Japan pizza chain offers $31,000/hr part-time job

As part of a series of events commemorating the 25th anniversary of its arrival in Japan, Domino's Pizza Japan is set to hire one lucky person at the rate of 2,500,000 yen ($31,030) for an hour's worth of work in December.

A company spokesman declined to provide further details until November 10, but the company's website said that anyone who wants the job will need to file an application. Those passing to the next stage will undergo an interview.

"Basically it's anybody over 18, no questions about education or experience," the spokesman said. "We're actually a little surprised by how much of a response it's getting."

Hourly pay for part-time jobs in Japan averages just under 1,000 yen ($12.41).

Many of the comments on a Japanese article about the offer noted that the salary was cheap for the probable advertising impact and that there might be better uses for the money, such as raising workers' pay overall.

"If I got this, I couldn't work for being afraid of what the people around me were thinking," one wrote.

In another of the promotions, anyone born on September 30 this year -- the actual date the first Domino's opened in Japan -- will receive a free pizza on their birthday until they turn 25.

Anybody else remember (not sure if it's only RIchmond schools or not) but it was some reading initiative where if you read some number of books you'd get a free pizza from pizza hut?

THat was awesome.

Yep, we had that in St. Louis when I was in Elementary and Middle School. We also got free Six Flags passes if we did 30 hours worth of reading outside of school within a certain time frame. We would just log the time and our parents would sign the form.

I wonder how the hiring process going to be. There are going to tons of people that's going to be overqualified. It's going to be hard to just pick one person.

Why is this news? It's a nation-wide contest and the prize is only $31,000.

Great marketing by them I suppose, for people to be talking about this.

The free pizza for your bday for life is way cooler, another fantastic leverage of tiny amounts of marketing dollars.

the japanese really love their novelties, which is why domino's appropriately chose this type of viral marketing in japan.
