今天從 Yahoo News 看到的
這則『世界最好的工作』新聞,真是讓我心動不已呀!從來沒有這麼這麼羨慕一種 job 過!在像天堂一樣的地方工作就算了,工作項目竟是漫步白沙和潛泳岩礁灣,上電視做簡介?6 個月!以前很羨慕『世界真奇妙』的電視節目主持人,這個工作,感覺比那還好!
唉!余不諳水性(會游泳但不會潛水,不確定會不會海泳),只好放棄申請的機會,不然其他工作要求項目再怎麼樣不 qualify 也可亂掰一下,。。。。。。只要能夠飛去那邊面試已經是一種享受不是嗎?
新聞最後說,有人認為去讓一個陌生人管理該岛有風險,昆士蘭州旅遊部長開玩笑的說『我認為最大的風險將是成功的候選人在6個月結束時將不會想回家!』是喔,若是我,我要離開時一定會很捨不得。
澳洲一直是我夢想中的一個度假地。我望著窗外,大雪紛飛的景象,感嘆的大叫『啊。。。。。。,天堂岛,Hamilton Island,好想去呀!』
Australia offers 'best job in world' on paradise island

SYDNEY (AFP) – An Australian state is offering internationally what it calls "the best job in the world" -- earning a top salary for lazing around a beautiful tropical island for six months.
The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the winner's home country to Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland's state government announced on Tuesday.
In return, the "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, snorkel the reef, take care of "a few minor tasks" -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.
The successful applicant, who will stay rent-free in a three-bedroom beach home complete with plunge pool and golf buggy, must be a good swimmer, excellent communicator and be able to speak and write English.
"They'll also have to talk to media from time to time about what they're doing so they can't be too shy and they'll have to love the sea, the sun, the outdoors," said acting state Premier Paul Lucas.
"The fact that they will be paid to explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, snorkel and generally live the Queensland lifestyle makes this undoubtedly the best job in the world."
Lucas said the campaign was part of a drive to protect the state's 18 billion Australian dollar a year tourism industry during the tough economic climate caused by the global financial meltdown.
"Traditional tourism advertising just doesn't cut it sometimes and we are thinking outside the box by launching this campaign."
Queensland Tourism Minister Desley Boyle said some people might question whether it was risky to let an unknown person become an unofficial tourism spokesperson for the state.
"I think the biggest risk will be that the successful candidate won't want to go home at the end of the six months," she said.
"This is a legitimate job which is open to anyone and everyone."
Applications are open until February 22. Eleven shortlisted candidates will be flown to Hamilton Island in early May for the final selection process and the six month contract will commence on July 1.
Job-seekers can apply on.
