Awesome job alert: The company that makes Oreo, Cadbury, Toblerone and Chips Ahoy among other delicacies is looking for a product taster. Yes, this is real. And it’s fantastic.

American confectionary giant Mondelez International recently did a callout for applicants to “taste chocolate and cocoa beverage products and give objective and honest feedback.” The job, based in Reading, U.K., will be offered to 11 lucky panellists and one panel leader.

But can you satisfy the strict requirements? In a posting on their career site, the desired qualifications include “a passion for confectionary and taste buds for detection” and also “honesty when it comes to giving an opinion.”

Also, don’t think you’ll be sitting around a Willy Wonka factory 24/7 eating Dairy Milk and creme eggs. The gig is only 7.5 hours a week, leaving plenty of time for you to nap off the sugar coma and Instagram your workday. And possibly hit the gym. The best part? Successful tasters get a benefits package that includes financial rewards, a pension, life assurance and generous holiday allowance. Plus, word on the street is that Mondelez is still looking to add Hershey to its brand list.

So don’t wait; apply online before the application closes. Then start prepping for the interview immediately by grabbing a Vegas-style cup filled with quarters and coopting the nearest vending machine. Good luck.
