What is LinkedIn and what does it do???
LinkedIn is the leading online professional directory of individuals and companies and has over 85 million members in more than 200 countries. LinkedIn is a professional networking
website, a bit like Facebook but to make connections with people in your industry.
What to do on LinkedIn???
One of the most important parts of LinkedIn is your profile. That's what you use to connect with people in your network and your profile is how you get found on LinkedIn, because it
contains information about your skills and experience.
How to Use LinkedIn to Find a Job - Or Have a Job Find You
1. Create a Profile. Create a detailed profile on LinkedIn, including employment (current and past), education, industry, and websites.
2. Consider a Photo. You can add a photo (a headshot is recommended to your LinkedIn profile. Note that it must be a small professional photo.
3. Keywords and Skills. Include all your resume keywords and skills in your profile, so your profile will be found.
4. Build Your Network. Connect with other members to build your network and create more career opportunities but remember only connect to people you know and trust or have a business relationship with, no need to go crazy and connect with everyone.
5. Get Recommendations. Recommendations from people you have worked with carry a lot of weight.
6. Search Jobs. Use the job search section to find job listings.
7. Use Answers. The Answers section of LinkedIn is a good way to increase your visibility. Respond to questions, and ask a question if you need information or assistance.
Think of LinkedIn as a Personal Branding platform but remember whatever you do on it, do it right.

Know Your Rights From customer service to sales, retail workers have hard and soft skills that can be
transferred to other jobs in the retail industry or a different sector. When you're
putting together your résumé or preparing for an interview, build upon the skills that
you've gained while working in or studying retail.
Skills gained from working in retail
Self-confidence: Retail involves approaching and helping a variety of people, so you
will build your confidence and feel more comfortable dealing with people in all ave-
nues of your life.
Customer service skills: Retail workers must be responsive to the wants and needs of
customers. They should explain the product options available to customers and make
appropriate recommendations.
People skills: A friendly and outgoing personality is important, because the job re-
quires almost constant interaction with people.
Persistence: A large number of attempted sales may not be successful, so sales work-
ers should not be discouraged easily. They must start each new sales attempt with a
positive attitude.

How big is the hospitality industry in NZ?
The NZ hospitality industry employs around 126,000 people. That’s nearly seven per cent of the workforce, so a career in hospitality is possible across a wide variety of workplaces.
What kind of hospitality places can I work in?
The hospitality industry includes cafés, bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants, catering com-panies, through to hotels, motels, backpackers, hostels, holiday parks, lodges, resorts, halls of residence, fast food outlets as well as sports and social clubs.
What qualities do you need to make it in the hospitality industry??
Hospitality is very much a people business, so good social and communication skills are key; employers are looking for personality and enthusiasm too. A can-do, positive atti-tude is very important, and is always a good base to build hospitality specific skills on.
What will I learn from hospitality??
Skills learnt in hospitality - working with people, teamwork, sales and problem solving - are the foundation skills for any successful career. You will also learn a lot about food, beverages and service. But most of all you will lot a lot about yourself.

NZMA’S NEW CAMPUS TAKES OUT TOP TITLE
IN NZ PROPERTY COUNCIL AWARDS
NZMA’s new Sylvia Park Campus took centre stage at the New Zealand Property
Council’s Rider Levett Bucknall awards on Friday night.
Held at the Viaduct Events Centre, the ceremony celebrates the best of the country’s
property sector. NZMA was amongst the chosen few, earning an Award of Excellence
in the Coffey Education and Arts Property category, competing against big players
such as Victoria University and AUT.
NZMA’s Chief Executive Rosanne Graham was thrilled that NZMA is not only leading
the way in the cookery, hospitality and education sectors, but is also gaining recogni-
tion in the fields of architecture and design.
“This is a wonderful achievement, and really highlights the leading-edge facilities we
offer our cookery and hospitality students,” she said.
The new campus – previously an industrial space – was designed by Matthew God-
ward, from Godward Design Space.

Students declared bankrupt after
their rental property burns down
Four students who were
sharing a flat decided to
go to the pub. The fifth
student stayed behind.
They left a pot on the
stove and fell asleep.
Although they woke
soon after, the fire was
well established and not
able to be put out. 3
minutes later, the stu-
dent watched from the
front lawn as the flat
burned down.
Damage to rental prop-
erty is the responsibility
of the tenant.
All 5 students were
equally liable for the
damages because they
were all named on the
residential tenancy
agreement they signed
when moving into the
house.
If the tenants had per-
sonal liability insurance
the cost to them could
have been $500 rather
than $500,000.
Speak to insurance com-
panies for details on
their policies. For tenan-
cy information visit

or call 0800 TENANCY
(0800 83 62 62).
