Where do I apply?

Job interviews aren't known for being fun, but if you're a talent techie then you could get yourself an all-expenses paid trip to Wellington, New Zealand.

A New Zealand tech industry is hoping to attract the brightest and best IT staff and will be shortlisting 100 candidates for a grilling from all over the world.

The Looksee Wellington programme, which is run as a partnership between Wellington Regional Economic Development Agency (WREDA) and Workhere New Zealand, aims to address the city's IT skills shortage.

Interviewers will be looking for a number of roles, including software developers, analysts, product managers and creative directors. There's nothing about people who make memes, but I think I might apply anyway.

The initiative will pay for the flights and accommodation for the lucky applicants, who will then undergo a series of interviews as well as taking part in 'meet ups' and getting to explore the city. Successful interviewees will be made offers at the end of the week.

If you want to give it a shot, you've got until the 20 March to apply. The trip, and interviews, will take place between 8 to 11 May.
