Opportunities

In Government Administration for Arts, Commerce and Law Graduates

The Public Service administrator is the key man in a massive organisation that manages many of New Zealand's largest enterprises. His knowledge of the techniques of management and administration is often unequalled by his counterparts in other industries and services. Graduates joining the administrative side of the Public Service are starting careers which may well rapidly lead to challenging and rewarding jobs at the top of some of New Zealand's largest, most complex and most important organisations.

The Public Service administrator is a planner, a co-ordinator and a supervisor of large and important national undertakings, ranging from the design and building of giant power schemes to the expansion of social services, or to tourist promotion. Most important, he is a man whose well-trained mind can analyse difficult problems and make decisions. He plays a vital part in projects and activities that affect the lives of every New Zealander living or unborn.
