I dont wanna be a statistic when it comes to winz, but to get some sort of income, why is it so hard to find a job in NZ but yet really easy to study?, would rather drop my student loan not add to it.

I’m so stressed. I had a really good job but they ended my employment at the end of my 90 day trial even though I was meeting all expectations etx and was doing well. I have no job, no income. I’m young, I have a degree I can’t use. I had an interview which I’m waiting to hear back from but so many applications I don’t even hear from

I’ve been applying for about 9 months and been out of work for 6 months, i’ve had ONE interview in that whole time of applying. I have been working since I was 15 and I have just recently turned 19 but every time I apply somewhere I get the “We won’t be proceeding with your application”. I have a lot of work experience and even applying back in hospitality I have no luck and I worked in hospitality for 2 and a half years! what do I have to do to at least get more interviews ?!

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed... job hunting in NZ is impossible! So far, I’ve only managed to do one short-term labouring contract. Honestly, it feels like there are hardly any jobs out there. Is there any advice on how to get a permanent job?

Honestly, like it’s getting irritating getting Notified on seek “You are a strong applicant for this role”, go to apply for it & then get a email days later saying “sorry you were unsuccessful for this role, they have found a better suitable candidate for this role. Like Don’t hype me up at the beginning and then make me apply for it to get turned away lol. Maybe if anyone has any techniques on How I can go about applying for my Jobs, to ensure that I pass through the applying stage lol.

I have had a year off work after having my son. I thought that I would want to go back to work full time once he was a year old but I have now decided that I want to stay with him a bit longer. I'm hoping to find a work from home part time/casual job so that I can stay with my son while still bringing in at least some income. I'm not sure what type of job I should be looking for or what would be suitable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated:)

How long does it take to pass internal sign off when all your background and reference checks are cleared is there a chance where the offer can be withdrawn
