Calling anyone who doesn’t mind tippling on champagne while lying in a hammock slung between two palm trees on a white sandy beach with their partner beside them, as the search for a candidate to fill what has been billed as the Ultimate Job in Ireland gets underway.
The job has been created by travel agent Zara Stassin of Zara’s Planet and wedding planner Rosemarie Meleady of www.TheWeddingPlanner.ie, in association with the Irish Times, to mark the launch of a new destination wedding and honeymoon website www.runawaybrideandgroom.com.
The six-month position will involve the successful candidate visiting some of the most luxurious wedding and honeymoon destinations around the world and writing about each one in the Irish Times GO travel supplement.
A salary of €20,000 will be provided for the six months, and the chosen candidate’s significant other will also be able to accompany them for free.
“We are looking for the right person who we can send to destinations such as Zanzibar, Mauritius, Thailand and sample wedding menus, champagne, spa treatments and put some of the most luxurious honeymoon suites to the test!” explained Rosemarie Meleady, managing director of Runaway Bride and Groom.
“The successful candidate will be required to report back their verdict to us. This will involve writing about the destinations for GO and recording webcasts of the venues and destinations so our future wedding and honeymoon couples can really get a feel for the luxury and exotic locations Runaway Bride and Groom have to offer,” she added.
The successful candidate will:
- Have good communication skills
- Be passionate about travelling
- Appreciate good service, fine dining and luxurious surroundings
- Have a friendly personality
- Be able to work on own initiative
- Know how to enjoy life
- Have good organisational skills
- Have a romantically-linked other-half, who also has the above qualifications and who is willing to accompany you on your trip (in a voluntary capacity).
Potential candidates are being asked to make a 90-second video marketing Ireland as a wedding destination of choice and to say why they and their romantically-linked other half are the best couple for the job. They are also asked to write 200 words stating why they should be chosen for the job.
