When I qualified as a painter around a year ago, it was really difficult to find work. Employers all wanted work experience, which I naturally didn’t have as I had only just graduated. Then I found permanent work at Kaarea.

Everything has gone well at Kaarea, and employees are appreciated. For example, I have two school-aged children and have been able to flexibly arrange childcare, healthcare, and other errands with Kaarea. You don’t have to take your work home with you at the end of the day.

Municipal wages are always compared with private-sector wages, of course, but my own time and ability to cope at work are more valuable to me, plus I don’t have to bring my work home. A young person’s first job is always important, and Kaarea’s flexible hiring approach for young people is great. I highly recommend it.
