Dream job for chocolate lovers

Are you out of work? Do you love chocolate? 

Then you might be interested in an advertisement that appeared last week in cinemas all over the country. (1)_________

The successful candidate will have to travel abroad regularly to look for the best ingredients for thepany's products. (2)______The best part of the job will be testing the new products, which will be done, of course, by the Taste Assistant.

No formal qualifications are needed for the job, but there is one rather special requirement. (3)_______ Thepany is looking for someone with 'a good nose'. They have no preference for men or women for the job, and age is not important. According to experts, however, women are usually more sensitive to taste than men. They also say that we lose our sense of taste as we get older. For this reason, the successful applicant is likely to be young and female. 

The first stage in the selection process will be an interview. 

(4)________Here, they must identify the flavours of chocolate bars that thepany has prepared specially. They won't be chocolate that they have to taste. The final stage will be a live ‘Taste Challenge’in which the five best candidates will take part. The prize for the winner will be the Taste Assistant job.

If you are interested in the post, you need to send in a CV with a cover letter. (5)______ Thepany will hold interviews in the first week of January, and the successful candidate will start their new job early next year.
