Nerf is hiring a new CTO, that’s Chief TikTok Officer, to make 10 to 12 TikTok videos a month.

The job will last for three months, but maybe it’ll go longer if you really show them something. They didn’t say how much it’s going to pay.

If you’re interested, you can apply by posting a Nerf TikTok video with the hashtag #NerfAppreciation through Friday. Then once they pick the finalists, they’re going to do actual interviews.

It’s April Fools Day.

Many say the custom of playing practical jokes on this day originated with the reform of the calendar when New Year’s Day was moved from April 1st to January 1st. Those who clung to the old New Year’s Day were scoffed at as ‘fools’ and sent fake party invitations and prank gifts.
