UW-L grad lands job driving Oscar Mayer weinermobile

Klein will drive giant hot dog
around country promoting brand

Oscar Mayer and the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse now have a connection.

UW-L graduate Molle Klein likes to say she cut the mustard. The marketing major was one of a dozen recent college graduates across the nation from about 1,500 to become a brand ambassador for Oscar Mayer.

Klein says she has time to come up with clever puns related to her position while driving across the southeast region of the country in a 27-foot-long hot dog on wheels.

She says driving the Wienermobile is the best job out of college because of the variety of people and small-town America she is able to experience.

Oscar Mayer recruits most of its “hot-doggers” from four U.S. universities with large communication programs. 

Klein heard about the opportunity from a friend and applied online. She then travelled to Madison for a two-day interview, and nailed down the job.
