If you want to live and play in New Zealand, you’re going to want to find a job.  The good news is there’s always seasonal work going, plenty of jobs in hospitality and all kinds of other work coming up all the time.  And the better news, it should be easy to find work once you get your feet on the ground in New Zealand.

A few tips…

• Make sure you have a current Curriculum vitae (CV) or resume (Check out CVcompany.co.nz or SEEK.co.nz for some helpful tips)
• Do lots of research. The more you know the better, right?
• See each contact in New Zealand as a networking opportunity.  Kiwis are very helpful, and they will pass your name along to others if they believe you have something to offer – you never know!
