The 'unique' position has taken the internet by storm as the employers will not only be provided with food but also salary for the long term assignment. Many Twitter users have posted their wish to apply for the job starting from April 1 till October, and some of them also called it 'perfect'. 

The island on Europe's Atlantic fridges is majestic 1,100 acres with views, rains, stiff breezes that power the wind turbine.
