Do you like to eat food paid for by someone else and write about it. If so this job opportunity may interest you. Tourism officials in Richmond, British Columbia are seeking applications from food bloggers from around the world. They say the city of 200,000 outside Vancouver is "a hidden gastronomic gem" with more than 400 Asian eateries, and want to capitalize on the international rise in culinary tourism.
It’s a demanding job. The successful applicant will have to visit at least one of the city's restaurants every day. The one-year contract comes with a salary of $50,000, plus compensation for housing and living expenses, as well as a daily stipend for all restaurant meals. And to help burn off all those calories, the perks also include a membership to the Richmond Olympic Oval and its 2,100-square-metre fitness centre.
It is amazing the food blogging is becoming a profession and the influence that food bloggers are having.
What a great opportunity for a food blogger. Unfortunately Vancouver is just a little too far from Sydney for me to apply.
ReplyDeleteMaybe there would be an opening in Sydney in the near future!
DeleteThat's good and bad news for me! Good as in I'd so love to have that job but bad as it's just a little too far away and I'm sure this area isn't covered by their tourism board :D Sigh. Should I just emigrate?
ReplyDeleteTime to make chocolate cheesecake! Yum!
Migrating for the love of food? Thats dedication.
DeleteA very interesting job :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting for sure
DeleteI love Vancouver-there is a lot to see and do there. I bet they get some keen entries!
ReplyDeleteI am sure they will, considering the search is global
DeleteWow! It sounds fantastic! Thank you for the tip. I might soon move to Vancouver for a year ;-)
ReplyDeleteAll the best with your impending move to Vancouver, I am sure you will love it there. And I also hope with a glass continues at the same pace:)
DeleteIt was a joke: it might be the loveliest city in the world, but I wouldn't stand the cold.
DeleteI know, I was joking also:)
DeleteHaha that would be an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteMost certainly!
DeleteSounds like a great job to me! It's a good thing that the gym membership is included though. Eating out every single day would not be my smartest option!
ReplyDeleteMembership is a start, using it is another story!
DeleteI have a feeling there will be more than 10 applicants! Other side of the country for me.
ReplyDeleteI think so too, little more than 10!
