Are you the world’s greatest TikTok talent and would you like to use your creativity to work for a company filled with outdated millennials? Then the summer job homewear brand Pockies just posted might be just the thing for you. The company is looking for someone that can create funny video’s from them on TikTok. How to apply for the job you ask? By making a TikTok of course.

Going Viral
Can you scroll through feeds for days? Do you know all about hypes and memes? And is TikTok for you what MySpace is for you uncle? Then you might be just the one for this summer job. Pockies, known for their Couch Couture such as boxer shorts with pockets, is looking for young talent that can help them create content for their new social channel. According to the job application you need to have made a joke or two before, spend most of your time horizontal and go viral at all costs. “We’ve got the feeling TikTok is the platform where it happens right now, but we can really use some help” says Pockies-founder Michiel Dicker. “We have some experience with creating content for Instagram, but TikTok something else.”

Apply through TikTok
In order to get the position, you have to apply just like with any other other job. The way to apply, however, is a bit different than usual. No motivation letter or resume, but a TikTok where you show Pockies what you’ve got. “It seemed like the logical thing to do, since that would be exactly the work our new colleague is going to do!” says Dicker. All applications will be reviewed by a grand jury of Gen-Zers. The maker of the video that collects the most giggles gets the job. He or she can count on €500 per month for around 10 hours of work.

Knowledge of Couch Culture
Aside from having great skill and know-how of TikTok it is of great importance that the candidate has some degree of knowledge of ‘Couch Culture’: “Basically anything that happens on and around the couch. Lying down, eating snacks, watching reality TV, that sorta stuff,” says Dicker “it is the foundation of our brand.” Quite relaxing to know that you can perform the job while spending your days horizontally on the couch.

Pockies is no stranger when it comes to promoting that relaxed lifestyle. “We want to make the lives of people as easy as can be,” Dicker tells us. This started out a couple of years ago with the invention of boxer shorts with pockets (so no need for pants anymore), but over the years the collection has expanded with PJ’s, Djellaba’s, Socks with a thickened footbed, Jogger Suits and Boxer Briefs with pockets. “Last year we even created pocket sized tubes of mayonnaise to you always have your favorite condiment at hand!”
