New Zealand Offers 100 Free Trips To Its Country, But What's The Catch?

New Zealand is offering people a chance to travel to its country for free. There will be 100 slots available and for those who will meet the criteria, everything will be paid for from flight fares to accommodation. However, the catch would be getting a job interview in Wellington City.

According to Metro, two New Zealand-based companies, Workhere New Zeland and Wellington Regional Economic Development Agency, are sponsoring this program which is called Looksee Wellington. This program aims to hire people in the tech field due to the growing tech industry in Wellington.

Everything is free but the candidates must take part in the pre-scheduled job interviews with some of the city's leading tech companies. There will also be meet-ups and tours around the city until such time when the companies would select the perfect candidate who's fit for the job that they're offering.

Independent reported that interested applicants have less than two weeks left until the deadline for the submission of resumes on March 20th. The duration of the trips and the interviews in New Zealand would last from May 8th-11th.

For potential employees coming from other countries, there will be forums and events hosted by the organization in charge. These informational events would help these future immigrants know the basic procedures of relocating to New Zealand.

In other news, some companies have also done the same thing to attract potential talents to work for them. In 2016, Netflix was looking for four new talents who would be present on the sets of its popular shows and take photos. These "Grammsters," as what they called these talents, would be receiving a weekly salary of $2,000 and all the travel arrangements would also be shouldered by the company.

But for those interested in LookSee Wellington, people can check out the offer on its website and learn how to be a part of its program.
