Help wanted:
If holding a gun and yelling a lot is your forte, the northern island of Svalbard, Norway could use your help this summer. They’re taking applications for polar bear spotters. The job starts July 8th and lasts for three weeks. Job requirements for the polar bear spotting position include previous experience with the outdoors, good eyesight and competence with firearms. Applicants will also need strong yelling skills. You won't be required to shoot the bear, but you will need to scream and yell to scare them off and alert researchers working in the area.
Svalbad has a population of about 2,400 people - and roughly 3,000 polar bears. You’ll also want to pack a sweater. The island is in the Arctic Ocean, halfway between Norway and the North Pole.
