| 861785 | 2010-02-26 07:39:00 | Hey guys, As most of you know I'm in the business of computer repairs. I am also a student, and the workload coming in this year will be too much for me to do myself alongside uni. (Note, this post was OK'd by Jen - thanks Jen.) So I am looking for someone in Wellington (the closer to the city the better, Petone/Tawa is the furthest out that could work) who is very good at diagnosing and fixing computer problems, good at dealing with customers (can be friendly, professional etc), and has a car. The expected workload should be about 7-10 hours per week, though this is very varied and a minimum workload will not be guaranteed. It is likely to increase gradually through the year but you are not required to work more than an agreed level. This position will start immediately. Job ad follows: I am looking for a part time computer technician to assist with home and small office computer repairs and related services. You must have proven skill and experience at diagnosing and fixing ALL computer problems, both hardware and software, be proficient at using all MS operating systems from Win98 to Win7, and find it easy to learn new skills rapidly. In addition to technical skills, you must be well presented and able to get on well with customers, and maintain a professional image. You must be trustworthy and inspire confidence as you will be billing by the hour on your own. You will be able to perform some work from home. You will also be selling parts and occasionally ex-lease computers, and will earn a commission on gross profit on sales. Access to a reliable car, and a drivers' license is required (full license preferred). You will be compensated per kilometre for the use of your vehicle. If you think you're up to the job, e-mail george at dewar dot co dot nz or call 04 831 1077 or 027 344 0353. |

| 861789 | 2010-02-26 20:31:00 | Not to be in the pain in the bottom but .. 10hr is not a lot of dough. Kids can get more doing p/time work in a supermarket. B/c it is part time, full time workers may not be suitable. Students again might not b/c they may not be fully qualified. Out of work people may be the only sorts., ie a qualified IT worker who may of been made redundant. What's the hourly rate like? |

| 861792 | 2010-02-26 23:13:00 | Don't think I mentioned quals. No qualifications are required - experience is much preferred. The only academic requirements are knowing what you're doing, learning fast, and being able to speak English well. Hourly rate is negotiable depending on experience. $17-21/hr. This makes up for the potentially low hours if supermarket style work is the alternative. Yes, the hours are no good for somebody wanting full time work. However, I hope that there may be students out there who have the skills and just want part time work alongside uni. However, I posted a listing on Student Job Search and so far the applicants have not had the required level of skill. Perhaps somebody who worked in a computer shop but then went to uni and is now a student. |

| 861793 | 2010-02-26 23:23:00 | One thing I will say is that home / smaller businesses are quite a bit diff to corporates. I assume many corporates are still on WinXP, a few might be on Win2k or Windows 2003 Workstation. I've only used up to XP, simply because it meets my needs. I struggle with Win7 demo that I had for a day, I didn't test drive it more .. cos it was just mucking around and in my case I had to swap the HDD out to be doubling sure. I've used Vista even less. Just at the shops :D |
