OT - Dream job|?

Netflix offers ‘dream job’ of being paid to watch TV and movies

By Tim Dickinson in Internet, News · July 8, 2014 · No comments

Most of us see curling up in front of the TV as a great way to relax and get a little bit of downtime on a day off, but for some people this is an actual job, but Netflix is offering just that as a real, paid job.

The streaming pioneer is currently advertising for a a new role for one lucky applicant from the UK or Ireland where they will pay you to sit in front of the TV and watch the latest television shows and movies that are being added to the service.

Admittedly you don’t just passively watch, but also add tags about genre, themes, and other relevant information about the episode or film as a “Tagger”, but as jobs go it is still one of the laziest around!

Betsy Sund, Senior Global Communications Manager at Netflix, said:

“We are excited to hear from the UK and Ireland’s most passionate TV and film fans and offer one lucky person the fantastic job opportunity of becoming a Netflix Tagger.

“We try hard to make Netflix locally relevant to our members, in every way – including our genres, descriptions and the way we present our content – so in addition to watching all of our fantastic programming, our UK or Irish tagger will serve as a “cultural consultant” to help ensure that our algorithms continue to produce highly personalized suggestions to all of our over 48 million members.”

Not bad



Your dream job and why?| Mine would be rockstar, travelling the world performing your stuff + groupies


Playing for Liverpool is banned Tobes so you cant have that mate

 

I don't know that it would necessarily be a dream job.

For every blockbuster you have to watch there will be:

a Chinese, badly dubbed, low budget film.
a dozen chick flicks.
crap spinoffs of crap movies like Hollywood comic-book movies.
crap Hollywood comic book movies
nauseating kids shows.
nauseating crap kids Hollywood comic book movies.

 

oceanographer,

travel the world, sailing on boats, getting paid. lovely

 

I disagree, you're a ****... delete this thread please mods


Agree actually, it sounds like it would be fun for a wee while but doing that for months or years would be soul destroying, no matter how much erb you had.

For me a dream job, not sure what it would be, but it would involve moving around a lot, or constantly changing, everything gets boring if you do it long enough. Football probably

 

my dream jobs include:

1. lfc no 9. just like aspas

2. lfc manager.

3. astronaut.

4. batman

5. james may's position on top gear.

6. sultan of brunai...

7. chairman of party in china.

and so forth....

 

No... I wouldn't want crap movies made about me!

 

what?


No, I'm Batman

 

as long as i got to kick ass and hang people upside down out of buildings the movie section... don't care

 

King

 

of the rats? live the the sewers like the guy in teenage mutant ninja turtles?

or knig like mel blanc as it "its good to be the king"

or would it be like that awful john goodman movie

 

madness of king george more like lol.

i wouldn't want to be king.

unless he is on about elvis?

 

Careful on that one, pretty sure all the other top level party members would be gunning for you and your position.

Serious note. Artist, a famous one. Making money out of what I do and would do anyway. Also the appreciation and recognition thing.

 

I meant king as in a lazy **** that gets paid millions to shoot on their arse and do f**k all

#fatlazybaldbatard

 

meh..... rule with an iron fist... i think they've got it better than any king.


artist is good, could be michaelangelo... we don't have a modern equivalent do we?

 

F1 driver. Massive pay, travel all around the world and you'd be able to say you are pretty much one of the 22 elite racing drivers in the world.

 

I want the job in the OP and will be applying.

 

goo one but then again its a hard 2 hour race.

 

Yeah... and they expect you to train, test, and help them develop too!





My ideal job... personal investor.

Just having enough money I can live off dividends and interest alone. Either that, or captain of the Enterprise so I can shag a bunch of green-skinned girls.

 

bartards eh? what ever happen to turning up like that jame hunt movie, puking then driving eh?

 

i would love to do top gear seriously.

which two other not606 users would you put in the three assuming i become james mr slowly may... though i'd rather be clarkson... and who would be the stig.


hamster would be..... short and thick.... hmmmm

jezza = tall and racist.... hmmmm.

stig... = weirdo in a helmet
