You guys can fight it out on the Saturday one - I'll just be happy to take the Yacht, the Audi, the Bach, the Porsche, and $5 million!  :2funny:

Hmmm, I have heard/read various things about how easy/difficult it is to get a job in NZ.  My partner is a skilled worker (fitter) with a large corporate FMCG, we are hoping he will get something quickly.  I work in Sales for another large corporate FMCG (both FMCG's are also in NZ) - not sure if we are allowed to mention company names on this forum.  I see on the EOI that a Legal Secretary and a General Secretary are on the skills list...which is great, as when I left school, I needed a 'gap' year and completed a Commercial Diploma or Secretarial Diploma.  I am just hoping that when we get there, that we don't battle to get jobs.

Could you not perhaps organize a transfer for either one of you??? Just a thought, SAKB

@SAKB - we have tried both companies in NZ, they are keen, but want us to have PR first...so back to step 1 for us!

Pity you couldn't wangle a job offer out of 1 of them.  :gl: Cheers, SAKB.
