T h e s w e e te s t jo b
Swizell’s is a company in Britain th a t makes sweets. The sweets are made in
the company’s factory near M anchester in the north of England, and they’re
eaten by kids all over the country. Harry W illsher is one of the company’s
employees, but he’s only 12 years old! His jo b is probably the best jo b in the
factory - he’s the company’s officia l sweet tester.
When a new sweet is invented, i t ’s made in a special departm ent in the
factory - all very secret. Then, the new sweet is sent to Harry’s house for him
to test. He eats it, writes a report about it and sends his report to the factory.
And then a decision is made about whether to make the sweet or not.
Is Harry paid fo r the job? Well, no, he isn’t paid because he’s too young
to work fo r money. But he gets free sweets!
Harry says: ‘When I started the job, I fe lt like I was in the book Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory!’ Harry has got a special uniform and business
cards. He’s got a really sweet job, you m ight say!

D e s e r t Is la n d B lo g g e r
Would you like to look after an island in the Pacific
Ocean? Alm ost 3 5 ,0 0 0 people applied fo r the job,
but Ben Southall got it. How was the winner chosen?
Well, after Ben showed th a t he was good at blogging
and swimming, there was an interview. He was
asked lots of questions to see if he had the right
kind of personality fo r the job. And he did!
So what did Ben have to do in th is job? It was
hard work! He had to live on his own in a 3-bedroom
villa (with a swim m ing pool) on Hamilton Island and
spend every day swim ming, exploring and relaxing.
Then he had to w rite a blog to promote the area.
Ben was paid $111,000 fo r six m onths’ work.
