Remarkable people
Labour exchange
DKW
Adecco
How to get it done
Sign up with all the recruitment agencies available
Tell them you want casual positions
Get contacted and say YES
OR
Labour exchange is a good one (CENTRAL AUCKLAND) because you will get a new job every day at a different building site. You just walk in at 6-8am. I helped with building a skyscraper, a bridge, a school, luxury villa and apartments and met some real OGs there. Like ACTUAL ex-gangsters, bank robbers, stabbers, murderers...
I know the man who did this:
Craziest job goes to…..
-Working in -30 degrees in a hull of a fishing boat carrying boxes of fish in 12 hour shifts
Lessons learnt:
In any area where there’s real money like the building industry and export industry 90% of people working are men. Everything you see around you was built by men. It’s just physically a lot harder and you get exhausted very quickly. Hence the “unadjusted wage gap”, OBVIOUSLY.
A few lessons learnt about cultures of different nations. E.g. Working with Phillipinos was a very silent experience. Those motherfuckers just don’t talk and are hard AF.
Most men live miserable lives of slaves in sexless marriages and hate their wives, spending money on kids who don’t respect them. BIG MISTAKES.
New Zealanders aren’t all that friendly as everybody thinks, it’s a myth.
Time is the fire in which we all burn, they want you as an obedient slave.
As my teacher says: “Resist the slave mind.”
BONUS LESSON: WILLINGLY BEING POOR
The most important lessons come from being broke. If you were silver-spooned your entire life like me, you'd understand.
TL,DR/Summary
Making money working for a recruitment agency is a terrible idea. I earned about $6000. You earn minimum wage and it’s very slow. Better find some fucking cheat codes you know what I’m sayin’?
I did it to understand how the REAL WORLD functions. university won’t ever give you this knowledge and working for only a few companies will skew your idea about the workplace.
There’s a few lessons in there though and you learn a lot of skills. The whole concept is based on the pimps-hoes-tricks pyramid. I was a hoe this time and I knew about it heading into it and I got pimped. I learnt how to be a hoe, change pimps and play the tricks. Such is the way of hoeing.
