New Zealand Will Give You a Free Trip If You Agree To a Job Interview (esquire.com)

Posted by msmash on Wednesday March 1, 2017 @07:25AM from the how-about-that dept.

An anonymous reader shares an Esquire article: If New Zealand is on your bucket list, it's time to fill out a job application. You see, the tech industry in Wellington, New Zealand is trying to recruit experts from around the world to their community, so they're offering a free trip if you can prove you want the job and deserve an interview. They're calling it a "global talent attraction program" and 100 potential recruits will be invited on the free (yes, free) week-long trip. But, of course, the catch is you have to prove why you could serve as a software developer, creative director, product manager, analyst or digital strategist to get a free ticket. Once you do, your itinerary will be filled with interviews and meetings with others in the New Zealand tech community members, as well as excursions around Wellington.

Yeah! ...and it is illegal to have a private garden. Kiss "Goodbye" to your geraniums if you move here.

Lol, another bitter Kiwi, probably butt hurt from all the losing at cricket.
You know why Kiwis dont take their girlfriends to the cricket?
They are afraid they will jump the fence, and start eating the grass.
Why do Kiwi horses go so fast?
Theyve seen what happens to the sheep.
