Greetings -

My good friend Kish owns a jewelry store on Cable Car Lane off Lambton Quay. Since the cruise ships are starting to come to Wellington, he needs help now to greet potential customers and invite them into his store.

Experience in the jewelry industry is not needed, for the position does not involve sales in the store. It calls for a person to stand in Cable Car Lane and inform the people standing in line to by a cable car ticket about the unique nature of the store. Consequently, Kish is looking for someone who is extroverted, charismatic, and comfortable with speaking to large groups of people.

Hours and days are highly flexible. Pay is $22.70 an hour. Please call or text Kish at 0210356223. He's really a good guy and you will enjoy working for him.

Best wishes - Michael

"The great thing about going back to a favourite place is that you are always guaranteed to see something a bit different every time. I couldn't get enough of the redpolls that I happened to spot bathing at the water's edge near the playground. It was magical!
Unfortunately the ducklings had gone from at least about 30 to none at all yesterday so I think that the kāhu would have been working his way through them.
Plenty of yellowhammers and rosellas to be seen too! I loved seeing the Australian shovellers up at the Bridge by the Hobbit sign."
