California Burger Chain, Farmer Boys, Searching For 'Bacon Intern' To Try New Products On Instagram

A California fast food chain is now hiring for a “bacon intern” to help test new bacon products.

The new “job” offer comes from California burger chain Farmer Boys, who is looking for an intern that can help test a series of new bacon products. The intern will receive $1,000 for a day of work trying the new bacon-infused foods before they are made widely available.

However, rather than a traditional job search through applications and resumes, Farmer Boys is treating it as a contest to find the perfect bacon lover to intern.

“At Farmer Boys, we’re firm believers in customer feedback and listening to our guests, and we felt that hiring our first ever Bacon Intern would add another layer to that philosophy and help make our food as pork-tacular as it can be,” Farmer Boys Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Larry Rusinko said on the chain’s website. “In addition to taste-testing some of our most popular existing menu items, we also plan to have the Bacon Intern try some of the exciting items we’re currently developing.”

Farmer Boys opened up applications for the position on Tuesday and will be accepting until August 20th through Instagram. They are looking for applicants to post “a fun and engaging photo or video on their personal Instagram account explaining why they would be the best Bacon Intern for Farmer Boys.”

Farmer Boys will announce their one-day intern on their own Instagram on August 27.
