JetWit is not making this job listing up.<\/p>\n

The Australian Ministry of Tourism is willing to pay someone $100,000 to spend 6 months relaxing and enjoying some island in the Pacific and blogging about it.<\/p>\n

Here’s the article from the NYTimes\/Associated Press:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/01\/15\/world\/asia\/15australia.html?emc=eta1<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the job listing website:\u00a0 http:\/\/islandreefjob.com\/<\/a> For those interested, deadline is Feb. 22 and requires submission of a 60-second video among other things.<\/p>\n

It sounds too good to be true, so my guess is that the $100G pays for itself via the publicity this generates for the island as a tourist destination.<\/p>\n

If any JET alums out there apply for it, let me know or post a comment so we can hear about the process (and perhaps eventually the job itself!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
