Hi All

Not the group from the 80's!

I'm hoping to go to NZ early next year.
I only work as an administrator, have no family either living in NZ or going with me.
I don't have a job offer.
I have about £20000 available to take.

Any opinions on how difficult it will be to get a job, where to go (I'm thinking Wellington as I work in Government) or anything?

Cheers
Jon

Hi John

Just to say that most jobs in local government in NZ are advertised on a 'only apply if you have a valid work permit' basis. I got mine as my husband works in a shortage occupation, so I got an open permit to work in NZ. There is a government jobs website - try a search.
Are you young enough for a Working holiday visa - might be a way in to administration type jobs? Best of luck anyway.

Hi

No I'm not young enough for a working holiday scheme (34 this month).

I noticed most Government jobs are only for those with a valid permit, I think I'll just have to go and look for a job in administration outside government & hope things work from there.

Any advice on a salary required to live in Wellington? I'm single and don't expect to live the high life.

Cheers
Jon
