The legendary Wienermobile needs you. Oscar Mayer is on the hunt for its next crop of "Hotdoggers." If you don't know, that’s the term for the team members assigned to trek the iconic hot dog-shaped vehicle around the country.
Your mission, should you fit the requirements of Oscar Mayer, is to shuttle the Wienermobile around the country. Next year marks 90 years of the hot dog-on-wheels touring our nation, with this crop of new drivers being the 39th class of Hotdoggers.
So what does it take to become a Hotdogger? Oscar Mayer wants fresh college graduates. The pay isn’t much—the salary is just $35,600. But you also get a weekly allowance of $150, 100 percent coverage of your hotel expenses, full health benefits, and up to 18 days of paid time off.
Oh yeah, and you also get to drive the freaking Wienermobile around the country! The gig lasts for one full year and allows you to tour the "hot dog highways" of America.
The Wienermobile, of which there are apparently six full-size versions running around, is built atop a heavy-duty truck chassis. It runs 27 feet long and is typically operated by a pair of Hotdoggers. The duo is responsible not just for its operation but also for maintaining it while out on the road.
Oscar Mayer says thousands of applications flood in for this job. But just 12 applicants will 'cut the mustard.' Trust me, there’s no shortage of hot dog puns for a story like this—anything fits the bun here.
"There is no better way to jumpstart your career than behind the wheel of an American icon, and each year applicants go all out to get our attention—whether it be creating social media videos or mailing in creative scrapbooks and projects to our headquarters," said Molle Twing, Senior Brand Manager for Oscar Mayer and former Hotdogger. "That spirit and imagination perfectly captures what it means to be a Hotdogger."
"Whether you were in the first class of Hotdoggers or are looking to become part of this year’s, one thing remains true: this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to relish."
If you think you have what it takes to meat the challenge, you can apply for a Hotdogger position on the KraftHeinz website. If you do get selected, we’d love to 'ketchup' and chat with you about life on the road with the Wienermobile.
