Ben Southall is the caretaker of a
tropical island. His job involves swimming, relaxing, making friends
with the local people, exploring other islands and having a good
time.
He also has to write a blog and take
photos and videos of the island to show the world what a wonderful
place it is. It's a full-time job, but he can turn up for work when
he wants to and choose to have a break any time he feels tired. He
earns a monthly salary of £12,500 - twelve times more than the UK
minimum wage. His free beach home has three bedrooms, a private pool
and wonderful views. And when he needs to get around the island he
has an electric golf buggy. It's a dream job except for one thing. It
isn't permanent. Ben's contract is only for six months.
2 The job was the prize in a
competition that Ben's employers, Tourism Queensland, organised to
attract tourists to the Great Barrier Reef. Ben's new home, Hamilton
Island, is in the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland, northeastern
Australia. It is a beautiful island very near the Great Barrier Reef
Marine Park. It also has the largest airport in the area and frequent
ferries to the mainland. So it is the perfect place for tourists to
stay when they want to visit the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
It's a dream job except for one thing.
It isn't permanent.
3 To get the job Ben had to win a
competition with almost 35,000 applicants from over 200 countries. In
his application video he said he loved travelling and adventure and
enjoyed talking to people. He included pictures of himself trekking
in Africa, riding an ostrich, bungee jumping, scuba diving and
kissing a giraffe. The job interview for the sixteen finalists in the
competition took place on the island and lasted for four days. They
had to answer questions and show they could snorkel, swim, organise
barbecues and write entertaining blogs. Ben managed to impress the
organisers with his imagination, his energy, his ability to deal with
difficult situations and his love for Queensland.
4 Ben, who is thirty-four years old and
comes from Hampshire in the UK, used to work as a tour guide in
Africa and as a charity worker. He is, of course, delighted that he
won the competition and is absolutely certain that he has the best
job in the world. However, Ben is not the only winner. The
competition cost Tourism Queensland 1.7 million Australian dollars to
organise. But the publicity it brought to the region was worth over
110 million Australian dollars!
