Hello Everyone,

I really hope you all can help me.

I'm 23 years old, U.S citizen, looking to live in NZ for a couple of years. I have my Bachelors degree in Spanish Language and Literature (I'm fluent in both English and Spanish) as well as a minor in education. I have experience teaching and currently I am a career counselor for a training program. :confused:

I'm looking to move to NZ, but don't know where to start. I've visited the NZ gov't website on employment but am having trouble finding info on job opportunities in my field. Any suggestions?

Also it might be easier for me to travel through a program, does anyone have any suggestions or links?

Thank you all so much!
Ali :)

Maybe I misunderstand what your field is, but if it's teaching, here's what my favorite teacher wrote,

"I'm still figuring out this process, too, so I'll be watching this thread.

The single most helpful site I've been directed to for teaching jobs is
the Education Gazette:
http://www.edgazette.govt.nz/

I check it daily--it updates jobs available in all of NZ daily. You can check by region/city and by school type (elementary or secondary, for example). Each ad has a link to the school's info--decile rating, website if they have one, etc. Each ad always tells who to contact for application--usually principal's email address.

Check it out--you'll be impressed as it is "one stop shopping" in my opinion for a teaching job. I click on "jobs available in the last 48 hours" for updates that are added. Note, too, that this is a government website, so reliable source of info.

Otherwise, try the search engine...top of the page. There's a lot of stuff already written on almost every job area.
