Take-out pizza chain hiring.
Aged over 18
No experience required.
Uniform provided.
Salary: $31,000 an hour.
TOKYO (Reuters) – As part of a series of events commemorating the 25th anniversary of its arrival in Japan, Domino's Pizza Japan will hire one lucky person at the rate of 2,500,000 yen ($31,030) for an hour's worth of work in December.
A company spokesman declined to provide further details until November 10, but the company's website said that anyone who wants the job will have to file an application. Those passing to the next stage will undergo an interview.
"Basically it's anybody over 18, no questions about education or experience," the spokesman said. "We're actually a little surprised by how much of a response it's getting."
Hourly pay for part-time jobs in Japan averages just under 1,000 yen ($12.41).
Many of the comments on a Japanese article about the offer noted that the salary was low for the probable advertising impact and that there might be better uses for the money, such as raising workers' pay overall.
In another promotion, anyone born on September 30 this year -- the actual date the first Domino's opened in Japan -- will receive a free pizza on their birthday until they turn 25.
