If you're a college grad who relishes handling 27 feet of lean, mean wiener, Oscar Mayer's got a job for you ... driving across the country to spread the mustard good word.

The Chicago-based company's officially accepting applications for its 2020 class of Wienermobile drivers -- which it calls "Hotdoggers" -- to drive its iconic wheels all over the U.S. and serve as an Oscar Mayer brand ambassador.

The job post says OM is specifically looking for recent college grads whose idea of a "year well spent" is being behind the wheel of the famous vehicle.

They're only hiring 12 Hotdoggers for the 12-month, full-time position, who will represent the brand in radio and television appearances, grocery store events and charity functions.

Interested candidates have until the end of the month to submit their resume and cover letter for a chance to bring home that Oscar Mayer bacon. The job begins in June at Hot Dog High, a 2-week training session that includes picking a Hotdogger name, learning various hot dog puns ... and mastering parallel parking of the Weinermobile. Strictly between the buns, young'uns!

The job promises a competitive salary, benefits, paid expenses and the opportunity to be a “mini celebrity" in small towns and big cities across America.

Hot diggity dog!!!

I don't promote the brand (ie meat), so the answer is no, even though it might have been  to take a short cruise in the Weinermobile.

This came on the news last night when the kids were in the kitchen with me.  My 13 year old didn't think it would be a good job - too embarrassing to ride around in that car.  I've seen interviews with those that did have the job for the year and they said it was a great experience.  If I was younger I would apply.

Years ago the Weinermobile was at a local grocery store. I talked to the people that were driving the Weinermobile. They said they were having a blast. They handed out the Weiner whistles. 

They were so personable. And seemed to be enjoying themselves. They laughed that the Weinermobile was always noticed. So their every move seemed like it was being watched by someone. 

I bet it is a fun way to spend a year.

Not my kind of job. I would not do it. Probably does not pay enough.

I have a Weinermobile Whislte so I will just blow that. LOL!!!

I thought this was going to be about Anthony Weiner’s car.

I'm kind of wondering why they feel that having a college degree is necessary.  I don't think I would enjoy driving something that big and eye catching.
