Job Opportunity

Check the requirements below:

• Are you currently looking for a job?

• Are you willing to be “trained” further?
• Do you have strong knees?
• Are you willing to work long hours?

Then, Durex wants you! Hahaha, parang commercial talaga no? Just a few days ago, I saw a link at inquirer and it led me to this announcement:

Durex announced that it will be needing 500 condom testers. The complete requirements can be found in their web site. The task of the chosen ones is to try Durex products for 4 weeks, and after which, make a testimonial of sorts and submit it to them. The writer of the best testimonial (theme, I think, should revolve around the question What makes me the best condonm tester?) will receive 50,000.00 cash prize. I don’t know if the rest of the participants will have participation prizes or something (maybe a message T-shirt “Professional Condom Tester”) but I guess you have nothing to lose if you participate. I mean, what can you lose by joining a condom testing survey/activity, right? I would definitely join them if I were married.

Here are additional, important requirements I found in their web site:

1. The Durex Condom Tester promo is open to all married Filipinos living in the Philippines, 21-35 yrs old. Coverage of the promo is for Luzon only.
2. Five hundred condom testers will be chosen.
3. Short-listed applicants will be informed via email or landline telephone. They will receive a tester kit which contains Durex condom package (Love, Pleasuremax, Performa, Fetherlite, Tingle, and Strawberry). This package will be delivered via courier.
4. Testers will be given 4 weeks to try out the products. And then, after this period, they need to accomplish an online feedback form at www.durexcondomtester.com.ph.
5. The first 25 participants to accomplish this will receive additional free products courtesy of Durex.
6. The tester who provides the best answer to the question "What makes me the best Durex Condom Tester?" will win PhP 50,000 cash, together with free products from Durex.

Do you think this is a good marketing ploy or what? Coz I am so much sure that the church and/or some other conservative groups will say their piece on this one. Well, bahala sila. We are old enough already to decide on our own.
