Joe Gray reckons 52 dozen beer and a strong work ethic will earn him an adult apprenticeship with a Wanganui employer.
The beer is part of a marketing tool the 28-year-old is using to find work and a new career path.
His novel approach featured in the classified advertising section of Saturday's Chronicle and will appear again in tomorrow's edition.
He's offering to provide the beer at the rate of a dozen bottles a week or in its entirety after he's been given a reasonable trial with his prospective employer. And for his part Mr Gray promises that he'll "work hard and learn fast".
As for the cost of his unique piece of self-promotion, Mr Gray said premium beer would cost him between $1100 and $1200 but cheaper options a bit less.
