My dream job. No ifs, ands, or buts. I want this job. But it’s open to you too – all you have to do is 1) move to Sonoma (Healdsburg) for 6 months to a beautiful home, 2) learn about wine, 3) tweet and Facebook about it, and 4) have someone pay you $10K per month for it.
Yeah, it’s #4 that’s the kicker, right?
I cannot even tell you how many of my wine contacts have sent me this job, which appeared in several wine newsletters over the last few days.
We at the Murphy-Goode Winery got to thinking about the new age of communications and we figured it was a pretty good thing. So to get going, we’re looking for someone (maybe you) who really knows how to use Web 2.0 and Facebook and blogs and social media and YouTube and all sorts of good stuff like that — to tell the world about our wines and the place where we live: the Sonoma County Wine Country.
In exchange, we’re offering you a “Really Goode Job” — a six-month job paying $10,000 a month plus accommodations!
We want to hire a social media whiz (your title will be “Murphy-Goode Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent”) who will report on the cool lifestyle of Sonoma County Wine Country and, of course, tell people what you’re learning about winemaking.
Did we mention that the compensation was $10,000 per month Plus accommodations in a beautiful home in picturesque Healdsburg, a popular vacation destination in our neck of the woods. Working hours are flexible. And all you have to do is experience wine and good living, and then tell people about it. (Do you play Poker, or Liar’s Dice? Don’t worry; we’ll teach you.)
You (we hope) will become part of the Murphy-Goode crew — for six great months.
There is a catch, of course. First off, everyone and their brother will probably apply for it. Next, you have to submit a video and fill out an application. As much as this is a marketing ploy (similar to the Australian Dream Job), I think they are actually serious about it as well. They’ll whittle it down to the Top 50 applicants, and then from there, the top 10. The Top 10 get to visit beautiful Healdsburg for an interview at the end of June.
Yeah, I want this job.
