It helps to have connections when you're applying for a job and President Obama definitely has connections over at Spotify. At a recent dinner featuring Ambassadors from all over the world, President Obama told the wife of the former US Ambassador to Sweden “I'm still waiting for my job at Spotify… Cuz' I know y'all loved my playlist.” This makes sense considering Spotify is a Swedish country.
It also helps when applying for a position to have experience and President Obama definitely has experience making playlists. In 2015, he made his first two playlists for Spotify with an awesome Summer day and Summer night playlist that's a joy to listen to even when there's snow on the ground. Since then, the President also made a 2016 version of his Summer playlist along with a special Holidays playlist. Check out his first ever playlist for Spotify below.
When the position became available, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek actually tweeted out to the President making sure he knew that he wouldn't have to stay unemployed very long after he finishes his Presidency.
