Roblox is a sandbox game that is particularly popular among underage players. Within Roblox, you can create your own games or test the works of the community. The possibilities are nearly limitless: There are shooters, racing games, puzzle games, and much more. And now you can even work at an Ikea in Roblox.
What is the job about? The furniture store IKEA has opened a shop in the sandbox game Roblox. For the company’s Roblox branch, the corporation has also published an official job advertisement (via thecoworker.co.uk).
A total of ten employees are to be hired to work in the IKEA store in Roblox and get “a taste of what it is like to pursue a career in a real-life IKEA.” There is also a real salary of 14.80 euros per hour.
Within the Roblox IKEA, there are expected to be different work areas, including the showroom and the bistro. Employees will have tasks such as helping customers choose furniture and serving meatballs.
You can also visit a furniture store in another game, but here you can expect monsters instead of meatballs:
Who can apply for the position? Unfortunately, the position is only open to individuals who live in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland. Therefore, German, Swiss, or Austrian Roblox players have no chance at the job.
Additionally, applicants must be at least 18 years old and should not currently be employed at a (real) IKEA.
Moreover, applicants must fill out a form that asks for typical information such as name, date of birth, and phone number, as well as social media accounts like TikTok or Instagram, if available.
Applicants will also be asked three “interesting” questions:
- What do you think about being turned into pixels?
- If you were a pixelated IKEA piece of furniture, which one would you be and why?
- What would you do if we ran out of pixelated hot dogs in our bistro?
If you were planning to move to the United Kingdom, are an enthusiastic Roblox player, and over 18 years old, then this could be the ideal job for you. Provided you show up for the interview: There’s a popular trend among Gen Z: They do not show up for interviews
