Brisbane: Tourism
Australia's 'Best Jobs in the World' competition has attracted
interest from more than 330,000 people in 196 countries, with
40,000 entries to win one of the six dream jobs, media reported
Friday.
The largest number of applications came from the US, followed by
Britain, Italy, France, South Korea and Australia, according to
the Australian Associated Press (AAP).
The six positions include New South Wales' Chief Funster, South
Australia's Wildlife Caretaker, Queensland's Park Ranger, Western
Australia's Taste Master, Northern Territory's Outback Adventurer
and Victoria's Lifestyle Photographer, reported Xinhua.
Tourism Australia Managing Director Andrew McEvoy says the
competition has caught the world's attention.
"In a few months there's going to be six very, very happy people
getting a dream job offer and a life-changing opportunity to work
and play in our great country," he said in a statement.
Tourism Australia says the 25 best applications for each of the
six jobs will be announced April 24.
A final shortlist of 18 candidates (three candidates for each job)
will be flown to Australia for selection in June, with the six
winners to be officially announced June 21.
