Karma sent for that alone! Hi Fi and Rich!

Welcome to BE.

I'm in IT and with just my points, without a job offer, we're at 130, but are reluctant to go without a job offer, so we're going to work on that on our recce trip in April.

Welcome again to the site!

Oh bollocks. I forgot to mention that Caroline, aka "Am Loolah", is in your neck of the woods. She's married to a Kiwi and going through the process of moving to NZ too.

We are looking to move to NZ early 2008, and at the moment trying to get as much information together as possible.

I personally haven't visited NZ but my partner spent 2 weeks about 4 years ago and loved it, he also loved OZ and we spent 3 weeks there back in October but felt it wasnt for us and love the idea of NZ.

So thats a bit of the basics and we are just really looking forward to finding out whats needed and where we need to start on all the paperwork......

Welcome to the forum

Good luck with the paperwork and all the best.

Re: Another new person...

Hello. Welcome. Here's some jobs I just saw on seek.co.nz http://www.seek.co.nz/jobsearch/acco...tindustry=1200
It might be an idea to get your Accounting Technician qualification assesed by NZQA (google.co.nz) before you come over. I didn't come this route so don't have all the ins and outs but someone else will have

In reality NZ employers won't really don't/won't recognise UK AAT as a worthwhile qualification, they are in the main only interested in in seeing NZICA.

Hi Georgina & Andy. Just came across your message of support and liked the sound of you. We too are about to embark on unfamiliar territory and begin applying for emigration to NZ, so any help or advice would be great.
