€5,000 summer job applying suncream

A BEACH resort on the Atlantic coast is looking to pay two people €5,000 each over the summer to work as "creamers" - applying sun lotion to holidaymakers.

Les Sables d'Olonne in the Vendée has launched the online recruitment campaign for the six-week job, which will run from July 10 to August 22.

The pay works out at €23 an hour before deductions, for a basic 35-hour working week. The initiative is being sponsored by a brand of sun-care products.

The two "creamers" will be based in a beach hut at the popular resort and tasked with applying 30,000 sun-cream samples as well as dishing out advice on how to stay safe in the sun.

Applications are due to open today at www.lejobdelete.com and the closing date is May 23. You will need to provide a CV and record a 45-second video clip explaining why you deserve the job.

The PR-savvy seaside resort is also promoting a "sunshine or your money back" policy this summer. Holidaymakers can cancel their trip up to 48 hours before arrival without any charges if the weather is bad.
