Great Barrier Reef island caretaker

I remember reading an article on the radio about the Barrier Reef caretaker job thinking how great it would be if i were to apply. Me, CK in Australia's tropical island paradise, the sand in my feet, surfing the waves, fine dining, scuba diving, sailing the Great Barrier Reef to picking up the mail all for a $150,000 salary! It is truly indeed the best job in the world. The application process doesn't really demand much, just a minute video explaining why you would be great for the job. Advertised as the "Great Barrier Reef island caretaker" the role includes cleaning the pool, collecting the mail and feeding the fish in exchange for free luxury accommodation on Hamilton Island and a $150,000 six month position. Steven, the guy in the video, popped into the studio one night after hearing his favourite NERD tune on the radio, told me he heard about the job from his mother and decided to why-not-give-it-a-go. I have smacked his job application video with 5 stars.
This is where you can view Steven's video and rate it 5 stars! But it looks like Steven is up for some stiff competition with one of the world's wanted man. How oh How can you ever defeat a man who is "outgoing", "familiar with sandy areas", experience with videos and delegating tasks? But really there is nothing for Steven to worry about. Best of Luck!

Hi there Senor Pablo!
Just read about it on your blog. Heehee.
I hope he gets to go for the actual selection process at the reef. If he ever needs some assistant, I'm available for cleaning, picking up the mail and feeding the fish. Visit me too!
