I am sure you have heard about it - The Best Job in the World, to be Hamilton island caretaker for half a year and get a salary of AUD$150K.
So what do you do in these 6 months? Explore, dive, snorkel, bushwalking, feed the fish, upload photos, videos and blog about your experiences and encounters! All for a handsome salary of $150K! Gosh, how good can that get?!! No wonder people just swamped to try their luck.
This is such an ingenious idea, for the focus is not about hiring a caretaker, but to promote Hamilton as a first-class holiday escapade to the world. It has certainly achieved its purpose! Just looking at the number of applicants, news coverage and the stir it has caused tell more than a thousand words.
The 50 short-listed applicants have just been recently announced, and I was really curious to view their 1-minute videos. I must say, after watching many of them, some of them are really creative, out of the box and well done. My personal favourites are videos from Julia (Russia), Greg (Singapore) and some others which I cannot quite recall now (watched too many, could not recall who is who!).
Take a look at some of the videos: http://www.islandreefjob.com/#/shortlisted-applicants
