    Here's how

    Thinking about a career change? You're probably frantically Googling career hacks and searching for the 'best time of day to apply for a new job'.

    However, the search ends here and now - because we've found a job that is perfect for pretty much anyone who loves a good roast dinner.

    How about trying your had at Yorkshire pudding tasting?

    An advert on Airtasker was posted, reading: 'Need help perfecting my Yorkshire Puddings' and it might sound too good to be true, but it isn't. Plus, it's a paid position.

    The ad reads: 'Do you love Yorkshire Puddings? Fancy yourself as the next Paul Hollywood?

    'Then I’ve got a task for you! We’re searching for one Yorkshire resident who knows what makes the perfect pud to help us perfect our signature Sunday Roast.

    'One lucky candidate will be chosen to attend a session at The Botanist Trinity, where you’ll be served a wide range of Yorkshire puddings made using different methods, with gravy of course!'

    What to read next

    Not only will you be served up an array of Yorkshire puddings to try, you'll also get £250 for your time and tastebuds.

    All you have to do to land the job of your dreams is reply to the advert listing describing 'the most memorable roast dinner you’ve ever had'.

    Examples include: 'Maybe you travelled miles back home for your Mum’s roast beef after a break up, or did you pop the question over the gravy boat? Perhaps your most prominent memory is burning the potatoes to crisps and having to eat out instead! Whatever made that roast dinner memorable, we want to know about it.'

    The job listing states that 'the applicant with the story that makes [them] laugh or cry' will land the coveted position as Yorkshire pudding taster.

    So get thinking of your best roast story. Good luck.
