There are times when reality surpasses fiction, and in this case we are facing an example that, even knowing that it is real, is difficult to assimilate. This is a job posting from WhatShed, a leading UK company specializing in the design and maintenance of private sheds and gardens. So far everything normal, but what if we told you that the offer is to work in Minecraft?
Play Minecraft and get paid for it
The idea of WhatShed is very simple. If you control the gardening universe in the real world, why not take advantage of your knowledge in the virtual world? That is the reason why they have decided to publish this peculiar job offer, since the company is looking for a Minecraft expert with landscaping knowledge (not essential, but it would help when it comes to being selected) to take care of take care of and design the gardens of Minecraft users.
That’s right, the job would be to shape and make the gardens and plantings built on each client’s private Minecraft servers look their best. The idea is that these virtual gardeners are able to advise users when designing the landscapes of their server, and thus, achieve much more harmonious results with a very unique design.
These virtual gardeners will have to be able to analyze the client’s configuration and propose creative changes that improve the environment, being able to offer options for different budgets and proposing more than one idea that can be expanded in the future.
Creation of jobs from a video game
The idea seems fantastic to us, but the interesting thing about the job offer is that a position is being created from the needs born within a video game. It is something that undoubtedly sounds like a dystopian and super strange future to us, but it is happening now.
Can I apply to the offer?
To present your candidacy for this job, you will only have to complete a form published on the official website of WhatShed, where you will have to inform if you have had previous experience, if you have the equipment to perform the job and tell the reason why you would be a excellent virtual gardener.
Candidates who land the position can say they work remotely from home decorating and designing Minecraft gardens, and best of all, they can boast that they earn £ 50 an hour playing a video game. That really is having a privilege. Do not you think?
