A couple of job advertisements caught the eye of Recruiter this week, on opposite sides of the world…
Beloved children’s TV show Blue Peter is looking for a new presenter and is turning the process into a TV programme in itself, hosted by those masters of entertainment recruitment, the mononymic duo of Dick and Dom.
With the show’s catchphrase being “here’s one I made earlier”, one wonders that the show didn’t have a better talent pipeline to be able to bring in and onboard a new presenter more immediately.
Interested candidates (and if you apply, please let us know too!) are directed to email
[email protected] for more details.
Meanwhile in Australia, state body Tourism Australia has its own competition for six jobs, each with a six-month contract and salary package worth $100k (£68k), which it claims are the six ‘best jobs in the world’.
There is a serious point behind the contest, which is part of a major international push to promote tourist industry job opportunities in Australia’s Working Holiday Maker (WHM) program.
In 2012, WHMs contributed $2.5bn to the economy, spending an average of $13k during their stay, although six lucky recruits will have a little more at their disposal. The jobs up for grabs are for a chief funster (no, really) in New South Wales, an outback adventurer in Northern Territory, park ranger in Queensland, a wildlife caretaker in South Australia, a lifestyle photographer in Melbourne, Victoria and a taste master in Western Australia.

Both sound like they give a previous role claiming to be the ‘best marketing job in the role’ a run for its money, as marvelled at by recruiter.co.uk back in December, alongside a potential candidate for the world's most unattractive recruitment proposition.
