Question about work in NZ? No trade

    Hi there,

    Sorry I know work threads can be done to death but I was searching through the past ones and couldn't find an answer. I was wondering how difficult it is to find office work in NZ? I'm currently a business analyst but happy to do any sort of office work within reason, are employers willing to hire working holiday visa holidays? Also is it best to stick to the big cities? Thanks a million in advance!

    Hi

    I think you'll be ok. Im based in Auckland and know a few people who have come across on WHV and managed to secure work in their area of expertise, not just any old office work.
    Check out Seek.co.nz.

    You should be fine - use Seek and put your CV out to some agencies (Hays, Manpower etc) Kiwis are also using LinkedIn, so try and reach out there too.

    Plenty of folk come in a working holiday visa, and have a great time, eventually settling down. You'll be viewed more positively than other visitors as you speak English as a first language.

    Ive heard it can be quite hard to get work while outside the country so maybe hold of applying while in Ireland. Just have the CV up to date and the references in check for when you get here.

    Another thing I recommend it to give yourself a little time when you get here to see this beautiful country. I work with a lot of people we recruit from abroad. They land here and start work straight away and dont venture very far from Auckland.
