Hi there!
I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself...I found this website today...and so glad I did, to hear people going through what I am at the moment!
I currently live in London, but my boyfriend lives in Auckland...after a year long distance romance, I decided that I should take the plunge to move to be with him...and also nearer my eldest sister who has held residency in New Zealand for over 20 years, and loves it!
I have been lucky to get a job offer in Auckland in a scientific sales role, and submitted my EOI in April. I was drawn, and my ITA came through beginning of May. I have my police check back today (hurray!) all good, and just need to collect my medical so that I can send this off next week (phew!!!)....in the meantime, I am also applying for a work permit so that I can get out there working as soon as possible!!
SO many balls to keep in the air at the same time (as well as work stresses and strains in the Uk...and how to broach the news to a non sympathetic employer)...but I know it will be worth it in the end! Good to see others in a similar situation...and what a great idea this website is! Bit of a lifesaver for me at the moment!!
