When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in New Zealand, they reponded...

"It is a bit harder to find a job here than in the US. People use internet job listings, newspapers, and word of mouth. Numerous industries exist here. Small fashion designers seem to thrive in Wellington. One can find heaps of computer-industry jobs. The medical field is constantly searching for new employees. Government jobs also seem to be fairly abundant, as Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand," remarked another expat who made the move to Wellington, New Zealand.

"Foreigners often have jobs in New Zealand in a variety of industries, such as hospitality, tourism, agriculture, construction, and IT. They may also work in retail, education, and healthcare. Additionally, many foreigners find employment in the service industry, such as in restaurants, cafes, and bars," explained one expat living in New Zealand.
