Tips for writing a great job post

A clear description helps a tasker turn up prepared. Here is what to include when posting a handyman job:

Describe the job clearly

What exactly needs fixing, hanging or assembling? The more specific you are, the better taskers can prepare.

Materials and parts

Let taskers know if you have the parts, brackets or fittings available, or whether they need to source them. Some taskers are happy to pick up materials as part of the job.

Tools available

Mention if you have tools on site or whether the tasker needs to bring their own. Most handypeople come fully equipped.

Access

Any details about getting to the job, such as tight spaces, outdoor work, or whether it is up a ladder.

Photos

A photo of the gate, shelf, door or item helps taskers see exactly what they are dealing with and quote accurately.

Location

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

Preferred date and budget

When you would like the job done and a rough budget. Small jobs can often be slotted in quickly.
