The company hiring, Funzing, announced on Tuesday that 22-year-old Ivy Lim has been picked for the role, beating 5,000 competitors who applied online.

Yahoo! reports that Lim is a “freelance model and DJ.” She gets S$1,000 ($739) a month for a three-month contract to help Funzing organise Pokmon Go events and attend them to show people how to play the game.
Funzing is an events listing site that’s designed a lot like Airbnb, allowing people to sign up for activities near them.
It’s not clear what exactly got her the job, but Lim appears safely obsessed enough with the game on her social accounts.

She also posted a thank you video on Facebook, upon getting the job.
Several netizens have remarked that the salary appears to be on the low side for the average full-time job in Singapore.

Still, you could do far worse than S$1,000 a month. A bartender in New Zealand quit his job to play Pokmon Go full-time in July.
A teacher in Britain also quit her job to play the game, but seemed to have a plan for money: She said she intended to level up quickly and sell her accounts on eBay.
And then earlier this month, a Danish company started offering part of the salary for a new sales person in PokCoins, the mobile game’s virtual currency.
