Trade Me Jobs category changes
We’re always looking for ways to improve how listings are categorised on Trade Me. Today we have made some changes to the category structure on Trade Me Jobs in order to help job hunters find relevant jobs more quickly. Some new categories have been added and some of our existing categories have been renamed or removed.
Any job listings on the site in categories that were renamed or removed have been automatically moved over into the most closely related updated category.
If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with us.
The Great New Zealand Santa Run
Around 100 Trade Me staffers dressed up in santa suits for the Great New Zealand Santa Run in Wellington yesterday. Despite the blustery winds and horizontal rain, the team did a top job bolting around the waterfront in an effort to raise awareness for the KidsCan charity. We’re also helping out by donating $1 to KidsCan for every new toy bought on Trade Me on Sunday 9 December (anticipated to be our busiest shopping day of the year).

Be a part of New Zealand history
We're creating a 100 year time capsule that will be buried under our Wellington office in early 2013 and will be dug up in 2113. If you want to be part of history and have something buried with the time capsule, this is what you need to do:
1. Grab a postcard
2. Write a special message to New Zealanders who will read it in 100 years
3. Post it to us at: Trade Me Time Capsule, PO Box 11042, Wellington 6011
We will try to include every postcard we receive before 31 December 2012 in the time capsule. Space is limited, so first in first served!
Upcoming changes to Trade Me Jobs categories
On 10 December we will be refreshing our current category structure on Trade Me Jobs. Some new categories will be added and several of our existing categories will be renamed or removed.
While the changes will be relatively minor, they should help our job hunters find relevant jobs more quickly.
Any job listings that are live on site when the changes kick in, and are listed in renamed or removed categories, will automatically be moved over into the most closely related updated category. This will happen for all affected listings, including those listed by a third party provider. More...
Introducing Rummage
We’ve launched a cool, new visual searching and browsing tool for Trade Me called Rummage today. We built it in conjunction with a pair of smart entrepreneurs in California, using the images from Gallery listings.
It’s a free, fun, simple way to look at Trade Me listings in a visually interesting way, and it works really well on mobile and tablet devices.
