HANDY with a lock pick? Watched all the James Bond movies? Want to see the world, meet interesting people and break into their embassy to steal their secrets? The Australian Secret Intelligence Service might have the job for you.

In a new notice on its careers webpage, ASIS, Australia's foreign intelligence agency, is looking for a ''corporate locksmith''.

Wanted ... a locksmith for ASIS.

''This is a unique role for a highly motivated and dedicated locksmith to provide complex locksmith services and advice across our organisation,'' the notice states. ''The position involves interstate and overseas travel, often at short notice.''

While such ''advice'' could involve cracking into the safes of certain Canberra embassies, the job is more likely to involve keeping ASIS's secrets secure.
