Dream job alert: Bossche bol filler. Is it for you?
Looking for work right now? Stop your ongoing job applications and delete your LinkedIn profile. We’ve found your dream job: Bossche bol filler at Jan de Groot in Den Bosch.
Jan de Groot is the biggest Bossche bol maker in the country. You can eat the hands down most delicious Bossche bol in the Netherlands here. Every day, long lines form outside, waiting for a fresh ‘sjekladebol’. But the company is suffering from a staff shortage. They’re looking for a Bossche bol filler, but just can’t seem to find one. Out of necessity, they even close their doors on Mondays.
Your work as a Bossche bol filler
Who wouldn’t want to spend all day surrounded by Bossche bollen? Don’t be mistaken: being a Bossche bol filler is tougher than you think. Obviously, you need to be passionate about the product, but you also need to be pretty strong. Thousands of ‘bollekes’ pass through your hands every day. You pick up one bol in each hand and place it against the opening of a powerful whipped-cream dispenser. You control the dispenser with your foot. That’s how you fill each bol. But that’s not all: you also whip up litres of whipped cream, fill the dosing machine and spend all day carrying trays full of Bossche bollen around. Pretty heavy work, then. You’ll need quite a bit of muscle power and stamina.
Your kind of thing? Apply!
Can you handle those boxes? Then you can apply directly to Jan de Groot. The employees will be delighted to have you, because they currently have to take turns doing this job. Thanks to you, everyone in that seemingly endless queue will soon be able to enjoy a deliciously filled Bossche bol, every day. And perhaps on Mondays again too. You could be the saving angel of Den Bosch and the surrounding area. Check bosschebollen.nl if you want to apply, or simply walk into the shop.
I would negotiate the terms and conditions, though: a box full of Bossche bollen to take home every day. Even after you retire.
