Holiday movies are the rage during the festive season. From Home Alone to A Christmas Carol, every year new movies hit the screens to add to the ever-growing list of films that bring cheer to the viewers. But there’s one category of movies that often draws mixed reactions: the Hallmark movies. However, it looks like one company is trying to change that with a new job position that’s sure to grab the attention of the most fervent Hallmark fanatics.
Hallmark Christmas movies may be known for their melodramatic plots, cookie-cutter characters, and predictable endings. But what if you could get paid to watch a whopping 12 of these movies? Yes, you heard that right. A company is offering a dream job to watch twelve Hallmark movies for a two-thousand-dollar paycheck. Can you imagine being paid thousands of dollars to suffer through cheesy, cringe-worthy moments, and the same romantic formula that plays out in each and every film? What an honor!
It’s no secret that these movies are a guilty pleasure for many people. Netflix has jumped on the bandwagon of holiday-themed rom-coms, and now, a website called CenturyLinkQuote is moving into the spotlight, offering a seasonal job that might make others cringe more than the onscreen antics. The job posting reads “We’re looking for one brave soul to take on the challenge of watching twelve Hallmark movies in twelve days. If you think you have the ruthless analytical skills required to dissect a clichéd Christmas movie with a critical eye, we want you. If you think you can last until the happy ending, we definitely want you.”
Aspiring applicants have to provide a short video explaining why they are the perfect candidate for the job, although with its subject matter, anyone with an ability to stomach daytime soap operas or Twilight sequels would probably be a shoo-in. Although it might seem like a modest feat, anyone who has ever sat through just one Hallmark movie, let alone a dozen, knows that this will be nothing short of a Herculean task.
The selected candidate would not only get an opportunity to watch the most predictable movies ever made but would also have to take notes on each one, detailing their plots, settings, and characters, and offer honest feedback when it comes to the acting, cheesy dialogue, and cringeworthy moments. The job comes with a bonus of a packet of hot cocoa, a packet of Christmas cookies, and a cozy blanket. After all, the company knows that only a few doses of sugar and warmth can keep someone motivated through this special kind of torture.
So if you’re willing to be paid to watch Hallmark movies and have an overwhelming tolerance for heartwarming, sugary movies, then this is the dream job for you. Prepare yourself for a marathon of gooey romantic moments, the quaintest Christmasy locations you’ve ever seen, and endings that are so predictable that the locked-away scripts could sit comfortably behind a pile of their movie DVDs.
In conclusion, it’s a great opportunity for everyone who loves Hallmark movies as they may not only enjoy twelve movies for two thousand dollars but also have cookies, cocoa, and a cozy blanket. Bon Appétit and Happy Watching!
