\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well of course you knew with Monday being the last day for voting, that this week\u2019s blog from me just might mention \u2018The Best Job Around the World\u2019<\/strong> competition being offered by travel company, Jauntaroo<\/strong>.\u00a0 I\u2019m actually sending this from the road as I\u2019m on a \u2018Boy\u2019s Birthday Bash\u2019<\/strong> for a friend, which includes Las Vegas<\/strong> (I\u2019ve been reminded several times about that \u2018What goes on in Vegas . . .\u2019 thing, so I\u2019ve probably already said too much) and playing golf at two classic golf courses, Wolf Creek<\/strong> in Mesquite, NV and Sand Hallow<\/strong> in Hurricane, UT.<\/p>\n On Monday, I\u2019ll be an easy golfer to identify, I\u2019ll be the one with my laptop in my golf cart and running off the green after each putt to see where the \u2018Like\u2019 count is.\u00a0 For those who have been asking, and for those who haven\u2019t, here\u2019s what will happen with the Jauntaroo<\/strong> job thing after Monday . . .<\/p>\n A. Jauntaroo<\/strong> will select the Top 50 candidates based on (not necessarily in this order):<\/p>\n 1) Qualification of the candidate<\/p>\n 2. Quality of their video<\/p>\n 3. Number of video \u2018Likes\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n B. The Top 50<\/strong> candidates will be asked to make another video.\u00a0 It has not been disclosed what the subject matter of the second video will be or whether it will be something that the public votes on again.<\/p>\n C. From the Top 50, a ‘Top 5\u2019<\/strong> will be selected and flown to a \u2018secret\u2019 location for face-to-face interviews<\/p>\n Although I don\u2019t know the timeframes for these last two phases, I do know that it will progress rather quickly as Jauntaroo wants to make the announcement of the one person selected as their Chief World Explorer<\/strong> on or around October 26th<\/sup><\/strong> \u2013 just 3 weeks away.<\/p>\n So if you\u2019re reading this on Monday, Sept. 30 you can still vote, so please click on the link below and vote and then pass it along to a contact or two . . . or 5.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.bestjobaroundtheworld.com\/submissions\/view\/4459<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019m not sure when the Top 50 will be announced, I suspect by the end of the week, so you\u2019ll soon be hearing from me one way other the other either about moving on to the next phase of this competition or a blurred recollection of my adventures at the Boy\u2019s Birthday Bash, if I can remember any of it.<\/p>\n Thank you again to all those who have so faithfully supported me in this endeavor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Bob Sparrow \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well of course you knew with Monday being the last day for voting, that this week\u2019s blog from me just might mention \u2018The Best Job Around the World\u2019 competition being offered by travel company, Jauntaroo.\u00a0 I\u2019m … read more
