Dream job: Become Ken in the Maldives!

Want to visit the Maldives for free? We’ve got the job for you!

Coco Collection, a group of luxury resorts in the Maldives, is looking for someone to play the role of Ken for ten days following the release of the film Barbie.

Coco Collection has announced that it is recruiting for the role of Ken, giving one lucky person a chance to spend ten nights living in this heavenly location.

The winner will fly to the breathtaking resort of Coco Bodu Hithi, where he or she will take on the role of Ken for ten days, far from reality. Located in the North Malé atoll, Coco Bodu Hithi offers perfect white-sand beaches and beautiful shores.

As with any job application, potential candidates must meet specific criteria. These criteria are as follows:

Be able to stand proudly in the sand
Spend endless hours contemplating the Indian Ocean
Follow the morning waves
Empty your head of all thought
Having your rollerblades with you at all times
Be comfortable performing a solo musical number or a group dance sequence.
Master the guitar
Know by heart the lyrics to “Push” by Matchbox Twenty
Have at least two pairs of sunglasses at all times.
Hold and lean on a surfboard
60 years experience as a Ken (preferred but not required)
Those recruiting for this position have stated that it is stress-free, free of lifeguard responsibilities, free of the need to surf, free of horses, free of patriarchy and beach trips.

The chosen beach lover will stay for ten nights in their dream home, close to the sand and equipped with stylish accessories, and their partner or friend can accompany them.

Candidates need not have any previous experience but must be over 18. Prospective beach staff will be asked to explain in 150 words “why they’re right for this role.” Applications close at noon on August 31.

How cool is that! Good luck!!!
