Just back from NZ
:icon_biggrin:
In answer to all those questions. Yes i am with an agency Beresford Blake and thomas but i havent used them i have to say im not that patient so have done it off my own back. Had sent off my cv to alot of hospitals before going and also i went to the expo and made sure everyone knew who i was. From the expo Liz hill from match group put me in contact with the ED manager in Christchurch and i promised to call in. However most places wanted me to stop by once they knew i would be holidaying so i explained that it was after all a holiday and as i had my kids and parents with me it wouldnt be fair to go to every hospital so we agreed i would go to the hospitals that were in an area we liked. To cut a long story short loved christchurch and phoned them towards end of holiday and got telephone interview so i would hopefully come back to UK with job offer just waiting my references now. I also just called in to New Plymouth and introduced myself to ED manager who was very interested. To get around NZ we had a camper van arranged in Uk before we left and it was a fantastic way to get round. If we liked somewhere we stayed a few days if we didnt we moved on. My advice is you cant plan it you have to see when you're there and everyone has different ideas on what they like so take no notice of anything anyone tells you (ha ha why am i writing this then?) And it just goes to show before we went i had kinda settled on living in north island but when we got there south island is by far the prettiest and where we now want to be. So enjoy yourself and take it as it comes. We were there for 21 nights in total and saw most of what we wanted to see. Hope this helps
