The Best Job In The World – ABC News

It’s probably the best job in the world, now that the Australian tourism bureau has finally selected somebody to live on an island and write about life as a beach bum.

The new hire will get to live in a fantastic house on a paradise island in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef for six months and get paid $110,000 to do it. The only requirement: write a weekly blog. That’s right, weekly, not even daily.

Within the first 48 hours of the contest, the tourism group received more than 7,500 online applications. In the end, 34,000 people applied. Each made a 60-second video resume. They were told to be creative and they were.

Sixteen finalists flew to Australia for the final, “grueling” selection. Let’s just say, it involved massages.

The job requirements are quite simple: The ability to speak English and swim.
