Sheraton hotel chain is looking to fill a newly created post of chief beer officer.
The company reports there are more than 5,500 applicants, from 31 countries.
But, or course, there’s a downside to what might sound like a dream job. There’s no salary for the chief beer officer. However, there are plenty of perks such as free hotel stays and a trip to Okotberfest in Munich, Germany.
The beer officer gig is primarily a publicity gimmick, but company officials say it may evolve into a more serious position.
