Application Process

Tourism Queensland announced an opening for The Best Job in the World, and is asking for applicants to submit a 60 seconds video of themselves. Check out http://www.islandreefjob.com to apply.

After I heard this story on CNN, I was fired up! I e-mailed my family telling them of my next job and went to work on reading every single thing I could find on the Great Barrier Reef and Queensland. I spent a week coming up with a script and trying to recruit friends to become official film-makers. I then spent a fun Sunday with a couple of friends playing with a tiny camera, and followed that up with countless hours of learning video editing. It was tiring but fun! I sure learned a lot about videos.

I finally submitted my application on February 10th and it was approved just now, on February 16. Yeehawww! What a great V-Day present.
