Does anyone know the best way to find a job as a carpenter/set-builder/kitchen installer?

My partner is struggling to find work.

He could have a look on these...
Working in NZ. It says at the top that these companies are looking for carpenters, but I don't know in what capacity.
Job Search.
Seek which tends to be a favourite.
New Zealand Recruit.

Hope he hasn't tried these already.

If he wants to pay someone to find him a job, you could try New Life New Zealand . They are in touch with many companies and are actively trying to get immigrants into NZ jobs.

Tell him to go and see the carpentry tutors at your local trades college. I think it's AUT in Auckland, but a quick search on the 'net will see you right. Anyway, the tutors will have good connections with the local trade companies because part of their role is to find placements and jobs for their pre-trade students. Get your partner to go even if he's got a hatful of carpentry qualifications because the tutors will at least know which companies are recruiting and they will know the names of the people he needs to speak to. It is often said that NZ is a club. You just have to squeeze in through the door.
