Your dream job in les Sables d’Olonne!

CREAMERS

It’s a hard job as they say, but someone’s got to do it…

Les Sables d’Olonne, in partnership with Garnier Ambre Solaire, have launched a massive online search for two CREAMERS.

You could be working this summer on one of the most beautiful beaches in France, explaining in French, English and German the benefits of sun protection cream, and then be paid the luscious sum of FIVE THOUSAND EUROS for your six weeks of trouble!

Sorry, but I’m still gasping!  Why was there never a job offer like this around when I was a student!

So for any of your young ‘uns now biting at the bit to get applying, here are two easy steps to landing your ideal summer job

Grande Plage, Les Sables d'Olonne

Firstly, apply online and download your self-promotional one minute video (via Youtube, DailyMotion or Vimeo), the jury are looking for something fresh and fun.

Then get twittering! Be a Facebook fiend!  Mobilise your online network and get everyone you know in the whole wide world to vote for you!  ‘Cos at the beginning of June, the ten most voted for candidates go through to the next round!

But don’t give up hope if you’re not in the top ten, the jury could still call you in for an interview… Oh, to be twenty years younger!
