The Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport is hiring again for the best summer job ever - the Saskatchewanderer.
This is a student position that launched last year as a marketing pilot project. The job includes travelling around the province, discovering what makes Saskatchewan great, and then blogging about it through writing, photos and video.
"The first year of our Saskatchewanderer program was so successful we had to do it again," Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Bill Hutchinson said. "People from 110 countries and territories viewed more than 176,000 pages on saskatchewanderer.ca. And I am confident they liked what they saw of our wonderful province - they saw our exceptional provincial parks with their beautiful lakes, forests and even sand dunes along with unique cultural and recreational events."
The contest part of the hiring is changing for 2012. This year, the ministry will again select a shortlist for the public to vote on, but there will only be one round of voting (as opposed to three) and the public will choose which applicants get job interviews. The ministry will then conduct the interviews and ultimately select the 2012 Saskatchewanderer.
Students who are interested can apply at www.saskatchewanderer.ca. Submissions will be accepted from Feb. 10 to Feb. 17 at noon.
