The schedule is complete and by the end of today the flights will be booked! I have 7 confirmed appointments (the bulk of which are in Wellington) and a lot of keen people to talk to me. I redid my CV based on feedback I’d received and lengthened it from a very British 3 pages to a very NZ 5 pages, which detailed all of my experience and qualifications attained. It’s also a requirement to include 2 referees/references on your CV as these are taken up before a job is offered, unlike the UK where it’s hit and miss.
So, I fly out to NZ from Heathrow on Thursday 28th, touch down in Auckland on Saturday 30th and then the schedule is as below with me returning to Manchester (via Auckland, Sydney, Bangkok and Heathrow) on Saturday morning. That’s a lot of flying (and no doubt a lot of money) so I need to make sure it’s all worthwhile.
Lost in the pursuit of a job is that I need to ensure that NZ is the kind of place that Jules, Ted and I want to live! Pretty important that one. So I’ll be taking some time to find out what the respective cities are like, what the transport links are, what the house prices are like and so on. I’m going to tap up each of the agency people I meet for information as well especially as a couple of them are ex-pats.
