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?

Hey community, I’m looking for a career change. I’ve been a concrete worker/ carpenter for 6 years and I just really need a change. Are there any transferable skills to get another job without studying. I’m looking for a different job perhaps in hospitality or events. Thanks Ethan

Anyone got advice for getting into IT? I’ve got a Diploma in IT and hands-on experience with Microsoft 365 and troubleshooting. I currently work full-time in another industry but regularly solve technical issues and enjoy problem solving. I’m also building my skills through self-learning and projects. I’ve been applying for IT support/service desk roles but finding it tough to land that first role. Any advice?

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!

My name is Sparsh Sharma and I am currently working in hospitality in Auckland. I am looking for a career change into the finance industry. I would like some guidance on how i can get these finance based jobs. Currently applying for them hasn't been good, not to sure what employers are looking for.

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?
