What position are you applying for? Engineer?

I got my first job from the old Auckland City Council many years ago then shifted a number of departments in between so the questions they asked would be different I think.

However, I believe they would ask those normal behavioural questions (Time Management, Team Works, Problem Solving, etc), you will also need to make up some examples (god knows whether it is true or not~:) to demonstrate these I guess?

Of course, subject to the job you apply, u should also have some basic knowledge about what Council does.....check Auckland Council's website for details.

Good luck, there are a few Chinese in Council all over the region now and I m always wondering why Mr Flower does not initiate and organise a Council Chinese social club of some sort :)

Where would u have an interview? I know they have an office in 3 Kings if not Graham Street, or other area headquarters?

Your position is a technical one so just showcase your technical knowledge or how efficient you are in providing inputs, processing a request, etc.

They may also ask you how do you work with other teams as there are LOTs of departments within Council and CCOs (Council Controlled Organisations) that you may need to work with in this job...

All the best na.....

你的salary band 應該是G吧對嗎？

看過內部的通訊錄發現council和它的CCO 都好像挺多中國人名的有時想是不是應該建立個什麼華人市政府工作群之類什麼的呢

作者: EnviroEngineer 时间: 2011-4-17 14:04:29

言归正传，salary band G range是多少，让我negotiate也有个底呀

62k - 75k. It's not negotiable. First year 62K, then raises 3K every year until you reach 75K. Council has become less attractive, many of my collegue have left.

Is LS also from council? Also doing engineering job? How come you sound so familiar with this process? AND what is the market value of an engineer with some year of experience?

作者: ceddie 时间: 2011-4-18 12:54:10

Council福利...可以打感冒預防針? ...北岸/西區的好像巴士大約半價? 加入PSA好像有些租車, hotel等等之類有優惠? 還有每年聖誕節可能還能幫你要到個bonus之類的吧...

Yes I am actually part of AT. I am not sure of engineering but council's band system cannot attract quality people. We have had trouble in the past a couple of months with recruiting. I am doing a solution architect role in IT. Generally market rate is around 100K. Council pays much less than that.

Oh I see....another high-paid IT person,

I actually saw the jobs in your team are of quite high salary band, with H as the start with senior roles of " I " or more ...

I would say your team is one of the highest pay teams in the council's and its organisations, so if even you are not happy with your pay, we all could only {:7_365:} ......

Btw, you actually dont need to stick to councils/CCO as you have lot of choices elsewhere, not like us, our profession somehow pre-determines that council being largely the main choice....which council were you from before?
