Earn $50 by helping us to test a document

Eleanor from Island Bay

Are you coming to central Wellington to do your Christmas shopping in the next few weeks? Would you like to earn a $50 grocery voucher in return for an hour of your time?

We're looking for people to test some documents for us. If you’re keen to help out, you’ll come to our office on Lambton Quay for 1 hour where we'll ask you questions about a document and record your feedback and impressions.

Broadly, we're looking for people who DON’T work in the public sector (eg, a government department). If you live outside of Wellington, even better!

Specifically, we’re interested if you’re any of the following.

1. A home owner who lives on the flat or in areas prone to flooding

2. Younger than 30 and not Pākeha

3. A small-business owner who pays rates

In return for your help, we'll give you a $50 grocery voucher. Imagine what goodies you could add to your Christmas table with that?

If you're interested, reply to this post or contact Melissa on Melissa.Mebus@write.co.nz.
