Yes! There ARE Jobs in Antarctica
The number of jobs available in Antarctica is staggering. There are jobs in almost every imaginable position, but the applicants are few.
Why people do not wish to live and work in a location that is sub-zero most of the year, with only penguins and ice-flows to talk to, with darkness half of the year and a definite lack of discos and nightclubs, is a mystery, but they do.
There is a real need for a number of career positions in Antarctica, as listed below:
Snow removal: this job involves removing snow from major streets and thouroughfares every day of your waking and sleeping life. Do not apply unless you hate snow and wish to remove it. You will be removing it all the time and from every known location. Snow, snow, snow. Got it?
Snow Studies: this job is part of the government's interest in knowing more about snow. What is it? Why is it so white? Why doesn't it say anything? If you want to apply for Snow Studies, you need to have a real, deep, and abiding interest in why snow is snow, and not, say, pasta.
Snow Shop: There are a number of positions open for persons wishing to open retail snow-outlets. Snow can be sold by the cup, litre or gallon, provided you have a snow-seller's license. Successful applicants will have experience with selling snow, retailing and wholesale, and have some financial capital to set up their snow selling business.\
Snow Men: Can you make a snow man? Due to the lack of human population Antarctica would be a much friendlier place if there were more people about...or even the 'appearance' of people. It you can make a Snow Man, and the more realistic the better, along with his Snow Wife and Snow Children, then there may be a job for you in the 'Re-population of Antarctica'. Apply today! And bring a shovel.

Jobs
in Antarctica
OK so youve seen the pictures, watched the
videos, read the books and now youve decided you want to actually go to
Antarctica. Occasionally there are postings on the bulletin board on this site
and other Antarctic sites from people who are hoping that making it known that
they are available will be sufficient to find a job - It isnt. Reality check 3 -
It is expensive to transport personnel to and from Antarctica, so while 3-6
months may suit you best, longer than this makes more sense for those who pay
the bills. Jobs in Antarctica are almost exclusively on National Research
Stations.

Antarctica for 10 years, and couldn't imagine doing anything else. I'm not going

go about finding the job, how to get it, and maybe why you shouldn't work in

required any kind of jobs inAntartica
i want to go antarctica and do any work.
I'm not sure where you got your information, but you are 100% wrong. There are only about 500 jobs in Antarctica with about 30,000 applicants each year. Thousands get turned down each season to work there, applicants that are extremely well trained, highly educated and can get a job virtually anywhere they apply. Please do not lead people to believe that "anyone" can get a job in Antarctica, it is extremely difficult to do, if not impossible.
