Huge global interest in " the best job in the world"―earning good money for lazing on a paradise island for 6 months―has crashed the Australian website where it is advertised.
The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (about 100,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the successful candidate's home country to tropical Hamilton Island on the famed Great Barrier Reef.
In return,the winner will be expected to have as much fun as he or she can―soaking up the sun,swimming,snorkeling,sailing―and report to a global audience via weekly blogs photo diaries and video updates.
The successful candidate―who will stay rentfree in a multi-million-dollar threebedroom beach home―must be over 18 ,a " fantastic and charismatic" communicator,and able to speak and write English.
The campaign is a key element in a drive to promote the northeastern Australian state's 18 billion dollar a year tourism industry during the tough global economic climate,officials say,and they are at pains to stress that it is "a real job".
The successful applicant will " 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,snor?kel and generally live the Queensland lifestyle makes this undoubtedly the best job in the world.
More than 350 applications had been submitted before the website crashed―from Britain,the United States,Croatia,Turkey,Italy,Germany,Canada,Netherlands and Portugal among other countries.
Candidates are required to create a video application in English of up to one minute explaining why they are uniquely qualified for the job.
One applicant had submitted his application via email in six different language and some candidates had reportedly visited the Australian Embassy in Washington with applications in hand.
