Hi there out in the world and of course New Zealand!

I am new in the forum, this platform is truly great! Thank you for your help!

I am a 30 year old Swiss, I hold a diploma as hotelière, (swiss hotel management school) and I have several year experience as project manager in event business and incentive travel (tourism). I also worked for 1 year as a guide in Canada (outdoor, horsetrecks). Of course I speak several languages such as German, French, English and a bit of Spanish/Italian too.

I believe that compared to Switzerland, New Zealand has a much better field for outdoor-related jobs (guiding, horse-business, tourism in this field). So now to my questions:

How hard is it to find jobs in this business, how is this to be done, and can you make a living?

Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

I asked the same question a while back:

Dear Suzer

thanks, but this did not really help you concerning your questions about event-management, right? Did you win any new knowledge and how did your work-search go so far?

Thanks!

no but that's ok. i won't be in nz until next june...just trying to gain an idea on which cities might actually have decent jobs (although i am now hearing rumours that on bunac i can only work the same job for a few months, not the entire year grrrr....). looks like either auckland or wellington would be a good bet, and i'm leaning towards wellington now, although bf is not too keen on the weather.
