Wowzers, it’s been another crazy but incredibly exhilirating day! This morning began at 6:30am with a couple of phone interviews with CBC and CTV National. By 11am my inbox was flooded with e-mails both from comments as well as media requests. Unfortunately, because I didn’t check my e-mail until then, I missed out on a few great opportunities. I should’ve […]

The final few hours counting down to the announcement of the Top 50 were torturous! I kept clicking my ‘refresh’ for my inbox and every website that was covering the story. Did I get a new e-mail? Does anyone know yet? Has anyone been contacted?

You know how everyone has this place where they just have to go one day? For most people it’s Paris or Rome or maybe the North Pole. For me, it was Russia. I don’t know why, but when I was 15 and I heard Russian for the first time, that was it. I just had to go.

There are lots of things that rhyme with Chih, which is why I feel so lucky to be me.

I was reading the comments left on my application video through Youtube and I figured I should probably clarify a few things and answer a few questions.

My video application for the Best Job in the World has now been uploaded to the official website! HOORAY! I’ve been checking the website, islandreefjob youtube account, Tourism Queensland’s twitter account and facebook account constantly for the past week so I’m ridiculously excited that it’s finally up!

I was catching up on the discussion boards on the islandreefjob ning page when I came across the discussion about whether Tourism Queensland would hire an individual, couple or family for the job. I hadn’t even considered whether they would hire a family since the job posting was for one person and I haven’t seen any family applications. But then it got me wondering about the target market for tourism on the islands of the Great Barrier Reef.

Tourism Queensland has a twitter feed where updates about the position and how to apply are posted. They also have a youtube channel where you can view some promotional videos and see who else is watching. Personally, I would’ve chosen something like “islandreefjob” or “tourismqueensland” over “whereelsebutqld” as a name but whatevs.
