A logging company in Tokoroa looking for a capable worker has explicitly stated anyone using drugs need not apply.
G Hale Logging has advertised for an operator with a sign outside its work site explaining the position, but the advert included the warning, "if you're drug f***ed" don't bother applying", Fairfax reported.
"We'd normally advertise in the paper and go through the normal processes, but Tokoroa has a bad drug problem and you end up wasting a lot of time," Henry Hale told Fairfax.
Hale said he wouldn't be paying "peanuts" for the right person who could operate machinery to fell trees.
Otago man Duane Traffod took a similarly blunt approach when he advertised for a pest controller on Trade Me in October.
