Poll: Do you know a young person looking for a job?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

When Carmen Sutherland lost her job because the company she worked for shut down, she never expected she would be made redundant again less than a year later.

The twenty two-year-old was left out of work when her employer, Godfreys, went into liquidation last year. But shortly after finding a new job at a furniture store, disaster struck again for Sutherland.

Many of the city's younger residents are struggling to find full-time work, faced with more people competing for a smaller number of roles.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
