Want to be a CEO? Cancun.com is looking for one, with no experience required

CANCUN — So you just graduated from college, you have absolutely no work experience and you’ve got a mountain of student loans to pay back. What do you do now?

Apply to be a CEO, naturally.

In what many college graduates will think is too good to be true, Cancun.com – a one-stop shop for vacation options in Cancun and Riviera Maya – has launched a search to find a Cancun Experience Officer (CEO) to be the face of the brand and newly launched website. The job search marks the beginning of a joint venture between Best Day Travel Group and TravelPass Group, who together operate Cancun.com, among other websites.

So what are the key job requirements? The lucky candidate must be social media savvy and spend six months in Cancun, from March to August 2018, without interruptions. During that time, he or she will have to generate videos, social media content and blog posts for the website, sleep in luxurious beds overlooking the beach, sip ice-cold beverages, tee off 22 yards down an ocean fairway, and mingle with locals at a VIP table in the hottest clubs. Oh, and don’t forget scale 3,000-year-old pyramids and swim with a 40,000-pound whale shark.

Oh, the injustice of it all!

But not to worry, all this ‘hard work’ will pay handsomely – US$10,000 a month, to be exact. Plus, all housing costs will be covered by Cancun.com.

“We can’t wait to get started on our search for a CEO to be the face and personality of Cancun. Getting paid to live and travel around Mexico is a once in a lifetime experience,” said Chad Meyerson, general manager at Cancun.com. “It’s truly one of the most remarkable travel destinations, and we want to make sure we find the right person to help us show the rest of the world everything Cancun has to offer, from the culture and community to its beautiful hotels and pristine beaches.”

Applicants are asked to create a one-minute video describing why they would make the best CEO, and how they would highlight the offerings of Cancun. Applicants must be 18 years or older, have a valid passport and be able to live in Cancun for the six-month duration of the position. Fun loving, social media savvy travelers who can’t wait to try new things are encouraged to apply at ceo.cancun.com. Additional details on application rules and regulations can be found at ceo.cancun.com/terms-and-conditions.

The top 100 applicants will be contacted in December with their next mission, and then the top 50 applicants will be announced on Jan. 4, 2018. The top five finalists will be announced on Jan. 17, and will travel to Cancun for the final selection process. The winner will be chosen and announced on Jan. 31.

Applications are being accepted until Dec. 17, 2017.
