Win the job of your dreams and make a world of difference!

The World of Difference, a programme of the Vodafone Netherlands Foundation, is offering Dutch nationals the chance to make your dream come true and to paid to work abroad for a charity for a year. For example as the brand manager for dance4life in Latin America!

As well as the dance4life position there are jobs with Music Mayday, oneMen and Plan Nederland in a number of developing countries in Africa and Asia. Commercials on MTV and Comedy Central ask would-be candidates to submit their entry via Hyves. The registration period runs until 17 September 2010.

The Vodafone Netherlands Foundation offers five winners the opportunity to work, fully paid, for one year for a charitable organisation. As well as a salary, the winners will receive an expense and travel allowance, enabling them to commit themselves fulltime to a project, making a real world of difference. Starting today, applicants can submit their entry via a specially developed World of Difference Hyves. During the last four weeks of the registration period, candidates can start collecting as many votes as possible through family and friends. When the registration for the much sought-after jobs and voting period has closed on 17th September, the two candidates in each job category with the most votes, will automatically go to the grand finale. The other finalists will be selected by a jury. As of 23rd August, MTV, TMF and Comedy Central will be broadcasting commercials of the candidates in which they themselves can call upon everyone to vote for them. During the final on 7th October 2010, which will take place at MTV Networks, the overall winners will be announced.
