There's also good info here about what to include/exclude when writing a CV for a NZ employer.

Nice One

I have always thought of Lamingtons as Australian. Is this not so? Confused

I guess at the end of the day, an awful lot of kiwis and australians are from scottish stock, so it kind of evens itself out. Wink

You forgot about the cream that goes in between the sponge..and then covered in chocolate and coconut...most important part!

Those Aussies are always nicking our stuff. Like Russell Crowe, Pavlova, sam Neil ,lamingtons etc....we invent these people and things first and they always take the credit...they can have rolf harris and dame edna...they arent ours!!!! (constant arguing about who invented what first...all a bit of fun)

I think the main reason we returned home was because of the ice cream and the 50 flavours cadbury does (not just milk, fruit and nut and almond...oh no) I know some say it isnt as nice as UK cadbury...but I have forgotten as I eat a whole block of black forest or caramello....you wait till you lot get here and try that...you will think you have died!

Hiya

is that NZD$6000 the sum of it all, or are there any other fees. i.e. does it include the initial fee they charge for the CV/resume? Also I heard they charge a rate of your first year's salary?

I did some trawling on the web and there is a fair amount on them in their other interests - seem legit enough ????

Hmmm

cheers

Like I said..it was last year when he had just launched his website...it was hot, so I think it was about march time....(ask keith when he launched this part of the business..it was then) and the rate was 49 cents to our $1

AND YES it was $7000 US back then...cos he said it to my face, but like I said, who knows what he is charging now (maybe didnt get to many takers with the 7k.)

I am sure he is very good, and now at half the price, he is exceptional. Clapping

Tell us how you get on with getting a job via him.

i doubt very much that the nz govt back any agency who deal in helping companys that profess to help people find work. this is just a ploy. if in doubt about suspicious claims just check em out with the nzis via a quick e-mail , best to be safe than sure before parting with cash.
