Animal Crossing New Horizons

If you love nothing more than designing homes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons - and happen to be pretty good at it, too - you could find yourself earning up to £40 an hour as part of a new service dreamt up by Olivia's, a luxury homeware brand.

The new service has been designed to hire talented Animal Crossing players who have an eye for interior design and know the game's catalogue of items inside out. Players who are feeling stuck with their own designs can hire these specialists to check out their island and help them get the house of their dreams.

If you want to submit an application, you can do so here. Applicants will be asked to provide a brief description of relevant experience along with their CV, and you'll obviously need a copy of the game on Switch and a good internet connection. Apparently, you "can expect to earn upwards of £40/hour" for your services, but you can choose your own rates.

Alternatively, if you're reading this and thinking that a visit from a talented designer would be good for your island, you can register your interest in hiring a consultant here. You'll be able to discuss desired styles and find practical solutions along with your consultant in real-time.

Is this the eSports competition equivalent for Animal Crossing? Imagine having 'Interior Designer - Animal Crossing' on your CV. Amazing.
