Jeff Actually Applies for a Job!

The Tourism Authority of Queensland Australia is taking applications for what is essentially an on-location 'video/still/text blogger position' to promote the Great Barrier Reef. The term of the contract is six months. Remuneration is USD$105,000.00. The money is fine, but the juice I get from this opportunity is more critically honing my story/composition/delivery skills.

In part, the application requires a :60-second video featuring the applicant espousing their knowledge of the reef and why the applicant is competent for the position.

I am on it.

Very early Saturday morning Chean Long and I will make the half-day drive to the beaches of Cambodia for a backdrop for my prepared :60-second video.

Anyone of course can apply, but the web site has been so inundated, the ISP is currently down from the apparent tsunami of applicants.

After we finish our shoot, next week we will edit and share here our results. The application deadline is mid-February. The job begins in July.

Hired or not, what fun.
