Exactly. Why don't Kiwi's want to work anymore? Or are they... just not in NZ? Bloody colony.

I'll take the job, however I want you to train me and pay a starting wage of $25 P/H which I will re-negociate at a later stage.

Call me on 0210300202 if you want to refuse this once in a lifetime opportunity, otherwise I will see you on Saturday. I am excited, I know you are as well.

P.S. I will also need Monday - Friday off so that I may run my own business.

P.P.S. Additionally, I will also expect a weekly travel allowance of $100 to cover the cost of commuting from the Hibiscus Coast to Moronslivehere.

P.P.P.S. One last thing, I also expect to be paid under the table, so as to avoid paying tax and having my sickness, disability and un-employment benefit withdrawn by WINZ.

Finally found a mechanic on Friday.
Had pretty well given up, and this bloke walked in at 4pm and said he'd heard we were looking.
He fits all the criteria and more.
Said he'd tried to come in over Xmas but we were closed for holidays.
So all's sweet.

Then yesterday a guy I had tried to employ a year ago when he was thinking of moving back here, but changed his mind, rang me said he was moving back and is there a job still here.
Fuck's sake...........and he's good too.

Might have to accommodate him too when he moves in a few months.

Our local bike shop found itself without any bike mechanic at all a couple of months back. They have now employed a guy who has recently moved from Holland. He doesn't speak english very well, and he trained on Harleys, but other than those two drawbacks, he seems to know his stuff.

Qualified Kiwis are simply leaving the country as they can earn much more in Aussie where tax and the cost of living is cheaper.

I've met plenty of Mechanics in the UK that were envious about me moving to NZ. Then I told them the ratio of earnings to house prices and they just stay put in blighty.

Ask your govt to invest in affordable sustainable housing programmes and you'll get an influx of desirable workers. NZ as it stands is only attractive to the uber rich.

but that's another thread....I for one would love to work in Morrinsville - but I'm a commercial business manager and can only perform basic maintenance on my bike.

Anyone have a commercial venture with $300M annual turnover out in the sticks I can manage for them?

Thought not. I remain city bound.
