Hey team, two quick questions. 1. It seems FIFO roles in Australia are getting harder for Kiwis, as travel (e.g. Christchurch–Perth–regional sites) is costly and employers prefer local FIFO/DIDO. Does anyone know companies that still hire Kiwis? 2. Do employers now prefer younger workers over those with multiple degrees, skills, and life experience?

I have a question for those working a four-day work week. I've heard about how NZ companies are adopting the 4-day week, but how do you fit everything into four days? How does you get everything done? Do you get the same pay?

I'm in my late 40s now and want to move from marketing into a more 'meaningful' job, like education or a research-based position. I'm happy to start from entry level in a new field, but I'm worried ageism will make it impossible to get hired. Given I would have to study for a few years, is it realistic to start fresh in my 50s?

Applying for a range of roles as looking to pivot, to get little to no feedback of how my application doesn’t suit or how could improve my applications for future when I have ample experience to match most applications is so frustrating. Replying to not successful emails to get the cold shoulder. Any advice? Recruiters, up your game please!

Trying to figure out next steps. My partner and I decided to leave our jobs for various reasons, we have a 15 month old baby and have few expenses. I have the option of relief teaching if i want (not keen,) Not too concerned about money and busy (lots to be done), and i know that the right job will come up for my partner. Thinking itd be good to find something remote/flexible where i work 30 hours a week. Not sure what, bookkeeping? As i enjoy planning, researching, organising and im resourceful
