[quote:53695cc977="Lil Amy"]Congratulations!
:icon_biggrin:

Just out of interest, hubby and I are both in IT, did you look for any IT jobs out of the big cities?

I dont want to stay in AKL and it seems all the contract IT jobs are there at the moment. I want to stay somewhere smaller. Any experiences that you went through or advice would be great....[/quote:53695cc977]

A little bit. I would have really liked to have gone to the Hawkes Bay (Napier/Hastings), but there wasn't much out that way.

Dunedin, Queenstown, Hamilton, and Palmerston North may be some of the better areas outside of the 'big 3'.

To get an idea you can try going to www.jobstuff.co.nz and just searching IT jobs (without a specific job area) and see how many IT jobs come up in that part of the country. I was surprised when I found more in Welly than in Yuckland.
