A closer look at their PDF of official rules also include “excellent interpersonal communication skills, good written and verbal English skills, and being able to cook simple meals with fresh groceries”, on top of other expectations.

The job requires the chosen applicant to be a grocery shopper and delivery bee for Honestbee’s customers, all while learning how to ski, snowboard, “and more”, while based in Niseko, a town located in Hokkaido, Japan. This position of a trained shopper and delivery bee comes with an attractive salary of US$10,000 plus expenses, training, living cost, transport and exclusive activities. The job will commence on 4 January 2016, and it ends on 31 January 2016. Accommodation will be shared and the salary is paid at the end of the job stint.

The application process is simple if you fit their requirements. You will need an Instagram account to follow @honestbeejp, and produce a 15-second video on why you deserve the role. After that, tag Honestbee and the hashtag #WorldsCoolestJob, and hope for the best. From the rules, it seems that the interview process will begin with 10 applicants with the highest number of likes on their Instagram video, with two hires chosen by 28 December 2015.
