[gavinvero]

FIRST OF ALL A BIG THANK YOU TO TAFFY AND NONNIE AND ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS REPLIED TO MY PREVIOUS QUESTIONS
YOU ALL HELPED THANK YOU

I UNDERSTAND A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THEAPPLICATION PROCESS AND SO ON
I HAVE APPLIED FOR APPROX 8 JOBS 6 HAVE COME BACK SAYING THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER ANYONE WITHOUT THE RIGHT TO WORK IN N.Z
THIS IS A DIFFUCULT EXPERIENCE IF THEY WILL NOT GIVE ANY JOB OFFERS UNTILL YOU GAIN RESIDENCY
THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU RESIDENCY UNTILL YOU GAIN THE 50/60 POINTS FROM THIS TO TAKE YOU OVER THE 100 MIN REQUIRED

CAN SOMEBODY POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HOW DO YOU MAKE IT ALL FIT IN

Get over here, get a job, get a work permit and then apply for residency! Sounds easy doesnt it?!

Seriously though, if you are having a hard time getting work, this way is a good option.

Hi ::):

If you can afford to go that's the best option but it's not impossible to get a job whist still in England, my OH managed. The Kiwi's seem to prefer a more personal approach and we found more doors were opened for us when we phoned, tried the CV route to no avail.
Hope this helps ::):

I'm in a similar boat tbh. Don't want to hijack the thread but hopefully we can work this out. I plan to come over in June for 3 weeks, unless I can get them to accept my marketing qualification and/or A-Levels or GCSE's I'm going to have to get a job first too. However this is a problem too, sales and marketing seem to be rolled into the same role as if I'm just a sales rep or a telemarketer, this is frustrating as it couldn't be further from the truth. Surely there is a skill shortage in this area in New Zealand with such a young economy, marketers are in short supply in the UK let alone everywhere else, so I'm a bit baffled as to why it's not on any of the skill shortage list. I can see this being a rocky journey but we will make it. Any help would be much appreciated.
