Local libraries help those on the job hunt
Waimakariri residents needing help with their job search can get advice from their local library.
Waimakariri Library staff have been doing further training to help people with their CVs and job applications, and to find employment.
“We see people working on CVs, and applying for jobs almost every day on our public computers, and it is rewarding when you help someone find a job, “customer services librarian Sarah Stenhouse said.
Rangiora and Kaiapoi libraries are now offering free workshops for jobseekers who need help with writing or updating a CV, or applying for jobs online. The workshops will also cover setting up an email, resume options, and popular online job sites.
“We hope these workshops will provide an opportunity to help our community in these difficult times, and be able to show jobseekers how to make a good first impression to potential employers,” Stenhouse said.
The workshops are being held at Rangiora Library on July 27 and August 6, Kaiapoi Library on July 30 and August 7. All workshops run from 10am to 12pm and bookings can be made by calling 03 311 8091.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
