A WOMAN who works in a job nobody else wants to do revealed how easy it is to qualify.
With no formal training or qualifications required, this high-paying should be in high demand – but there’s one issue.
A TikTok user shared an insight into her unique and interesting job
This viral TikTok user works in a highly unusual role that could earn you up to £45,000 annually.
The job in question is a mortuary technician, which the woman regulalry discusses on her social media accounts.
In one clip , she discussed the joining requirements for working in “the funeral profession”.
While the TikToker began as a funeral service operative, she eventually worked her way up the ladder.
However, there is no clear cut way to enter this industry – with experience and compassion as the main assets.
According to the mortuary worker, there weren’t many requirements for those applying for the position.
“The only requirement I had to have was a license,” she told her followers.
She recalled how she learned on the job, shadowing someone for her first week and completing tasks as the funeral director observed.
It took her about four or five weeks to get all the aspects of the job signed off.
According to the TikToker, the only one she struggled with was pall bearing due to her short stature.
“There was no official training, you’re given a booklet and read through it, to be fair, majority of it is on the job training,” she explained.
Now she uses her online platform to answer questions about her unique career.
People ask her everything from how bodies are embalmed to her preferred funeral arrangements.
The TikToker has also used her position to lead discussions on grief and coping with loss.
Her followers shared their support for the important work in the comments section.
