Island Reef Job - My quest for the best job in the world

It became a sensational news on how Queensland Tourism Australia advertised a prospect job in one of the world heritage sites, The Great Barrier Reef - to be the caretaker of the one of the islands of this marine system.

While reading the post in the internet, it seems the requirements for the application is easy and manageable to comply. I immediately decided to prepare my one-minute video clip showcasing my qualification for the job! As the days passed, contemplating my decision to apply and what things to be put into the video that interest Queensland Tourism to be shortlisted or eventually hire me for six months, Im a little bit worried on the screening process for physical and psychological tests which entails rigorous group activities. Well, I think this as soon as I already shortlisted in May.

Finally, I came up an idea and edited the video containing vital information about myself. It is simple and I like it... It was fun doing it in a serious quest for the best job in the world.

Watch the clip and support my quest for this rare opportunity to be home again - like the place where I was born - fresh air, white sand, clean water and the place where the sun and the ocean meet every day.




Honestly, this is not my dream job or the ultimate work of a lifetime, but Im sure this ultimately he job that will change my life - for a better and responsible islandeer!


If you are interested to apply, then hurry up and click the link, IslandReefJob before 22nd February but the deadline might be shortened due to numerous responses.

Good luck with the job!! :)

I came across this too, on facebook - at first I thought it was a joke!! :)

Well, for the video, maybe it would be better to show you in nature or such, doing island-related things? just a thought...?

Goog luck with the dream job anyway!! :)

Hello, thanks for the comments. Yes of course it is nice to have a nature setting but my concept is to show to them that a simple food chain worker has the passion to be island caretakeer. Im an islandeer and I know how to live on this place. So, most of the people showed their travelling experience because they dont have the chance to have it in their home country. Mine, is really living in an island in the Philippines is just an ordinary thing. My parents house is just 200 meters away from the beach in one of the islands of the Philippines. Anyway, hope they will consider me, seriously. Thanks. Rey

Hey!

I thought your video was good... it was a nice advertisement for Colonel Sanders too... but you did a great job just doing it and explaining why you'll be great for the job.

Much success to you!

Warmest,
