Best Applicant Will Get the Job Why should you worry about this? The answer is that more and more Maori youths must go to the cities to find suitable employment, and it is in the cities that they have to compete for jobs. It is at this stage that their abilities and school record receive a close look—and it is here that sound planning shows up. The world is becoming more and more technically inclined, and to get such jobs youths must prepare themselves adequately. Maoris must qualify like Pakehas so that they can compete with the Pakehas. Quality of performance is what employers are looking for, and the best applicant, Maori or Pakeha, will get the job. This is why you should worry! There are several other Maoris who, like the author of this article, have positions as Vocational Guidance Officers. They are Miss Maria Mako in Auckland, Mrs C. E. Papesch and Mr Bob Koroheke in Hamilton, and Miss Pani Witana in Napier.
