World's Best Job! I don't qualify... :(
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090113/od
According to this article, the selected person can earn Aus$150,000 (US$105,000) in six months by:
* Being flown to Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
* Strolling the white sands
* snorkelling the reef
* taking care of "a few minor tasks", and
* reporting to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.
Qualifications - Applicant must be:
* a good swimmer,
* an excellent communicator
* able to speak and write English
* willing to talk to the media about what they're doing
* someone who loves sea, the sun, and the outdoors
Apart from the salary, the successful applicant gets:
* Free return flight from their home to Hamilton Island
* Free lodging in a three-bedroom beach home complete with plunge pool and golf buggy
Unfortunately, while I am a fairly good communicator and I speak and write English well (if I do say so myself... ^^; ), I can't swim, I don't like media exposure, I burn fairly easily, and, for someone who is going to be a spokesperson for Australian tourism, I'm not good-looking. A pity, because six months alone on an island sounds liks something I would try...
Interested? Apply at http://www.islandreefjob.com/en/ before 22 February. (The URL doesn't work right now... a portent of things to come? ^^; )
