That’s right LUX Nation, they’ve masterminded a competition, The Second Best Job in the World, to identify this lucky fashionista, which means if you meet the requirements you too could toss your name into the ring! The name plays off the ‘Best Job in the World’ competition that was put on earlier this year by Australia’s tourism community.

The winner of this competition will earn the title as well as a one-month gig of LUX travel to Berlin, London, Milan, Paris, New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo with a spending budget of $15,000. You’ll visit the top shopping districts and explore the products that are exclusive to these regions. Do note ALL of your products that you buy at the end of the trip stay with YOU! Not to mention, the monthly budget is in addition to your gross monthly income of $7,500.

Expect to also do some LUX trend spotting and capture the highlights of all of your traveling adventures via your blog! The other items in your traveling kit will include a digital camera and camcorder to help document your process visually.

Does this sound like a dream come true? There are some requirements to qualify: You must speak English, French, or German; must LOVE to shop and have some expertise in the area; be a good communicator with a passion for writing and articulating your views via the written word. If you feel like you have what it takes, then don’t wait until the deadline of December 14. Apply Today at Letsbuyit.

Beware, the application process does require you to take a ‘Shopping Quiz’ to demonstrate your knowledge! Once this is complete, you will be asked to post a 1-minute video on the site and invite friends/family to recommend you! Your social media skills will be put to the test immediately through this process. The winner will be selected on December 21 and announced via the website and email to all candidates! Good luck.

So LUXies, what do you think of this out-of-the-box hiring strategy?
