What’s “The Best Job in the World?” Tourism Queensland has discovered an innovative way to attract quality job applicants: offer them a ridiculous amount of money to live on a gorgeous island—and blog about it. No, nobody is kidding. This ‘Best Job in the World’ offer, which is garnering international attention, is for the position of “Island Caretaker.” The successful applicant will take care of a few odd jobs around their rent-free three bedroom beach home, take in the activities offered on Hamilton Beach, and visit spas. Not to mention occasionally speaking with the media in addition to weekly blog posts. 

Applicants from all over the world are lining up to submit their videos (all applications must be accompanied by a video), and the applicant must be a strong swimmer, and have an affinity for Australia. 

Did I mention Tourism Queensland will pay for the flight and cut a check for $150,000 Australian (that’s about $105,000 USD) for whoever lands the Best Job in the World?

I think I just heard destiny knock!

The Caretaker of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef is a newly created position. There are a few minor tasks that need to be taken care of, but the most important duty is to report back to Tourism Queensland (and the world) and let us know what’s taking place on the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef.

Of course, once I get this job I'll have to write Aussie inspired trends while there!

I love your optimistic outlook, Jen! If you're serious, I really hope you get this job. :-) Too many poisonous critters in Australia for me to be lured in, lol.

I am dead serious! I've been hunting for a job for a while now and this seems too good not to apply for. The only thing that I might find a little intimidating are the Great Whites, and that's only because I watched Open Water the other day (haha), but even then...still worth it.

@Jennifer: you know, it's only US $103,000, right? :)

Well, it'll be tough, but I think I could make it. Besides, that much would pay off my student loans, buy me a new car (mine's almost kaput) and secure my reputation in the writing world. What's the extra fifty grand really?
