Junior Lucky Bastard

http://jlb.55dsl.com/ Looking for a job this summer? Though Stern kids cream their pants over internships at Goldman and Lehman, this job trumps them all.

February 26th, 2008

Yes, YOUR JOB SUCKS but now there is an opportunity for you to make all your dreams come true! No, you cannot be an astronaut or a famous pop star, but we can have you started by adopting you as our JUNIOR LUCKY BASTARD! We’ll be sending you to the most exotic destinations for free, where you’ll be attending some of the best parties and hanging out with the coolest crews! We‘ll take care of all the costs but we’re leaving the having fun part all up to you; although we have been known to encourage people off planes.

Everyone can apply through www.55DSL.com starting from March 2008, sending a Video Application of 1:55 seconds and not a flat CV. We repeat no CV’s. We are looking for creative video executions that show the applicants’ creative ability to deal with everyday life and how they would live “live 55 seconds per day.” The deadline for submissions is May 1st 2008; after applicants will be selected accordingly to how they respond to a real Junior Lucky Bastard profile. A short period of training to prepare the selected will precede the real travel: two months around the world, from July till September 2008.

So stop making excuses for yourself and start living at least 55 seconds per day!
