Remember:
- In a large local tsunami causing earthquake, roads may be damaged or blocked, so include walking.
- Don't wait for an official warning, there may not be time in a local source tsunami.
- Remember long OR strong, get gone.

This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

I not only have a careers guidance qualification, but I have considerable business experience, having owned my own business for 30+ years and employed numerous people, so I have a pretty good handle on what employers want. I've also lived, worked, invested and volunteered in my community, so I've got a pretty good idea as to what makes it tick. If you are a parent of a student about to start high school, or have a teenager about to begin their final year at school and they have no idea what they want to do - get in touch. I'm happy to field any work preparation enquiry to help point you in the right direction

It's completely FREE to sell something on Neighbourly - plus you'll have a chance to meet one of your friendly neighbours. Here's a few tips and tricks to make your sale is a quick and easy one:
* Use good images to ensure your items really stand out
* Share an description of each item you are selling including details of its condition
* Add a price for your listing
* If you have multiple items to sell, group these into a single post and itemise the unique items you have for sale with their sale price.
* Once an item has sold, remember to mark it as SOLD (just click on the three little dots under your post)
* Consider listing an unsold item in the Free Stuff category if you're keen to see it moved along.
* Once a neighbourly has confirmed they'd like to purchase your item, share details using your Neighbourly Inbox
We are always grateful for the donated goods we get but please, please, please don't dump your rubbish at our Op Shops. In among these items are boxes of half empty paint tins and junk. If possible, could donations be delivered during opening hours - Mon - Fri 10am to 4pm and Sat 9am to 1pm.
