Finally, a company where sleeping on the job is required.
Online sleeper sofa brand Coddle has an opening for a “Coddled Intern” — insomniacs need not apply.
The 8-week summer internship, dubbed “Rest and Digest,” is open to folks 21 and older living in the continental US. The unique opportunity pays $10,000.
Requirements are fairly simple: “lounging, napping, and snacking,” plus some light content creation, according to the Coddle’s job announcement.
The job even comes with one of the Silicon Valley company’s sleeper sofas that’ll be yours to keep.
“Summer internship season brings stress and scramble,” offered Ana Arun, Coddle’s CEO. “We figured it was time someone got paid to actually sit on the couch all summer — no guilt trips required.”
The perfect candidate will have “a knack for binge-watching, and the confidence to go viral in sweatpants.
“Prior experience with nesting, napping, or being chronically online is a bonus but not required,” according to the job posting.
Coddle will start accepting submissions on May 13. And by the end of the internship, the company said you’ll be “the most well-rested person on the internet.”
As part of the search process, applicants are being asked “to show why they deserve the cushiest internship in America” in a 30-second Instagram video using the hashtag #Coddle_Contest.
Submissions are being accepted via Instagram through June 3 at 11:59 p.m.
“Whether you’re a student, recent grad, career shifter, or just someone who takes sleep seriously, we want your honest take,” Arun noted.
