Thirty candidates are chosen for interviews at Oscar Mayer headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin every year, and twelve people are chosen. Over 300 people have been Oscar Mayer Hotdoggers. According to "Saucy Spence" (a company spokesweiner), the lucky chosen Hotdoggers "attend a two-week "Hot Dog High" where they receive a gigantic binder with a ton of information". They learn how to deal with the public, the media, any protests they might encounter (I know, hard to believe, but not everyone loves hot dogs), what kind of behavior they're expected to exhibit when not on the job and so much more!
At the school, they spend a lot of time "practicing with cones while driving the Wienermobile. Backing up, weaving through them, parking-the basics." The company would not comment on rumors that the candidates are required to know all of the words to the song...
I have a cousin that was a Wienermobile driver back in the 70's. She had completed her AA at the local junior college and drove the Wienermobile for a year. That funded her getting a nursing degree.
