Travel Company Is Hiring 'Professional Slackers' You Basically Get Paid To Relax Abroad

Imagine how great it would be if slacking off was your job.

It sounds too good to be true, or like the title of an Onion article, but this news is real

It’s a pretty unique type of worker they’re looking to join their team.

The TUI website states that slackers will be paid hourly, at a rate "guaranteed to be way too high in relation to performance," and shifts will run from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. If 7 a.m. sounds a little early for a job focused on relaxation, keep in mind that you're "basically getting paid to sleep."

Slackers will be paid hourly, at a rate "guaranteed to be way too high in relation to performance," and shifts will run from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. If 7 a.m. sounds a little early for a job focused on relaxation, keep in mind that you're "basically getting paid to sleep."

Key qualifications include:

"Not at all able to think outside the box," "like to sit or lie down" and "feel extremely uncomfortable hearing words like “productivity” and “deadlines." And of course, the primary responsibilities are "none."

The "primary responsibilities" of the job are listed as "None."

You don’t even need a resume or cover letter, just write a few sentences on why you’d be the best slacker for the job and take a picture of yourself in your most relaxed position.

Unfortunately, the job is based in Stockholm, Sweden, so if you don't live there, you may not be eligible.

If you're interested in becoming a Fakeation Specialist, you can apply on TUI's website.

Don't worry - they don't want a resume, cover letter or references.

You just have to write a couple lines about yourself and send a photo or video

The job is only for a fixed term between January 22 and February 4.

So, yes, this is basically a paid vacation.
