"Work in Porirua where there's lots of free parking!"
This would appeal to a lot of people living in London no doubt.
I didn't apply because:
- I'm not going to work in a town whose name I can't pronounce (too many "R"s)
- I'm not going to work in a country where I'm not allowed to work, i.e. New Zealand (though I'd like to)
- I don't drive.
They need another USP, e.g. "come to Porirua where there's lots of chocolate cake, blondes and we have an alternative, pronouncable name for immigrants from southern England".
A diary based on my latest attempts to get a job; this time in Munich. I'm an engineering graduate (and chartered engineer) with more than 10 years' experience in IT. Over five of these years have been spent in team leading and project management roles both in the UK and abroad.

Porirua = Pour - Ree - Roo - A.
A very nice place where most Pakeha (Brtiz) can actually pronoun the name.
