Now you can work for IKEA... from a video game! Swedish firm announces new VIRTUAL jobs that will pay people 13.15-an-hour to serve meatballs and 'explore' its world

If you like the sound of earning money while playing games, IKEA has the opportunity for you. The Swedish furniture giant will start paying people up to 13.15 an hour to become staff members in a virtual version of its stores. The'fully remote' role will include helping customers choose their furniture and serving up meatballs in a digital recreation of its iconic bistro. Anyone interested will have to fill out an application form and submit a CV – although IKEA says there's only 10 positions available. The company is taking applications for the game on a dedicated webpage from now until June 16, before the game launches on June 24.
