1301511 2012-09-18 00:48:00 Who decides if the offer is suitable? Under what criteria?
Will that mean someone in Bluff being forced to shift to Auckland because there is a job there?

More than likely to happen.

Though at the bottom of this article she says that people receiving benefits will not be forced to move.

Like most of the refugee males they let in smoke and will cost millions.

Its them ****ers that get the jobs and those that are wanting work can't get any because of these refugees.

1301517 2012-09-18 02:39:00 Right now there's 10,000 jobs a *week* available at WINZ. They have STACKS of them available. Who cares if you're not super-qualified to be a baker, it's easy to wake up at 4AM in the morning and with on-the-job training, you should be available to do-so.

As it stands right now WINZ say "What sort of job are you after Mr Chilling_Silence?"
"Oh I've been working in IT for a while, some sort of network administration, perhaps even Helpdesk role, but ideally I'm looking for something in VoIP or networking"
"I don't believe we have anything available right now in those areas, and I've never heard of VoIP, so what I'll do is take down your details and when something comes up we'll let you know"

... and they sent me on my way.
That was a little over 2 years ago now.

Could I have taken any of the 10,000 jobs that were sitting that I read through at the back? Most probably over half of them, many provide on the job training as needed. I couldn't do some like driving a forklift which requires qualifications (Drivers licence) but most didn't. Yet, they were perfectly content to let me go on my way, not having to apply for any of them. I could have easily been a baker, or a myriad of other jobs!

They rang me just over 3 months later "Hi Mr Chilling_Silence, this is somebody from WINZ, we have one job available here that we think you may be suitable for doing Helpdesk work, are you interested to come in and have a look?"
"No thanks, I've just passed my 90 day mark with a new company and they gave me a 50% payrise. Thankyou anyway"

There wasn't a "We've got a job, you're taking it", there wasn't a "You could do this other job here ,even though it's not your ideal field". No, I went out and got myself a job, I took anything I could, and I got one two days later.

If you're taking a handout, you should be taking any job they can give you. Plain and simple.

I +1 your whole post except for the quoted - No way did they call you Chilling_Silence ;) unless of course it was your 'prefered name'!
