Assisting one of the most talked-about positions in the New Zealand gaming industry is one of the week-long job positions on offer in a new employment programme launched by Internet job site search4jobs.co.nz.

The search4jobs 'Get-a-go-getter' promotion is well under way and entries are coming in for the two IT roles available:

Join the Xbox 360 team for a week as their Assistant Digital Lifestyle Evangelist - put your gaming skills and knowledge to the test against some of the industry's best.
Kick start your IT career with a week's experience as an IT assistant at Fisheye in Auckland.

Interested applicants are welcomed to jump on to search4jobs.co.nz to find out more information and send their CV via the online link up until next Friday, 6 April.

The roles offer a way for budding IT enthusiasts to get a foot in the door.

The Get-a-Go-Getter programme is recruiting young Kiwis for work experience in a variety of high interest jobs with leading New Zealand companies in three main centres. Work experience is available to go-getters studying for or otherwise partly qualified for the variety of positions on offer.

In addition to jobs with Paul Holmes, Saatchi & Saatchi and the Tui Brewery, search4jobs.co.nz is looking for people interested in fashion, IT, PR, hospitality, marketing, politics, journalism and more.

Search4jobs.co.nz director Jude Manuel says the only requirement is keenness to be involved. “While the employment market is pretty tight at the moment, go-getters often have trouble finding somewhere where they can get a good idea of what makes businesses or industries tick.

“We have approached a huge range of different industries and located a leading company in each field to establish a work experience opportunity for one successful candidate at each business. It’s the best way to find out if you’re really cut out for a particular industry or field and what it takes to get a job there.

"Obviously the positions will suit people studying for those industries or already experienced in them.”

Applicants should go to search4jobs.co.nz to find out what opportunities are available and then apply online.

Work experience opportunities are to be taken from Monday April 16 and last for one week. They are available across a variety of industries in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
