Would appreciate any links for employment in Hawkes Bay.

I havent got a degree and dont fall into the bracket of trades such as Doctor/Nurse/Engineer/teacher/electrician/plumber/brain surgeon etc.....

At the same time I think I'm better than flippin burgers/being a security guard/ manning a bar/working in a call centre doing cold calling......

I have done many searches on t'internet and apart from the usual seek/jobstuff - not much comes up. Theres even one website, I think its Hawkes Bay Jobs (original) and there was 1 (ONE) job listedwith over 600 people registered......

I think HB could be a pipe dream for the Mrs (her mum lives in Napier)

Then again - Im not too enthused by the Auckland rat race either (from experience)

Hope I dont sound like i'm moaning - Im just worried. My first choice of career is something to do with aviation (Flight Ops/Ground Ops and ATC) as thats where the bulk of my experience lies. I've been in touch with many companies and theyre all saying the same thing - companies have been laying people off so recruitment is zilch at the moment. Ive also looked at the RNZAF but there wouldnt be much I could do now until I get over there and even so Im not sure if I want another instalment of military life.

I am working for a construction company at the moment as a Plant Hire Manager. Basically communication and organisational skills are needed in my present role.(also a skin akin to a rhino and the patience of a saint are needed - comes in handy for a PR app)

Hope you can help/empathise/suggest etc

havent chosen it .....................yet.

My wife is a kiwi and her mother (and other members of her family) lives there so that will be our first port of call regardless of where we end up.

We could very well end up in Auckland due to more job opportunities.


It is nice in hawkes bay though.............just dont know if we'll be able to afford to live there.
