Psychometric testing next on list for reef job finalists

Jetlagged, stressed and swamped by media, the finalists for the "Best Job in the World Contest" still managed to "sing the praises of the natural wonder in a series of online blogs" ... as if they could put out a series of printed blogs on short notice.

The competition finalists are in the midst of a three-day job interview of sorts on Hamilton Island in Queensland, with the winner emerging richer and set for the next six months.

What comes up next? Psychometric testing.

The finalists have been watched by a four-judge panel since they hit the ground on Hamilton Island, not to mention camera crews, photographers and journalists from all over the world. One candidate, Greg Ryan, likened the media attention to a "cameraman firing squad."

In a mere 14 hours, the deed will be done.
