The Antarctic Post Office is looking for "the coolest job on earth". Would you like to work there?

I like it, because it will be a rare experience in my life, enough for me to enjoy the rest of my life.

It's coming, it's coming, it's coming towards us. In the past, the coolest jobs in my friends' minds might be astronauts, divers, geological prospectors and so on. All the jobs that can "go to heaven" seem to be full of attraction. But now there is a job with the title of "coolest on earth", that is, going to the South Pole to count penguins.

Not long ago, a recruitment of staff in the Antarctic "Penguin Post Office" attracted many people's attention. It is reported that more than 100 people around the world have applied for this position, so the competition is still fierce. The most critical requirement for job seekers in this job is to be able to count the number of penguins.

Recruit three positions, ***3 people: postal supervisor, store manager and comprehensive assistant respectively. Located at the southernmost tip of the earth, the post office in Port Rockroy, Antarctica.

The overall recruitment requirements are as follows:

"First of all, run this post office and souvenir shop in Rockroy Port.

2. Handling mails sent to all parts of the world, with about 7,000 to 8,000 mails sent to more than 65,438+000 countries and regions every year.

Third, work with other team members to protect the historical buildings and cultural relics of the base, including the former residence of British explorers in Antarctica.

Fourth, count penguins. In the local Papua penguin incubation season, it is necessary to regularly count the number of penguins and newly hatched penguin cubs, assist the British Antarctic Survey to record the number of penguins and other wild animals, and submit a report before the end of the work. "

Although there are many job seekers in this job, the job content is not as simple as expected. First of all, you can't use a mobile phone to work there, because there is no internet at all; Secondly, the power is limited, and bathing is a problem. Only cruise ships waiting to enter the port can take a bath on board with their permission; In addition, the natural environment is also relatively harsh, and it is necessary to overcome the cold wind.

At the same time, the salary of this job is only 1600 to $2,300, which is not high, especially for workers in Europe and America. Moreover, Camilla Nicole, CEO of Antarctic Heritage Trust, said that it may take 12 hours to work in the post office every day.

Since the environment is not good and the salary is not good, why are there so many people signing up? In my opinion, it's mainly because everyone thinks it's picturesque and quiet here, accompanied by cute little penguins, which can cultivate sentiment and is a rare life experience. And this is a charity job, which is exactly what caring people want to do.

A staff member once said in his blog, "Just looking at those lovely penguins every day is enough to offset all the unhappiness. I also hope to have the opportunity to work in such a place once in the future. After all, this will be the most rare experience in my life.
