Further to my previous post on being Homeless in Kapiti

Donna from Otaki District

Further to my previous posts on being Homeless in Kapiti a core group has been set up to discuss and work with what and how we can achieve this dilemma and having its voice heard. I had asked that others share their stories and experiences so a Facebook group has been started for these to be shared on. First you will need to request to join the group and answer three questions before admin will accept you in. This is done to keep the members safe and have their privacy kept. Once in the group it is asked that you read the Mission Statement, Privacy and Guidelines before any posts are made. There is the option of making an anonymous post to share your story or to post and admin will review it before accepting it. That is to keep out any abusive, nasty, bullying posts and comments. Members and posts cannot be seen by non-members to protect your privacy. If you are interested in pulling together with other interested Kapiti people to house and reduce the homeless numbers please feel free to join at the following link. If you have any questions before committing to joining please feel free to ask in the comments

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

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?
