EMeetE

Out of work for six months or more?

This is a short, anonymous survey run by EMeetE, a smart New Zealand job-matching platform. We're asking people who have been out of work for an unexpected period of time how they're managing, so we can share a clearer picture of what long-term job hunting looks like. It should take about three minutes.

It isn't a statistical survey: it only reflects the people who choose to answer. We don't ask for your name, so please don't include names or employers in your answers. Your individual answers are deleted within 60 days; we keep only overall counts and anything you've agreed to let us quote in our blog(s).

More about your data
  • This survey is run by EMeetE. Questions: kit@emeete.co.nz.
  • Answers are stored in a private database with our hosting provider, Supabase. No name, account or IP address is stored with them.
  • To stop spam we use a scrambled one-way code made from your connection and the date. It can't be turned back into an address. Like any website, our web host's routine server logs can briefly see connection details.
  • There are no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts on this page. The page just loads its text fonts from Google Fonts, as many websites do.
  • When you submit, one small cookie is saved on your device to remember you've answered. It doesn't store anything about you.
  • The email box at the end is optional. If you use it, your email is kept separately from your answers, with no link between them. Kit will contact you first and ask before any next step, and your email is never passed to anyone without your explicit consent.
  • Answers and emails are deleted within 60 days of submitting. They may sit in routine hosting backups for a short while after that. We keep only overall counts and any quote you've agreed to.
  • Because answers are anonymous, we can't find or withdraw one afterwards.
