We'll be there for a year. I'm looking to work in conferencing or tourism and the man is in IT. I'm leaning more towards Auckland, although Wellington & Christchurch have been mentioned.

Have you tried looking on Seek to see if there are any vacancies in the sector you want?
It's not really my area, so I can't offer much more help I'm afraid. I do know people in corporate sponsorship and event management though, if that would be an area of interest?

[suzer]

Event management is spot on...so it would be very helpful:)

I haven't heard of Seek?

suzer I thought I'd just put this link up on your thread if you don't mind?

http://www.emigratenz.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3772&highlight=agencies that's a huge list of agencies made by Dazza, lots of IT ones but it may be of help to you and others.

HTH.

just wondering also---do any of you have thoughts on how difficult it may be to find a full-time job for one year?

[sarahw]

Either you take a job on a 1 year contract, (these are about) or you take a full-time permanent position & resign after a year.

If you're looking for event management/conferencing/tourism have you considered working at Te Papa? (national museum in Wellington) - that would be a very cool place to work - lots of cultural stuff as well as your usual run of the mill events/conferences.

looks like an interesting place, thanks. they will know my visa status when they interview/look at my passport, so i couldn't do the latter. we have yet to decide which city we'll be movin to as well.

[suzer]
