The Best Job In The World : AUD150k in 6 vacation-months, What Say You?



What is the best job in the world?
1- Engineer?
2- Medical Doctor
3- Clown?
4- Actor?
5- hehe... programmer?
......

Up to you dudes to justify.. choose or whatever act to make sure your job or your dream job is THE best job. But.. right now.. I'm so very excited to grab this opportunity :-

"The Caretaker of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef."

..the job description...


Explore and report back
There’s so much to see and do, so you’ll have plenty to write about in your weekly blog. And with so much life above and below the water, you’re sure to capture some entertaining moments for your video diary and photo gallery. To keep you busy, Tourism Queensland will organise a schedule of travel and events on the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef. Your schedule could include sampling a new luxury spa treatment at qualia on Hamilton Island, trying out new snorkelling gear on Heron Island, or bushwalking on Hinchinbrook Island.

Feed the fish
There are over 1,500 species of fish living in the Great Barrier Reef. Don’t worry – you won’t need to feed them all.

Clean the pool
The pool has an automatic filter, but if you happen to see a stray leaf floating on the surface it’s a great excuse to dive in and enjoy a few laps.

Collect the mail
You’ll have some time on your hands, so why not join the aerial postal service for a day? It’s a great opportunity to get a bird’s eye view of the reef and islands.


wow... definitely THE BEST!

Tempted? Apply..

Prepare your super duper unique 60secs vid of yourself.. to accompany your application.

Cannot find the declaration of element 'Request' : AirAsia version of org.xml.sax.SAXParseException


Error in GetGTAHotelInfo..org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'Request'


Yupp... thats the very 'special' error message when i try to browse for the best available flight + hotel arrangement at GuangZhou, China by AirAsia.

Maybe below snippet can somewhat 'help' you guys at AA..

You need to set namespace awareness to true on the DocumentBuilderFactory.
XML schema validation requires namespace support.

Thanks.

....or....


The attempt to import an XML file results in the error messages given above.

Solution: Your XML file contains an invalid schema or namespace declaration. Check the request element for typographical errors or missing attributes. The request must have the following form:

xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PortalConfig_1.2.xsd"
...>


That's is for the first try. My second try resulting another error that stated... "Error in GetGTAHotelInfo.Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Anybody?
