Ok, jobs are becoming as rare as hen's teeth in some industries so I thought that as there are many of us here working we might keep an eye on the internal job boards and give a nod to those seeking jobs.

Please post as much information on the job as you feel comfortable. You may prefer anyone who is interested to PM you first, some companies might not want their positions broadcast.

I'll kick off.

Location: Christchurch

Position: Person with solid C# experience who can implement business logic into existing web services.

Contact me via PM, please.

[Arwen]

Moorf, I think that's a great idea!!! :nice1:clap

[bananamuffin]

Moorf

:nice1 Excellent idea and will be very helpful for those of us planning to emigrate/move as well as those already there who are looking for work. Will keep an eye on this thread.

Thanks for starting this! :cheers

I posted this in the IT job thread a bit ago, but OH's company is still hiring multiple positions.
Software testing, technical support, as well as graduate, intermediate and senior developer positions (.Net, C# among other things).

They are advertising on seek directly now instead of using an agent as far as I can tell so seekers in the Christchurch area have probably seen the jobs.

Good math skills a must. I can't do anything with a CV but if you PM me I can tell you the company and what basically to expect for interview etc. (I'm under the impression that posting the web address is against the TOS, so just PM me)

As of 9 months ago were willing to deal with people regardless of immigration status as long as they were available for in person interview, probably still are as well. Unfortunately I get the impression they are very picky, so not sure how much help this really is.

[Moorf]

Another thought - perhaps any jobs in small local newspapers that we get in NZ that we think might be of interest could be posted here. I know they advertise quite a few teaching jobs in our local Darfield paper, for instance.

What I don't really think will be helpful on here is a list of recruitment agencies and websites as I believe there's already many listed on here. Or, perhaps considering the economic climate, a new "sticky" thread of recruitment outlets could be made?

Just want to pop this up again.
I hear what the company is looking to hire lots of is software testers (OH mentioned at a work outing that I was bored without a job and was asked if I knew how to test software, so they must need people! :laugh). I'm not sure if there is a technical test like there is for the programming positions (passing that is the main basis for being offered a developer position afaik), but I can find out if anyone is interested.

There may be a job going at our garage dealership in New Plymouth.

Sorry if its a little vauge, but I'm not sure what position they're looking for. I think they're basically just looking for the right person.

PM me if anybody is interested.

And a Workshop Manager's Assistant. Someone who can do warranty claims, help with the running of the workshop, be a Service Adviser when needs be, good IT skills and generally backing the manager.

Again, PM me if you are interested or know of anyone.

Thanks.

The company I work for would be interested to talk to anyone with solid coldfusion experience. We're based in ChCh but we have another office in New Plymouth which is where the role would probably be based.

Here's one for the Mum's. Found on TradeMe.
Will fit round kids school hours easily.


Content Writing for UK Financial Website
Listing #: 236136026
Advertisement
Company: SGB Services Limited
Location: North Shore City, Auckland
Type: Part time, Contract/T*emp
Listed: Fri, 14 Aug
Pay and benefits: $25 to $30 an hour
Very important - the applicant must be able to come into our Browns Bay offices for face to face communication for at least half the hours worked. Therefore preference will be given to you if you stay on the North Shore.

Hours of work are flexible. EG 10am to 12.30pm - collect the kids and then do a few hours from home.

Its critical that you are Internet savvy. IE use the Internet for banking, shopping, news, research etc.

Its for a UK website (http://www.askfinancially.com) so a lot of preference will be given to a person recently relocated from the UK who understands the car insurance and mortgage markets there.

Employment would initially start out as being a 3 to 6 month fixed term contract. If the website takes off it will more than likely develop into something else.

And a second one - also 3 months. Start mid next week, so don't delay. You need high level of MS Office experience, preferably some Photoshop or DTP layout experience.

PM me if you think you have experience and I'll see if I can get you in to the process. They are interviewing on Monday and Tuesday, so short notice.
