I just happened to catch the "tail-end" of the show featuring the, "Best Job in the World Contest." That was a while ago. CONGRATULATIONS BEN!!! I just started a blog about work: ajabatwork.blogspot.com and needed some ideas about where to start. After racking my brain for a while, I typed, "Best Job in the World" in the URL, and was flabbergasted when it brought me to your site. I admit that I had kind of forgotten about this whole thing. I MEAN, HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? Then I noticed the ad for helpers! Awesome! Even I can write about that; A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS! I see that you’re on Twitter etc., which is why I'm surprised that I’m just now hearing about this. Anywho, I will do my part to get the word out. By the way, I am so glad that you mentioned how you had not been a big social-networking person... because that is one of the 1st things that I addressed on my blog, specifically, I had never been a networking kind of person. Now I'm building a blog!? So, if anyone who is reading this has time... please visit, ajabatwork.blogspot.com , answer some surveys, give your critique, and offer some advice. I could use all of the feedback/technical expertise that anyone has to offer. As you can see, Ben I too am becoming a social-networking convert. Who knew that it was ok to need others? Finally, I have a few questions for my blog. 1) Is the new contest for “Caretaker Helpers” open to US Citizens? 2) As caretaker, do you have any maintenance duties? 3) Is your role mostly tourist/real-estate/PR related? 4) How many other people live on the Island? 5) In what activities may people participate on the Island? 6) How do people get to & from the island? What airlines/airports are there? What other transport is there? 7) Is there a vibrant indigenous community there? Is there a condo/rental cottage/bed & breakfast-type tourist community there? 8) What environmental or other issues concern the local indigenous population? 9)What is your typical day there like? 10)What do you do during your free time / What interesting/unexpected things have happened since you took this job? Thanks. (By the way, don’t feel pressure to answer all of those. Just the ones that have ready answers, or those that interest you.)
