Hi Guys.. Just wondering if its better to have a job offer first before applying for residence as I got qualifications. Or apply for work permit and come over to NZ.

Dont know how to put a new post...sorry


Thanks.

HI Guys. I am a nurse for about 15 years in NHS UK. I have broke up with my ex husband and I just want to start fresh in NZ.
Please can anyone help me what to do first. I have checked the points system and it looks like I can apply for skilled migrant . But I don't seem to find job that will offer me. So was thinking, would be wise to be patiently look for job first or apply the residence permit and find job when I get there in NZ?
Hope to get some input to anyone please.

Many Thanks.

I will move this to the Nz forum for you as I feel you will gain better chat there.
