Something for the weekend: Luxury dessert organisation Pots and Co is seeking a part-time pudding taster to offer feedback on its chocolate and fruit-filled delicacies for a wage of £15 an hour.
Pots and Co posted the job advertisement on its LinkedIn page, asking for sweet-toothed dessert lovers to apply for the drool-inducing role of professional pudding taster.
