the best job in the world, and more

Posted by susan on February 11th, 2009. Filed under: go green.

I am sure most of you have heard of The Best Job in the World, a new campaign Queensland is doing in Australia. If you haven’t, the job is being the caretaker of The Great Barrier Reef. You get to live in Australia, in a baller house, travel the islands, blog about it, do some dirty work and then report to Tourism Queensland. To apply, just create a video, fill out an application and submit.

Need an example? Check out this awesome video by Gawky Green of Two Girls Go Green…

In other dream job news, thanks to a tip from Camels & Chocolates, Spain wants you to live there, for free! The Department of Education of the Regional Government of Castile-Leon is inviting native English speakers to work as teachers to pre-schoolers and elementary school students. VaughanTown is recruiting retired teachers or volunteers who are simply fun, good with kids and will instill a strong sense of the English language in the students. Unfortunately, you don’t get paid, but they cover all of your expenses.

I read about the job in Queensland immediately after getting back from Australia, and instantly wanted to apply! Sadly, I already have a job for the next two years that’s kind of binding…otherwise, I’d totally be in! hah

It’s a great campaign for Tourism Queensland. Craig Martin of Indie Travel Podcast has written about it both on his site, and some background on the competition over at mine, here: Why advertise the best job in the world?. Makes for interesting reading.

I agree, a great campaign that is getting a lot of attention, which can only be good for Queensland, right? I’ll be interested to see who wins this.
