NewZealand employment

[Joe williams]

Hi guys I’m looking to head to Newzealand to work and was wondering if anyone new any good companies in Auckland and reasonable accommodations or any sort of package you can get out of a company to work there? Really how it all works for someone on a working visa…?

There was someone on South Island looking for climbers in the last couple of months. Just keep scrolling back through the pages till you find them. Why do you want Auckland? It just like any other Cosmopolitan town! If you have no joy there just Google tree companies and contact them. New Zealand are opening up their migrant worker requirements so you should have some success. 
As far as visa requirement go to New Zealand web sites.

I just thought it would be a place to go if that’s where other English climbers have headed, I want to be in a fun city really near the sea. Just gotta travel about I guess till I find the right spot.

I spent a year in New Zealand, worked in Christchurch back in 2001. Still regret returning.

As far as Auckland being a fun city it no different to any UK city, good parts, bad parts and pitsville. It’s got traffic when you commuting to work same as cities here. Having been all over North and South Island I’d personally go South. It’s got beautiful countryside, great biking roads, mountains and some of the best skiing in the world, oh! and work as well.
