IF you have a job for a first time job seeker, we want to hear from you.

News Corp has launched a national campaign with Seek to create 5000 jobs in 50 days for first-time job seekers. We want to kickstart the careers of a generation that is experiencing sustained high levels of unemployment.

Darwin business owners and brothers Craig and Glen Ferguson are currently looking for first time skilled employees to join their business of 30-years Auto-Care Panelworks.

Craig said his business of 16 employees, including four 457-visa workers, was currently looking for skilled workers to add to their business.

“There is a lot of job satisfaction ... sometimes clients will ring up and tell the boys what a great job they’ve done,” he said.

Our stories will provide advice and inspiration for job seekers and celebrate those companies employing new staff.
