A perfect job would be to be paid to do something you love.
Whether it’s doing food reviews or designing clothes, it’s always enticing to think about calling your passion a career. So for those out there with a serious case of wanderlust, most likely the dream job revolves around the concept of being able to travel for free.
Well, an opportunity may be here for you to do just that.
ShopBack Malaysia, a cashback site, is currently in the midst of finding the right individual to jump onboard their team and become their very own Chief Travel Officer. The best part? They’re willing to pay RM10,000 for what may be your next big travel adventure.
So What’s My Jobscope?
If your application goes through, you’ll be provided with a whopping amount of RM10,000. The task? You must plan out 3 weekend holidays in Malaysia that span over 2 months (April to May 2017) by getting the best deals through ShopBack. So basically, your responsibilities will be:

Another perk to add to this is that all cashback earned will be saved for you to own.
