Teen Jobs

Josh from Mount Maunganui

Hi,

I am Josh and I'm 14 years old. Just an update on my last post, about my website, www.teenjobs.co.nz.... To remind you, New Zealand spends $345 million per year on 15-19 year olds unemployment benefits and I have taken up a challenge to address this. I would like to thank you all for your interest, positive comments and support after my last post.

Teen Jobs is now live to employers & households, with over 200 teenagers registered all across Tauranga & growing everyday with lots of contacts being made! I truly believe the website has the potential to help 1,000's of teenagers to find jobs and learn valuable skills for later in life.

BUT I NEED YOUR HELP!

It is a massive job to build up an active group of employers & households. We are free to use... so I have a marketing budget of $0 :) We have been fortunate enough to featuring on The Breeze Tauranga breakfast show & in The Weekend Sun newspaper. But we need to keep building up employers and households that will support teenagers.

If anyone has any contacts or idea that could promote or grow the website, please let me know. Also if everyone spreads the word, and tries the site, it will assist Tauranga's youth, providing them with experience & a little bit of extra cash.

Our site is designed to be extremely user friendly and free to use. You dont need to list a job, you simply select a teenager from our registered teenagers and make contact. Jobs can be everything from household chores like babysitting, lawn mowing, clean ups or even looking after the cat, right through to more permanent jobs.

Please visit my website, www.teenjobs.co.nz... for more information.

Kindest regards,
Josh Callander
