Thanks guys!
The thing is that the nz immigration website states
'If you have been in this relationship for less than a year, initially we can only grant you a work visa or permit for up to 12 months. Once you are here, you can apply for further work permits for a total stay of up to two years from your arrival, if:
you and your partner want to stay longer in New Zealand and can show us that you are still in a genuine and stable relationship, or
you apply for residence as a partner.'
I gather they mean an open permit which means I can work for anyone and are not bounded to one company. I do plan to go over and look for work a.s.a.p as I'm sure this will help my application. But if I do not get work I'm hoping I will still be qualifying for a temporary permit until my partner and myself have been living for long enough so I can apply for P.R
