Have you ever seen the classic Christmas movie “Elf”? Have you ever wanted to be an elf for Christmas? Or even make it an actual job? Well apparently now you can — in Finland.
Finland’s Lapland Safaris is hiring “elves” to work this Christmas season spreading holiday cheer from the North Pole. If you can put up with the cold temperatures, you may be able to land one of the best seasonal gigs of all time all while bringing holiday cheer to so many people.
As an elf, you could have one of many different responsibilities, including guiding visitors on holiday or leading visitors to their correct busses.
“An Elf is at the same time an entertainer, a guide and a mythical creature of Christmas,” the job listing states. Lapland is looking to hire elves who are “energetic, outgoing, positive persons with good customer skills.”
Before the Christmas season, elves will need to take part in “Arctic Hospitality Guide training.” Once hired, you will work the holiday season from the end of November 2018 through the beginning of January 2019.
Elves should know other languages besides English; knowledge of French, Spanish and German will make you extra competitive in the North Pole job market.
Openings are available in Saariselkä, Levi, Rovaniemi, Hetta, Olos and Ylläs.
