“Position: Surveyor; Salary: $200 per hour (tax free), Qualification: Must be fast on his/her feet.”

This is the latest job-offering opportunity touring the internet at the moment. It comes with a set of motivating photos, and ends with the alluring catchphrase:

“Isn’t it comforting to know that, when you are about to become a bear’s breakfast, your buddy is standing right there taking photos?”

The series of the photos depict the tricky chase of a man by a polar bear around a car. Based on a true incident and inspired by the enormously successful “Best Job in the World” concept by Tourism Queensland, it implies the more bitter choices that we – apart from the lucky Caretaker of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef – usually face in our job hunting endeavors.

Creating an anti-ad-campaign is not new in the marketing world; but who said marketers had all the good fun ideas?

PEEK-a-BOO! A shocked motorist returns to his car – to find a huge POLAR BEAR leaning on his bonnet. With nowhere to run to and no time to unlock his door, the terrified driver tried to duck out of sight. But as soon as he peeped over the roof he saw the bear staring BACK. (thesun)
