A backpacker has received backlash on social media for sharing what some consider to be a risqué snap whilst opening herself up to job opportunities.
The 24-year-old was picking up work in a bar to supplement her travels in Australia, but was hoping to land a new gig after Christmas.
Teddie Swan, from London, wanted to get ahead of the crowd and decided to post on Facebook.

“I will then be looking for work, ideally with accommodation, in the new year", she shared on the Backpacker Jobs in Australia group on Facebook.
“I’m willing to travel anywhere for the right position and currently have my own car.
"I have previous experience in retail, the pharmacy, childcare and working as an Ambulance driver. I look forward to hearing from you!"
Teddie also noted that she is travelling with her cousin so is “open to positions for multiple people."
Despite promoting her skills and what she is looking for, not everyone was too pleased with her job advertisement.
Along with her short description, Teddie added a number of photos of herself to the job post.
This included a snap of herself cuddling a goat and in a paramedic uniform.
But, some believe the backpacker's bikini pictures are "inappropriate" and shouldn't be used when looking for a job.
One person warned: "As a female solo traveller myself I’d be careful with pictures like yours while asking for a job.
"Be careful out there."
Another user slammed: "If I were looking for work I would NOT post a photo of myself wearing a bikini."
Meanwhile, a third jibed: "It may be a backpackers group but when you're looking for a job, act accordingly."
While some took issue with Teddie's choice of photos, others defended her.
One user said: "This is Australia and heaps of tourists come here for our relaxed, beach culture. She's not going for an $80k salaried position for f*** sake."
Teddie refused to let the negativity bring her down.
She quickly jumped to her own defence, adding: "To anyone saying they wouldn’t give me work because of the photos I have posted, you would equally not be someone I would like to work for."
The backpacker claimed that she has now been "inundated" with job offers despite dealing with "jealous" people.
She added: "Just to prove all you jealous people wrong (I say jealous as that’s the only reason that I can think you can be so rude and inconsiderate), I am inundated with job offers in my DMs and will look through them soon and get back to you all so thank you all!
"Please keep the comments coming because I only find them amusing, luckily I am tough skinned which could not be said for all!!"
