Although it’s not necessarily a requirement to be magicians in guzzling booze, applicants must be 21 years old and legally allowed to work in the country during the time of the internship.
Once accepted, interns are expected to document their travels by publishing blogs, taking photos and uploading content on Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook, and filming their trips. As a bonus, all travel costs will be paid and all interns will walk away with $12,000 (P603,500) after the four-month internship.
Interested “drunks” are also expected to produce a one-minute clip elaborating why WOB should handpick them for the heavenly internship. The pool of applicants who qualify for the next round will be invited to selected locations in the US for a series of interviews. From there, the three lucky travelers will be chosen.
