I needed to use Jobseeker support when I graduated uni just before Covid began. I found the jobseeker sessions really unhelpful and demeaning. The job hunting resources are outdated, it would be better to have a career coach do the sessions instead. I ended up saving my jobseeker support to do just that and ended up getting significantly more replies to my modernised CV after having a career coach revamp it. MSD doesnt care about helping people into jobs suitable for them, they just want you on any random available job. I also want to add that when youre not getting a lot of support, the cost of transport to travel to these sessions is really expensive. Its also taking time away from when you could be applying to jobs, and taking money away from your food/rent/utilities.

The Riccarton staff has been outstanding, especially my case manager. I had no problems with security. I found them very helpful when they asked me what services I was looking for. The reception didn't help me that much since I knew what I needed. I called ahead first to find out what documents I needed to bring.

They're trying their best. Unfortunately, it's no where near enough. I was seeking emergency housing as my current living arangment is no longer adequate. I was given a list of places that were supposedly reliable, however the only ones that weren't full to capacity were either "not looking for temporary tenancy" or were just not publicly accessible. Again, I understand that currently they might be run off their feet but still, I expected more than this when someone asks for EMERGENCY relocation.
