Hello Andy,
We actually take the “Inner Bean”quite seriously. We get a lot of requests from people about the job, but our screening process is tough. Because of the constant interaction with children we do background checks and/or reference checks. Beans must also practice choreography and complete media training. Athletes and actors are usually the people that make it as a Bean.
This said, I do not think that we would want to take the chance of a slip-up by having someone be the Bean for a day. You are welcome to tag along at one of the many events the Bean participates in, and craft a story from that experience. The Bean’s schedule is posted on his website, but feel free to call me with any further questions or concerns.
Thank you for your interest in Boston’s new Goodwill Ambassador!
