Amazing day in Wellington today :D

Spent most of it walking around handing in CVs to shops. Anyone know of jobs in Wellington?

It seems all retail places want someone with retail experience but how do you get experience if no place will hire you without having experience?

Btw, I'm booked to come back to NZ on the 23rd. Going to buy a van in Aucks and drive back to Gisborne!
Fuck yeah, NZ here I come.

Will alert the schools in the area

Know somebody who applied for a retail job on seek, advertisement said ' experience not required', they got an email saying they were looking for someone who was more experienced than they were to fill the role( they had 4yrs exp)

WHAT THE FUCK.

tl;dr, become a hooker.

Just lie, and say you have experience. All you need to do is lie enough to get an interview, then from there, if you are the best person for the job, you will get hired.

Good idea^
Most of the time you will be given cash register training, eftpos is easy as... Looking busy is an artform however.
I've done quite a bit of retail tbh, just be all outgoing and friendly with closing the sale in mind.
