It may not feel like it in many parts of the country right now with temperatures still soaring, but fall is just around the corner. That means pumpkin spice season is upon us, and if you’re a fan of all those fall-flavored foods you’re in luck. FinanceBuzz is looking for a “Pumpkin Spice Pundit” to taste test some of Trader Joe’s seasonal goodies, and it’s willing to pay you $1,000 to do it.

If this sounds like your kind of side gig here’s what you need to know. According to the FinanceBuzz website applicants need to “love pumpkins” and live near a Trader Joe’s. The winner will be required to photograph each food item sampled and provide a brief description and rating of the item based on a specified criteria. The notes you priovide will be shared with FinanceBuzz shoppers so they can decide whether they should add some of those pumpkin spice products to their carts.

The person selected to be the “Pumpkin Spice Pundit” will be paid $1,000, plus an extra $500 in Trader Joe’s gift cards. To apply for the job you can visit the FinanceBuzz website. You must be at least 18 years old to apply and a U.S. resident. Applications are due by August 28 at 11:59 pm ET. The official Trader Joe's tester will be selected on September 2 and will have until September 18 to taste and rate the Trader Joe's foods.
