The Looksee Wellington program has announced the ultimate job interview: an all-expenses paid trip to New Zealand.
The growing tech industry of Wellington is looking for applicants all around the world, and Looksee Wellington -- a partnership between Wellington Regional Economic Development Agency (WREDA) and Workhere New Zealand -- is willing to pay for the flights and accommodation of up to 100 worthy applicants.
Those interested have to apply to prove their worth, and if chosen, must appear for pre-arranged job interviews with certain tech companies in the city. Candidates must also participate in meet ups and explorations around the city, but this seems like a small price to pay.

Applicants will have to be in New Zealand from May 8-11, and companies will make their offers once the week is over.
According to Business Day, “just a week after going live, WREDA said the platform had already received more than 5,000 expressions of interest from tech professionals worldwide, including some who work for global giants, such as Google, Facebook and Amazon.”
Applicants have until March 20 to submit their resumes. (sul/kes)
