More on Murphy Goode...

I've been looking at the videos from folks trying to get their feet in the door at Murphy Goode... (www.areallygoodejob.com) and I have to say.... some of the videos are flat out overwhelmingly good. I'm not sure I can compete with these.

I heard about the position and thought I'd put something together - I guess I still have until this Friday to do so.... in preparation, I visited the website and reviewed about 50-60 videos... and saw the same recurring themes: I Love Wine, I have media experience, I love nature, I'm the one you want, etc etc....

The thing is, only one of the many folks applying is really 'the one'. I'm not sure what they are looking for but, if it's someone with extensive media experience who has already worked in a winery or for a major magazine or whatever, then I don't stand a chance - neither do 95% of the other applicants. Hell, some of these folks are so darn good looking that I forgot what they were talking about!!!!

That said, this is not a glamour job - it's a tough (interesting and fun - at times, I'm sure) and intense job - companies don't just pay $10,000 per month plus housing for someone to kick back and drink wine all day. This is a serious position for the right person with the time and effort to drop everything else in their life and focus on Murphy Goode for 6 months.

And then walk away.

Cheers!
