A Ministry of Education advert attempting to lure UK psychologists to Kiwi shores has made the regrettable claim of saying you'll be able to watch the sun rise over the Indian Ocean.
The blurb, which holds the New Zealand Ministry of Education logo, was concocted by UK-based recruitment agency, Hampton's Resourcing, in order to recruit 10 educational psychologists to Auckland.
For their professional services, the Ministry of Education will fork over $127,391.40 to Hampton's Resourcing, once the roles are filled, Stuff reports.
For clarification, Aotearoa is decidedly not situated in the Indian Ocean, which spans out to the west of Australia.
"Have you ever dreamed on [sic] working abroad and waking up every morning with the sun shining and the Indian ocean [sic] at your doorstep?", the advertisement went.
But, the errors didn't stop there.
The advert also over-quoted the salary the the positions by about $30,000.
While the 10 Auckland positions had a salary of around $70,000, the Hamption's Resourcing blurb promised between $88,652 and $106,000.
There were also numerous typos in the advert.
Ministry of Education deputy secretary sector of enablement and support, Katrina Casey, admitted the wording of the ad was not checked by them before its publication in the UK.
She said it was quickly removed once it was noticed.
