No island job for me!

The first round of candidates were announced today, and the top 50 short-listed candidates for the "Best Job On Earth" are now posted online.

When I heard that I didn't make the cut, well, I have to say that I was (really) disappointed. I saw this job as a fantastic opportunity, sort of like winning employment lottery. But at least, I can say that I gave it a shot, and I'm proud of that.

I've watched some of the videos from the final candidates, and they are really good. Some of these people have done incredible things, have amazing skills and really deserve to have made it past the first round of selections. I am also happy that 7 Canadians have made it through - and yes, one even made a musical (and it's fantastic). Now I just have to decide who I'll give my vote to!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to view my video, vote, read my blog or send in kind words. I was really amazed with all of your support and was really pleased to have gathered over 400 views. You are all incredible!
