Help us win The Best Job in the World

February 19th, 2009 · 35 Comments

We need your help!!!

Zoë and I have entered a competition to win a six-month paid adventure in Queensland, Australia. The winner of the job would be responsible for feeding the fish, collecting the mail and making a weekly video blog. They would also be living in a 3 bedroom house in paradise.

But wait, there’s more….

YOU could come and visit us there!!!!!!

We worked very hard writing, filming and editing two video submissions, and now the public must help the judges decide. We are asking you to click on the two links below, view the videos, and vote.

Act now! This offer won’t last…

We only have a couple of days left, so your help is crucial. We’d also love you to pass this email on to all your friends and families. Please. We are shameless!

Those videos definitely deserve five stars, so that’s what I gave them.

I just watched some of the videos from other applicants and yours are far and away the best.

Australia is just a hop, skip and a jump from China where I am currently located. So if you win, get ready for 1 sexy Israeli visitor.

Best of luck, I’m sure my 5 star contribution will get you there.
