Have a read of Other Migrants' Stories to see how other people found their jobs in New Zealand.

Some had an offer of employment simply by being pro-active and contacting employers, and thus applied first for a work visa or resident’s permit.  Others waited until they were here to start their search.  And still others visited New Zealand first and made contact with employment recruitment specialists to get a feel of where they wanted to work and the opportunities available before making the big move.

If you are just starting your career, New Zealand may well give you a jump start, providing you with hands-on experience and even management opportunities you may not see for years back home.  And if you are a self-starter, that skill is valued here.  If you bring middle or senior management experience, your ability to help train and show New Zealander’s new techniques will be of great value to the economy.
