Entenmann’s Takes Applications For Sweetest Gig Ever

If you just can’t get enough Entenmann’s doughnuts, sweet rewards could be coming your way. The classic pastry company, which sells its products in grocery stores nationwide, is soliciting applications for the honorary position of Chief Donut Officer, which comes with a year’s worth of doughnuts.

If that’s not enough incentive, the Chief Donut Officer also gets a payday — $5,000 — and $1,000 worth of Entenmann’s swag. It doesn’t come with a treadmill, but you’ll be so busy running around spreading joy about Entenmann's products that the extra calories won’t matter much.

The biggest qualifications? You must love Entenmann’s products and have dreamy ideas about how to promote them. If you’re interested, be prepared to answer some hard-hitting questions. You’ll be judged on creativity, originality and passion. For example:

“How/where do you enjoy eating your favorite Entenmann’s donut?”

“How would you make Entenmann’s donuts even better?”

“If you could pick the next flavor of Entenmann’s donuts, what would it be?”

Entenmann’s announced the contest in celebration of National Doughnut Day, which is observed every year on the first Friday in June. This year, that’s June 1.

If you’re interested, apply online. The first phase of the contest closes on June 30 with the selection of five finalists, who will be asked to make their final pitches in video testimonials that will be judged by consumers. The Chief Donut Officer will be announced on Aug. 7.

The four non-winning finalists will each receive $1,000 and a year’s worth of doughnuts.
