Tips for writing a great job post

A clear post helps you find someone ready for the work. Here is what to include:

What the work involves

Describe the physical task clearly, such as digging, clearing, lifting or stacking. The more specific, the better taskers can gauge the effort needed.

How long the job will take

A rough time estimate such as "about 3 hours" or "a full day" helps taskers plan and quote.

Tools available

Let taskers know if you have shovels, wheelbarrows, barrows or other gear on site, or whether they need to bring their own.

Physical demands

Be honest about the level of effort involved, such as heavy lifting, repetitive work, or working in heat or rain, so taskers know what to expect.

Photos

A photo of the area or materials helps taskers see the scope, such as a pile of soil to shift, a section to clear, or a wood stack to build.

Location

Your town or area in the Wairarapa so local taskers can find your post.

Preferred date and budget

When you need the help and a rough budget or hourly rate. Labour jobs are often time-sensitive, so mention your timeframe.
