A bit slow speed please; thank you.
More than 40 thousand people from around the globe have applied for Australia’s six “Best Jobs in the World”. The six-month jobs, which include “Outback Adventurer” and “Chief Funster”, attracted initial interest from more than 330 thousand people from nearly 200 countries. Applicants were asked to submit a 30-second video explaining why they would be good for the jobs, which come with a stipend of $105,400. The campaign was based on an initiative by authorities in Queensland State seeking an “island caretaker” on the world-famous Great Barrier Reef. That campaign attracted almost 35 thousand entries and was won by Briton Ben Southall. The eighteen finalists will be flown to Australia for interviews, with the six winners announced on June 21st. Queensland’s 2013 campaign sparked similar campaigns around the world.
