In new dream job news, Cancun.com is hiring a new CEO to represent the vacation paradise of Cancun, Mexico as well as the nearby Riviera Maya and Yucatan Peninsula, but it’s not what you think. It's EASIER than you think! You don’t need an MBA or, quite honestly, any experience at all to qualify to be the next “Cancun Experience Officer.” As long as you have a valid passport and are at least 18 years old, you can apply.
So, what does the job entail?
In addition to living and working in Cancun for six months—all expenses paid—you’ll also make $10,000 per month in exchange for experiencing Cancun’s hotels and restaurants, participating in local volunteer opportunities and sharing it all on social media.
