828551 2009-11-09 19:49:00 Jobs in Wellington? Where? I'm looking, but it feels pretty thin on the ground at the moment. I never said wellington ;) The picture was a hint - there are two items in it, one Wgtn and the other a distance - look where 2512Km's is from Wellington. Hence the original quote "but there's a catch - its slightly further a field than Auckland" and selected smilies. :D wainuitech (129)

Just be prepared to do anything within reason that brings in a few $$. Who knows, you may even enjoy it. Let us know how you get on.
Goodluck,

I was thinking the same thing :D

There's nothing wrong with some good, honest toil - it's the philosophy on which Hone's white MF's built this country. :rolleyes:

I wish I knew how to build a fence now so that I didn't have to pay someone else to do it.

Just got back from a 10 day holiday in Brisbane / Gold Coast - that photo was taken from the Qdeck.

While in the gold cost I visited a couple of computer shops, to get directions - and both times ended up having a bit of a chat to the people (also telling them What I do for a job - they chatted quite cheerfully), both places said the same thing - they have so much work on its not funny (as do most other places).
One said they have to work past normal closing time of 5.30, usually till 9.30 -10 PM, just to try and keep up.

I asked why not hire some more staff - one just smiled and asked if I was looking for or wanted a job :eek:

The other place said they hire people all the time, They have a trail period - but mostly its students that think they know what they are doing, but with real work / problems its to much for them and they quit after about a week or two. Full time people seem to move around a bit from place to place.
