Free clean fill/topsoil

Tony from Titahi Bay

Hey a mate of mine (Simon) in Papakowhai has several trailer loads of clean fill to get rid of this weekend.

If anyone in Porirua/Whitby/Elsdon area wants this, then drop him a line on 027 4628233. It would be a win/win if you took this off his hands otherwise he will have to pay tip fees to dump it.

It has to be this weekend 23/24 March 2019. You could drop by his house to collect yourself or he may be able to deliver it to by arrangement.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
