Being an NBA mascot looks like a lot of fun, but one can assume that there’s a lot of downtime between games. When looking for ways to fill the between-season off-time, a seasonal job might be just the ticket for anyone looking to supplement their income, including the team mascot of the Memphis Grizzlies.

FedEx is raising awareness around its drive to staff up for the upcoming holiday season by showing a comical scenario in which beloved Memphis Grizzlies mascot Grizz goes on a job interview with the company.
