Best jobs #17: Massage interviewer
Googler Reza Behforooz has the enviable job of interviewing prospective Google massage therapists. "I sit in a massage chair and receive a massage and then write feedback about it. Oh yeah. Life really is that sweet."
Reza Behforooz, self described massage expert and software engineer, was asked one day to do a massage interview. "It sounded Googley," Reza writes, so "I decided to help." Now Reza is a regular.
What exactly is a massage interview, you might ask? "I sit in a massage chair and receive a massage and then write feedback about it." At first Reza "felt a bit like a poser," but after a few months of experience started getting the hang of it.
When you find an awesome candidate who gives off a warm, calming attitude and just keeps magically making my (almost always) sore back disappear and lets me forget about all the stresses of the world for a few minutes, that's when I know we've found the next Google massage therapist.
That's gotta look good on a resume. "Oh yeah. Life really is that sweet."
