世界上最享受的工作

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 rent-free in a multi-million-dollar three-bedroom 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， snorkel 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.

一份“世界上最好的工作”的招聘廣告一經(jīng)發(fā)布——在天堂般的島上休閑6個(gè)月還能掙到高薪——立刻引發(fā)了全球的點(diǎn)擊熱潮，導(dǎo)致發(fā)布該廣告的一家澳大利亞網(wǎng)站癱瘓。

此項(xiàng)工作為應(yīng)聘成功者支付半年15萬澳元（約合10萬美元）的高薪，還將免費(fèi)為此人提供從其所在國到著名的大堡礁熱帶海域的漢密爾頓島的往返機(jī)票。

而此人的工作任務(wù)就是盡情享受——沐日光浴，游泳，潛水和出海航行——并通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)周記、相片日志和視頻更新的方式，向全球觀眾報(bào)告自己的經(jīng)歷。

應(yīng)聘成功者還將免費(fèi)住進(jìn)一套價(jià)值好幾百萬的三居室海濱別墅——但是應(yīng)聘者必須年滿18歲，具有“極出色、極有魅力的”溝通技巧和英語讀寫能力。

據(jù)該國官員稱，在全球低迷的經(jīng)濟(jì)環(huán)境下，他們想推動(dòng)澳大利亞東北部這個(gè)州每年收入達(dá)180億美元的旅游業(yè)，而此舉正是其中關(guān)鍵一環(huán)。他們還一再強(qiáng)調(diào)“招聘絕非戲言”。

澳大利亞昆士蘭州代理總理保羅·盧卡斯說，應(yīng)聘成功者“也需要不時(shí)地接受媒體的采訪，談?wù)勛约涸谧鲂┦裁础Ｒ虼耍麄儾荒芴π撸獰釔鄞蠛！㈥柟夂蛻敉膺\(yùn)動(dòng)”。

他還說：“應(yīng)聘成功者能拿著工資在大堡礁諸島探索奧秘、游泳、潛水、享受昆士蘭的生活方式，這使它毫無疑問地成為世界上最好的工作。”

網(wǎng)站癱瘓以前，已經(jīng)有350多個(gè)應(yīng)聘者提交了申請，他們來自英國、美國、克羅地亞、土耳其、意大利、德國、加拿大、荷蘭和葡萄牙等國家。

應(yīng)聘者需要在網(wǎng)上提交一段時(shí)長不超過一分鐘的英語視頻申請，說明自己為何能勝任這份工作。

其中一位應(yīng)聘者通過電子郵件用六種不同的語言提交了申請。據(jù)說，還有一些應(yīng)聘者甚至前往華盛頓的澳大利亞駐美大使館親自遞交了申請書。
