LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT
My name is Sakhi, I am originally from Afghanistan. I have been living in Christchurch since June. I have been sponsored by the Oaklands Group to settle in Christchurch and now I am a permanent resident. I am looking for up to 10 hours work per week (outside of 9am - 4pm) while I study English at ARA. I have a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering. While I was in Indonesia as a refugee I taught refugee children for about 10 years.
Please contact me on 020 486 2829 or my friend Geoff Siave. Geoff says: “Sakhi is keen to try anything and is particularly interested in the electrical area as he has a qualification from overseas, but is not acquainted with New Zealand systems. Sakhi is a good communicator and thinker, is physically able, and ready to go.”
