1 year working holiday advice

7 years ago
Hi there,

My partner and I are flying out in September from UK on a year working holiday visa and we were wondering if you guys could give some advice.

We have a few nights booked into a hostel in Auckland but after that we have nothing set. We both have experience in hospitality work and primarily in theatre with my partner being a sound designer and myself with venue management experience.

-What is the best way to get jobs when we arrive?
-What is the best way to sort out accommodation in NZ? Should we organise this early on before we leave UK?
-Best places to go and live/work?
-Things to watch out for before or when we arrive?

Thank you, I appreciate any help.

:)
James
