The winner for what Letsbuyit.com is calling the "Second Best Job in the World" will have to keep a blog, find the best bargains, and compare shopping cultures in Berlin, Hong Kong, London, Milan, New York, Paris and Tokyo.

In May, Briton Ben Southall won a "Best Job in the World" competition organised by a local tourism agency in Australia to work as a caretaker on an idyllic island. The contest drew 34,000 candidates from 200 countries.

Candidates for the shopping competition have until December 14 to submit a video and a resume explaining their suitability for the one-month job of "international shopping consultant," which will include a 5,000-euro salary.
