You occasionally hear of those amazing jobs, people being paid to taste whisky all day long, or test how comfortable beds are, for example, but partypoker’s ‘mathematical strategist’ role has to be right up there with the best – as a number of shocked applicants found out at their interview…
It sounded like the dream career, the interviewer reeling off the benefits…
- start at noon and flexible hours
- travel the world and stay at 5 star hotels
- salary ranging from 100k up to millions!
Who wouldn’t be interested!? The chance to work from home if you want to? Visit Rio, Russia and the Caribbean? No wonder the applicants were gobsmacked! There was only one catch…
Yep, the job with the amazing perks is being a poker professional!
Of course, that requires having a poker face, the interviewees joining in on the prank with a variety of poses and facial contortions, although it’s not clear if this young lady has ever seen a poker game in her life!
Comedy value aside, partypoker’s little bit of fun does show what’s still possible in the poker world, so as one of the interviewees said:
”Consider me interested, sign me up!”
