Applicants saying ‘Abracadabra’ to get a new job

You’d expect applicants to flock to a job with flexible hours, little stress and no stuffy work clothes. But what if it required workers to live in a cave, befriend cats, learn magic and cackle on command?

Still sound out of this world?

Wookey Hole Caves, a family tourist attraction in Somerset, England, is holding auditions for an actor or actress to portray the historical, “world-renowned” character of the Wookey Witch. The live performer will give visitors a real sense of what the caves were like in the Dark Ages.

The candidate must be prepared to stay in the caves overnight, and have extensive knowledge of witchcraft’s history. For the audition process, each applicant is expected to come in full witch garb / makeup, and bring any necessary supplies, though a “limited range of potion ingredients” will be provided.

In under a week, the company has received 100 applications for the position. Think your company could spark interest in a job like that?
