Gone are the days of getting one qualification out of school to see you through your working life. Now, upskilling, online courses and on-the-job training are all part of making your way up the career ladder.

Gone are the days of getting one qualification out of school to see you through your working life. Now, upskilling, online courses and on-the-job training are all part of making your way up the career ladder. 

We want to talk to people who have completed micro-credentials, bitesize qualifications for specific skills. 

Perhaps you've pieced together a full qualification by doing online courses, or maybe you've taken a workshop rather than investing in a six-month course. We'd love to hear from you - email josephine.franks@stuff.co.nz

Its like the post office of the past and there is no private option set ups like chemist PO sales. The latest is the Ponsonby Rd Branch to close now the closest to a branch is the city. Not everybody wants to go to city, i certainly don't - Luckily the Pt Chev one is still there but for how long, Better start using it or it will. Its going to be hard to do cash banking if no where to take it without a big effort.. Be interesting to see how everybody else is feeling out there ? I know a lot of bills are on line now but where's the close customer service.

Perhaps you’ve thought about putting your house on the market, or you just want to get an idea of where its value is in its current condition.

This is where we can help at no cost to you! Simply fill out a form online and a real estate agent will visit and give you a true market value. Not just an algorithm - which can’t see how a property physically compares to others with the same criteria.

At What's my House Value, we want to know your thoughts down below. Simply vote what you think increases the value of a property.
