The 'Best Job In The World' Is Available (Again)

australiaTourism Australia has done it again, offering up their "Best Job In The World" campaign for yet another year. The organization has teamed up with industry and State and Territory tourism partners to offer six jobs with a yearly salary package of $100,000 Australian dollars, including living costs.

The campaign will target travellers between 18 and 30 years of age in Australia and overseas, with particular focus on international markets eligible for Australian working holiday visas, including the UK and Ireland, the US and Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.

The six "Best Jobs in the World" each come with an attractive six-month salary package worth A$100,000 including living costs. The positions are:

* Chief Funster (New South Wales)
* Outback Adventurer (Northern Territory)
* Park Ranger (Queensland)
* Wildlife Caretaker (South Australia)
* Lifestyle Photographer (Melbourne)
* Taste Master (Western Australia)

Tourism Australia Managing Director Andrew McEvoy said the competition was expected to appeal to youth travelers' sense of fun and adventure. "The youth market contributes more than a quarter of all Australia's international arrivals. These are visitors who tend to stay longer, disperse widely and often come back again, with their families, later in their lives. For many young people, Australia's working holiday visa programs provide the economic means to fund travel plans, and this is at the heart of our new campaign," he said in a release.

Entering is pretty simple – just upload a 30-second video resume before April 10. Best of luck!
