Job search Story

Wesene Mammo from Glen Eden

My brother has been in NZ since September 2024 and he has been looking for a job since then. He has resident visa and learner license. We have been applying every day, went to places to talk in person, went to WINZ to talk to job broker. Actually WINZ didn’t treat us well. If my brother was on benefits, they would squeeze every button to get him a job. We didn’t ask anything else. He’s residing in NZ and if there is a job please get him to attend an interview. That’s all we ask of WINZ. But no help. We didn’t even ask a job that’s on his CV. He just needs a job to start with. Like pick packing, data entry, trolly assistant…… some ask NZ experience. Where can he get NZ experience if one is not going to hire him??? I’m disappointed because I’m NZ citizen and I’ve been here since 2016. I was alone here for all these years until I decided to bring my brother. Now life is really hard on both of us and we’re almost begging for a job. What a story to tell in the future.
