If you're passionate about tacos and travel, Yelp's new Taco Trailblazer role might just be your dream job.
To celebrate National Taco Day on October 4th, Yelp is hiring its first-ever Taco Trailblazer. This role consists of traveling across the country and tasting tacos at venues featured on the 'Yelp Taco Trail' – a Yelp-curated list of the top 100 taco spots in the U.S. The taco food tour will take place over the course of four months and the person chosen will be awarded $20,000 for their time. Of course, there is some work involved beyond just eating tacos. The role also requires that the person create three videos per month and write a total of three blog posts about their experience at each taco spot.
To apply for the role, submit a 30-60 second video explaining why you're the best person for the job to TacoTrailblazer.Yelp.com.
