Have you ever seen a 27-foot-long hot dog driving down the road and thought, "Man, I'd love to drive that?" Well, this could be your chance!
Oscar Mayer is searching for their 36th class of Hotdoggers—12 recent college graduates who are ready to hit the road for a year-long, full-time contract as a brand spokesperson.
Job responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, regular travel and fleet maintenance, custom content creation, and attending "buns and buns" of IRL events, where you'll hand out over a quarter of a million Wiener Whistles and offer rides in the Wienermobile to its adoring fans—including celebs! Each Hotdogger racks up an average of 20,000 miles and 20 states by the end of their tenure, and will walk away with their own punny nickname (hello, “Ketchup Kaitlyn” and “Chaddar Cheese").
“The Wienermobile is an American icon and one of our brand’s most prized assets, making the Hotdogger role an extremely important job,” said Ed Roland, Sr. Manager Brand Communications for Oscar Mayer at The Kraft Heinz Company, in a press release shared directly with Parade.
“From traveling to events across the U.S. to regularly speaking with consumers and media on behalf of the brand, Hotdoggers operate as a marketing firm on wheels, providing invaluable experience to recent graduates, while continuing our mission of uniting millions around a love of meat,” Roland said in the official statement.
If you think you've got what it takes, applications will be accepted through Jan. 31 and must include a resume and cover letter. Candidates must be a recent college graduate with a Bachelor's degree, preferably in public relations, journalism, communications or marketing. They must also be "outgoing, friendly and compassionate, with strong communication skills," and, of course, a love of hot dog puns is highly preferred. You must also have a valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
You'll be up against some stiff competition; less than one percent of applicants are selected—which, according to the brand, makes it more difficult to get into than the Ivy Leagues.
