Netflix Tagger / editorial analysts
watch films online laptopEver wondered how Netflix manages to automagically know what to
suggest what you watch next?
That's because some lucky bugger is paid to be a 'Netflix Tagger', where they're essentially paid to
watch shows all day, and tag them with suitable keywords that will match them up with viewers with
particular tastes.
The position is described by Netflix as freelance, flexible, and suitable for working from home. Whilst
the job will involve having to endure lots of rotten films from the 80s, you'll also be the first to see all
the latest Netflix originals, and get paid to watch TV in bed all day. Where do we sign up?
Whilst Netflix are (unsurprisingly) all staffed up for Taggers at the moment, keep an eye on their
careers page in case another opportunity pops up!
“Our job is very much like being a librarian and making sure things are classified accurately, but you
also have the broad knowledge base of how TV shows or movies are related, and if they look good
together in a row on our site
The average Netflix salary ranges from approximately $28,645 per year for Customer Service
Representative to $233,043 per year for Director of Recruiting. Average Netflix hourly pay ranges
from approximately $9.70 per hour for Sorter to $30.00 per hour for Executive Assistant.

Food stylist

How do they manage to make the food in adverts look even more edible than it looks when it's on
the end of your fork?
By employing someone to ‘style’ the starring cuisine like a model on a catwalk, that's how!
The art of arranging food to make it look way more tasty than it is IRL is a really respected career in
the culinary world, apparently.
Some stylists will have a Culinary Arts degree, but many begin as professional photographers who
develop a keen eye for making food look fab.
Techniques involve everything from spraying food with water and sugar to make it catch the light,
and even injecting it with water to plump it up! Gross….
And FYI, a few 'grams of your super cute brunch doesn't qualify you as a food stylist
