For this official ‘Gas Station Hoagie Hunter’ role, the car rental company is looking for a “passionate gas station food connoisseur”.
Applicants must have strong opinions when it comes to sandwiches, and “smile at the idea of turning a roadside pit stop into a five-star culinary adventure.”
Sixt said: “Are you the type of road-tripper who enjoys the journey and discovering hidden gems along the way?

“We have the perfect job for you! Get ready to hop in your car for the adventure of a lifetime.”
The lucky applicant will have to venture to the 100 top rated Wawa, QuikTrip, or Weigel’s stations across the US, to find out which one sells the best Gobbler Hoagie.
The Hoagie Hunter will be asked to rate the sandwiches based on a variety of factors such as preparation speed, filling quality, bread quality, customer service and overall deliciousness.
They will also be asked to assess the following criteria at the gas station: Atmosphere, menu size, value for money, average wait time and overall amenities.
The Hoagie Hunter will be given $2500 for the role, as well as a $500 gas station gift card.
Travel expenses will not be covered, and you must agree to submit feedback within 14 days of gas station visits.
The only official criteria that the Hoagie Hunter has to meet is that they have to be over 18 years old and live in the United States (excluding Hawaii and Alaska).
To apply, simply submit a personal statement on why you would be perfect for the role to sixthoagiehunter@riseatseven.com.
Just one person will be chosen for the job, so make sure to sell yourself as the ultimate sandwich lover in the application.
However, applications close on December 6th, so those interested better get their applications in quick.
Side hustles and tax implications
Extra income you make from side hustles may need to be reported to the IRS.
If you receive more than $600 in gross payouts from a selling platform like eBay, the site will issue you a Form 1099-K to use in your tax return.
Individuals should calculate their adjusted gross income, taxable earnings, and deductions for the year.
Once they have that, they can use the 1040-ES form to calculate estimated taxes.
