090 - Win the best job in the world

The "best job in the world" or the "island reef job" is a position being offered by Tourism Queensland. The successful applicant will be flown to Australia and given the use of a three-bedroom house on the Whitsunday Islands. Over the next six months you will maintain a blog, work with photos, video and audio to share the offerings of the Great Barrier Reef with the world. For your trouble you'll take home AUD$150,000 -- about US$96,000.

I think you can see why it's being touted as the best job in the world.

Competition is tough though. As we publish this over 10,500 applications have been made by video upload to the official site. There's still sixteen days to go before the cut-off date. In this podcast we speak to Nicole McNaughton, the PR manager for the project. She talks us through the position and we squeeze some advice for potential applicants out of her.

We want to wish our interviewees and you, our listeners, all the best with your application for the best job in the world. Good luck...and make sure you let us interview you when you're all big and famous!
