Meat your new dream job: Oscar Mayer will pay Weinermobile drivers to tour US


No weenies allowed.

As the US economy continues to sizzle with thousands of new job openings this month, one prestigious new opportunity is going a-bun and beyond.

Hot dog maker Oscar Mayer is recruiting a dozen drivers to take the beloved, 27-foot-long Wienermobile on several cross country, promotional journies so that Americans from coast to coast can relish in its joy.

It pays about $35,600 annually with a weekly $150 stipend. Successful candidates, formally known as hot doggers, will be evaluated following a one-year assessment from their best and wurst moments after taking the roll in June.

“It’s like they’re running a PR firm on wheels,” Ed Roland, who is in charge of the Wienermobile program told CNBC, comparing the hot (dog) rod to like life in an RV.

“They’re key content contributors to all of our social media channels. It’s some of the highest performing content for all of [parent company] Kraft Heinz.”

The job description is very frank. Oscar Mayer is searching for those with a bachelor’s degree and media relations experience to manage their fleet of six parallel porkers — workers are assigned out in pairs — to host pop-up events across the nation.

There have been years with 7,000 applicants — social media skills are strongly preferred — for the few spots on the grill.

A strong driving record along with a willingness to travel 20,000 miles across 40 cities is also necessary as is appearing on local broadcast outlets. Hotels and other condiment costs are covered.

“The Hotdogger Program was designed to hire and develop top-talent, grow future leaders of the company, and create gamechangers, innovators, and cultural champions,” according to the job description.

The Oscar Mayer gig opening comes a few months after the company tried changing the 87-year-old Wienermobile’s name to the Frankmobile.

It was met with raw reaction and reverted back to the original recipe last September.
