  • I hire about 10 seasonal staff each summer for about 5 months. they are just casual labour but we still offer the living wage to unskilled people just out of school ($28.95, so I guess this is what Ikia are offering).

    I had maybe 200 applicants:

    • over 50% were from oversease
    • of the next 50 odd % couldn’t bother to write a cover letter of not have a generic CV (often still with some default form stuff in it)
    • about 50% of the rest were at the other end of the country and couldn’t make it on site for an interview

    That leaves bugger all to choose from.

    I think over $29 for staff that you are planning to sink training $ on and have stick around is probably a fair call

    Shit, I think I’m under paid for the hours I put in on salary and the shit I have to do





  • First off, no-one cares about you, except the staff. You may feel like every eye is on you, if they are it will only be a fleeting glance - everyone is more interested in if the nurse has called their name, not in you.

    Second, explain you anxieties to the nurse/doctors, ask questions etc. I hope you have a positive outcome.
