The Best Job in The World: Photo Shoot!

Yesterday morning, I took a cab heading to the Cavenagh Bridge in Singapore, bringing some of my dive gears with me. What was I up to?

Relax, guys... I wasn't going to jump in to the water or scuba-dive in the river there! :D LOL.
I went there for a photo shoot for Lianhe Zaobao, the largest Singapore-based Chinese daily newspaper. The publication was running a story on "The Best Job in The World" and was planning to feature the candidates from South East Asia.

So, that morning, I met two other candidates from Singapore: Greg and Jimmy. They're both fun people and we had such a great time during the photo sessions! Together with Dennis, the photographer, we tried to think of what would be the best pose for the newspaper! And.. here's the result.. check out the article that's published today! What d'ya think of the picture? Nice, eh? :D

Indonesian Media Finally Covered "The Best Job In The World"

Finally Indonesian media covered the campaign of "The Best Job in The World" by Tourism Queensland. I've been wondering all these past few weeks, the news on this campaign hasn't hit the national media in Indonesia yet, while the media in other countries has already covered it and still!

I decided to pitch the story to Detik.com and here's the result! Yayyy!!!

Detik.com, one of the main online news portals in Indonesia published two articles on "The Best Job in The World".
Please click here to read the articles:

1) "WNI Lolos Kontes The Best Job in The World di Australia"
2) "Pemenang The Best Job in The World dibayar Rp 1.2 Milyar"


And another article in VivaNews, titled "Kontestan Asal Indonesia Masuk 50 Besar" in which you can read it here.

Hopefully there will be more articles appear in other Indonesian media soon! :)

Help Me To Get THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD, Please!!!

INTERMEZZO!!!

"The Best Job in The World" is a program by Tourism Queensland to promote the Great Barrier Reef. It's such an interesting program, in which Tourism of Queensland will hire an island caretaker to experience living in Hamilton Island and traveling around the islands of the Great Barrier Reef for 6 months! What a job, huh? Not only that, the island caretaker has to write about the experiences and adventures on the blogs, photo diaries and videos! Wooohoooo... I loveeeee it!!!

A friend of mine, Jeff McCormack in Canada, sent me a message on my facebook about this wonderful job while I was in the middle of my holiday in Thailand. He said, "Nila... check this out. It's sooo you!"
When I opened the link, omigod! I got so excited! Flying back to Singapore for 3 days to take care a project there, I thought hard on how to create a video (everyone had to submit a profile video in less than 1 minute!) coz I had booked myself another trip to Cambodia!
How would I create a video when I was on holiday all alone?!!

Wanted to know what I did? I ran to a camera shop and bought myself a tripod. I thought, "I can do this!" So, there it goes... I flew to Cambodia and had an interesting holiday in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. Of course I had to spare sometime of my holiday to create a video for "The Best Job in The World!". And.. it wasn't easy! You know how those temples in Angkor area are always packed with tourists! I had to wait until there weren't too many tourists around or until those women selling drinks, scarfs, souvenirs, etc weren't yelling or screaming out loud, so that I could record the video. In some spots, there was no way to avoid the tourists. Heck. Then, I just shot it in front of them! Hahaha... (check out my video, when I was cleaning the temple, there were a lot of tourists watching and laughing at me! They must've thought I'm crazy! Lol)

Anyway, I submitted the video a few weeks ago. Last Thursday, 26th Feb, I got an email from the Tourism of Queensland saying that they're considering my video and I had to do an online psychometric test! Omigod... I couldn't sleep that night! I was so anxious, I even didn't go out on Friday and Saturday nights! :D

And guess what... this morning, I got an email from the Tourism Queensland again! The email said that I was chosen as one of the top 50 shortlisted applicants out of 34,000 applicants around the world!!! Whoaaaaaaaa... what a surprise!!! And... I'm the only Indonesian whose on the list of the top 50 applicants!



There's still a long way to go... after this, the Tourism Queensland will select 10 finalists plus 1 finalist who got the most votes to fly to Australia for the final interviews! So... please help me out to get this job! But wait.... how can you help?
