NZ hiring managers, do you actually read cover letters or are we all wasting our time? 🫠 Asking as someone who has spent hours tailoring EVERY.SINGLE.ONE!! Only to find out the company I most wanted to work at doesn't even look at them until after the first interview.. 🥲

Just had a final round interview at one of NZ's most well known consumer brands. Felt great, they said they'd be in touch by end of week...so that was actually 3 weeks ago. No response to two follow up emails. Is ghosting after a final round just normal now or is something else going on???

130k AUD… that’s what my friends are now earning in Australia after taking the risk and moving there 2 years ago for roles similar to mine, while I’m still on $95k in NZ. Is the pay jump worth moving for in Australia? BTW, I’m 28 and working as a senior analyst at a NZ financial services firm.

Been in hospitality management in Queenstown for 6 years. Recruiters have told me my skills are transferable into corporate ops or project management but I haven't been successful in pivoting. Has anyone made this jump in NZ and what did it actually take?

Fonterra keeps coming up in my job search and some roles look interesting. 👀 Pay seems reasonable too. Just don't have a good read on what the internal culture is actually like day to day. Does anyone know how their corporate or digital function is like, what was your experience?

Seen a few roles come up at Xero in Wellington and Auckland. Always assumed it would be a dream employer but heard a lot has changed in the last 2 years. Anyone has intel?

idk guys i’m convinced these are AI listings or something every single job either doesn’t reply or answers with that generic “unfortunately” message lol. I’ve been applying for about a year now with new cvs and custom cover letters I pour my heart and soul into! such a bummer I just want to start my adult life without having to be a labourer in construction 😩🙏

It happened - I got let go from my job. Beating myself up and having a hard time trying to feel optimistic. What do I do now? I'm at a loss...😞

It never used to be hard to find a job since back in 2016 this year, i’m on 5 months unemployed and i haven’t found one singular job, offer or interview. What am i doing wrong?
