From First Up, 5:45 am on 11 November 2022

Over two thousand jobs across multiple sectors will be on offer at an Auckland job expo at Mount Smart stadium today. Job seekers will even get the chance to see what the jobs in hospitality, health, transport and contact centres might look like through the use of virtual reality experiences. The expo comes with unemployment at just 3.3 per cent and businesses across New Zealand facing more competition for staff amid soaring costs. With the Rugby World Cup semi and final tomorrow we sent our reporter Leonard Powell out to see how businesses around Eden Park have been faring.
