Krispy Kreme is appealing to both doughnut lovers and creative culinary enthusiasts with its latest job opportunity. The chain is searching for a “Chief Doughnut Dreamer” to join the innovation team at its headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. Sounds pretty — dare we say it — dreamy, doesn’t it?
The main job responsibility is to create the next great flavor for one of the biggest doughnut chains in the nation. But pump the breaks before you go submit your two weeks’ notice and put all your doughnut holes in Krispy Kreme’s basket. It’s not exactly a job with benefits and a salary you can pay your bills with.
Instead, Krispy Kreme intends to compensate its Chief Doughnut Dreamer with a year’s worth of free doughnuts. So, you’ll not only not be able to make ends meet in terms of a paycheck — you also might find yourself struggling to make the ends of your belt meet when the year is said and done. Still, free doughnuts are a pretty terrific perk, especially from an established icon like Krispy Kreme.
The doughnut giant isn’t the only business to offer mouthwatering, off-the-wall job opportunities, either. If you search in the right places, you just might land yourself a job as a Chief Pizza Officer or even a Chief Candy Officer. Fingers crossed at least one of those jobs comes with a dental plan.
Also just read! Krispy Kreme is taking applications for Chief Doughnut Dreamer. The salary and benefits suck — because there are none; it’s not a real job — but the fringe benefits of a year of free doughnuts, a visit to HQ, and input on a new flavor almost make up for it.
