Re: Are you switching jobs?
. Thanks for your support. Just going from a post elsewhere, are you in Gulf Harbour ? I remember someone on here was planning a move.

Ah my mistake re: supply chain, maybe worth a discussion though as I found that in my area there was a complete difference of terminology around sales roles which took me ages to realise, although I'm sure that conversation has already happened.
No I'm not in Gulf Harbour, I'm on the North Shore.

Might just be the Christchurch clique then.
The one thing I might add is that the days of looking by job listings are probably over. It seems you might as well be throwing your application in a black hole often. If you are young or in tech or similar you are probably on LinkedIn which can work for some.
Many positions are still never advertised. It's a case of a company stumbling across a candidate they like more than filling a position they've created.

Re: Are you switching jobs?
I concur with this. OH has been under threat from redundancy for 9 months now. Should find out in October one way or another, it has been extremely stressful and continues to be. He started to look for other jobs in March and there is very little out there at his level and above. He's also been looking at other countries and very little appears to be happening there. One recruitment consultant in Australia mentioned that the best market to be looking at in his field is the UK!!!!
So it looks like we may have to return which on the one hand I'm delighted about (I'll be able to do a return to practice course & get my midwifery career back
) on the other, I shall miss a lot about NZ.
So no, no huge salary rises here.

It's always difficult to confront the possibility of a dream in decline.
Despite much self-delusion it is beyond our power to predict the future. Our ability to affect change is often only very modest. There will be moments in life we will be humbled by circumstance, our resilience will be tested.
Hopefully however there is a way to adapt, change and grow through this that will not compromise your kiwi dream. Most employees are so much more than their jobs, salaries or job titles bestowed upon them. To be human is to live with an inexhaustible well of talent and ideas, that itch to share them with the world.
