A "dream" job at a major streaming service, where she will review content for the platform, has landed a lucky Australian.
Alex Bain has been named Prime Video's "Buff" after a national search to fill the position.
The 36-year-old from Queensland will receive $40,000 for three months of monitoring content and sharing opinions, an occupation not unfamiliar to the avid viewer.
Besides, through her social media accounts - TikTok, Instagram, YouTube - she very often critiques and, above all, trolls scenes from series and movies.
When she saw the ad for the position, a friend encouraged her to apply and she spent countless hours editing the videos she submitted before finally being shortlisted.
"It was like looking at a list of what would be the perfect job for me. I'm 36 years old and I want to do something I'm passionate about, so I decided to give it a go. I got a call from Amazon telling me I was shortlisted and I remember yelling, "Oh my God!", she told NCA NewsWire."
[BR][BR]She says the time between submitting the application and being told she made it went "way too fast."
"I submitted the video and about a week and a half later, I was chosen. I tried not to get my hopes up. I remember thinking to myself that I had never interviewed for a job so much fun. I didn't even have to pretend to be passionate and happy," she notes.
Shortly after, she was informed that she was the one chosen to fill the position.
And the "Buff" role comes with some incredible perks, including exclusive access to Prime Video content, access to red carpet events and telecommuting from her couch - all while becoming "permanent" on Prime's social platforms.
Osser Gansberg,[/B] who was on the selection committee, said they were "blown away" by the volume of candidates for the role.
"Alex immediately caught our attention. She is creative and confident, incredibly charismatic and above all, she is obsessed with entertainment. She happens to be the most knowledgeable person on the subject in all of Australia. The impersonations you do were just a bonus. We knew immediately that we had found the right one," she explained."
For her part, Alex Bain said she was thrilled to have been chosen for the coveted position, where she will not only share her views on her favourite subject but also get paid.
"This is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me!" she says.
