SAY goodbye to your old life and hello to the Maldives!
An island resort is looking for a bookkeeper to balance living and working at a special spot in the breathtaking string of islands located in the Indian Ocean.
Soneva Fushi, a 5-star resort in the Maldives, seeks a bookkepper to stay free on the island and receive a monthly payment for keeping their guests literarily entertained
"Ultimate Library in partnership with Soneva Fushi, a 5-star luxury resort in the Baa Atoll, opened the first Pop-Up Bookshop in the Maldives in 2018 to worldwide acclaim," the site's application page states.
"Our search for the Barefoot Booksellers has sparked the imagination of the world over the last three years and still proved that in uncertain times, the dream of a residency among the books, sea, and sand is still universally appealing."
Those fortunate enough to harness this unique, desirable role in the past have given guests the gift of writer's workshops and personalized "reading consultations."
"We are interested to see what new ideas you can bring to the role," their invitation expresses.
The luxury resort right at the Earth's ever-warm equator seeks a "team player" with deep knowledge and a love of books.
While the ideal candidate will partly be the type to keep their nose in a book, they should also have the social muscles to entertain guests of any age.
Superb oral and written English skills are a requirement, as the bookkeeper will be in charge of writing a blog that captures the island experience.
The barefoot bookseller can enjoy comped meals and free accommodations from Soneva, Entrepreneur writes.
Water sports and access to a private beach, a gym, and a spa are all included throughout the length of the contract.
The role flexes a $750 base salary, says the outlet, and the employee will see additional income as they craft their unique, literary-led experiences for guests.
Applications were open for the resort through August 8.
The lucky employee will begin their island life this October.
The lucky island dweller will begin their year-long contract in October of 2022
