The use of Facebook as a recruitment tool has paid off for a hotel in Finland seeking a Northern Lights watcher.

Earlier this month, The Arctic Snow Hotel in Finland announced on its Facebook page it was seeking someone to monitor the spectacular natural occurring light show of the Aurora Borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights.

Key requirements for the seasonal role include speaking English and being able to stay awake through the night so as to alert people staying at the hotel when the Northern Lights are visible.

In an update on its Facebook page this week, the hotel said it had received so many enquiries for the role that was impossible to reply to all of them, but thanked candidates for their interest.
