Default New to the forum and loads of questions

Hi All

Totally new to the forum, just found it whilst researching moving to NZ.

Well last year was a bad year for me, gave up my job in the UK due to ill health in the family and a few other reasons. Were due to take two months trip to NZ and South Africa then the OH employeer said no at the last min so we cancelled.

Anyway i went to the NZ expo last year and got talking to a company and since then have had several "phone confrence" intervies with them and various emails. They seam keen and have taken references up as well and looking at puting a package together.

I am an Environmental Engineer with 10 years UK experience in Waste Management.

Many question if anyone can hep with any of them:

1) The position will be based in Manukau City, were do we live? I want a beach/rural area and dont mind a reasonable commute, been doing it for 10 years so to get the house and lifestyle i don;t mind doing it some more.

2) What is Manukau city like? Heard it is developing and moving up-market? Is this the case.

3) Best route of entry working visa residency? my OH ony wants to move for 2 years but i think once were there then we will stay.

4) Pets, we have a dog, looked at the other posts. What are the approx charges and how long does it take.

5) Salary expecations and assitance to move. I earn ?47k in the uk. Will i get anywhere near this. Plus my wife has'nt a job offer so will need to find work once out. Is this easy. She does work in a similar field to me.

6) THANKS FOR GETTING THIS FAR



Dale
