Sometimes your career path can seem narrow, with very little options based on what you’re good at. But here at The Newsette, we made it our mission to find under-the-radar jobs that are perfect for specific skill sets, that you most likely have never heard of. Okay, some of these are a little crazy, but the lesson here is that you never truly know what’s out there… so maybe it’s time to explore your profession, and find a position that fulfills you completely. Scan our list of five jobs you didn’t know existed below, and get some inspiration to venture off into a career exploration.
Personal Shopper. Yes, you can actually be paid to shop—but not for yourself. Personal shopping involves working with a celeb, businesswoman, or any other important person to keep their wardrobe filled with the latest designer collections.
Netflix Tagger. Turns out the hours you spend binging your favorite TV shows can actually make you a living. Basically, this part-time position allows you to work from home and watch the latest shows released via Netflix. Then, you simply enter key describing words so that people can search them.
Greens(wo)man. This job pays well (about $84k) and is for anyone who loved succulents before they were even cool. The daily task involves designing and arranging plant materials on a film set, and requires plant knowledge and some masonry skills.
Chief Listening Officer. That’s right, being glued to social media can actually pay the bills. Being a CLO means that you monitor social media platforms for mentions about the company/brand you’re working for, and then report that data.
Food Stylist. Are you constantly taking photos of your meals? If you immediately answered yes, this might be your calling. Food styling consists of preparing and arranging food to look good for advertisements and magazine spreads (read: basically making the person on the other side’s stomach growl).
