Perks include free gin, of course.

Johdi Dinsdale was scrolling through Facebook when she saw an ad that made her stop.

ILoveGin.com - a West London-based online gin and tonic club - was looking to hire a "gintern."

The part-time position would pay up to £20,000 and required the gintern to travel around the UK and Europe and visit one or two new gin companies every week.

Ginterns would work remotely, aside from a monthly visit to the office. Perks included free gin, naturally.

"After one or two gins, I applied," Dinsdale told Business Insider. "It looked like a perfect fit for me and my new hobby."

Dinsdale had previously trained to be a teacher and worked in education for seven years. During that time, she began blogging about gin with her sister. Dinsdale would review and photograph gin drinks and receive samples from distilleries. She even had begun hosting tasting parties for family and friends and gin nights in bars and other venues.

Meanwhile, more than 5,000 people ended up applying for the role of "gintern."

But, while the competition for the gig would prove to be stiffer than a shot of too-strong Bombay Sapphire, Dinsdale said she knew from the start that the opportunity would be a perfect fit.

Here's an inside look at Dinsdale's journey to getting her dream internship, and how she's faring in the role so far:
