Just the Job is a TV series giving high school students a unique up-close and personal insight into the myriad of career paths on their doorstep and elsewhere in New Zealand.  We all know just how difficult it can be deciding exactly what career might suit us best.  That's where Just the Job steps in...  

Each series of 10 half hour episodes features three careers each programme, the series has been designed as an informative and entertaining tool to help secondary school students gain a first hand understanding of what happens "on the job".

Each week, students from the 14 to 18 year old age range try out their possible future careers.  By adding a mentor and some hands-on experience into the mix they have every chance to find out the pro's and con's of the job before deciding whether it's for them or not.

The series not only creates awareness of a variety of careers but shows what is available in one part of the country to young career seekers in another part of the country.   Just the Job helps students realise they have a raft of opportunities available to them and that they can have exciting, challenging careers if they just know where to look and get started.

Clinton Randell, a NZ Idol top 10 finisher, presents the lively introductions to each segment.  The great aspect of this programme is it demonstrates there is a lot more to particular careers than people may have ever thought.  Often preconceived ideas are just blown out of the water.

Career Services Advisors, Sarah McIndoe and Selwyn Insley wrap up each episode with some expert advice designed to help high school scholars kick start their own career investigations.
