Moving to Wellington, New Zealand

chanakyajupudi

I have been posting questions about moving to New Zealand in the forum for about 6 months and have now finally gone ahead and applied for a course in Wellington.

The course is a Level 7 Graduate Diploma In Information Assurance and Security ( Translates to the 4th year of a Technology Degree ) at Wellington Institute of Technology.

Today I received my Visa. I booked my tickets for the 24th of February. I intend to study there and work after that and settle in New Zealand itself. Maybe move to Australia in a few years.

Personally I have no responsibilities. Single also.

This post is to know if anyone out there is from Wellington in particular and New Zealand in general as I will be looking for jobs as soon as November this year and part time from March or April !

Any guidance or suggestions are welcome. I am from India and I am moving to a foreign country not for the first time though.

Cheers

No advice but I wish you luck with the move! I don't think you'll have any problem finding a job with your experience & certs.

It's a cool city to spend your 20's in i'll give it that. The only bad things about it is it isn't auz (you'll see what i mean once you're there) and the wind blows sideways. For a government town (lots of latte sippers)you shouldn't have too much trouble landing contracts especially if you're into security. Landing full time is harder if you don't have residency. I don't know how it is lately but getting to work in the morning can be bad if you live out of town only one way in and out.
Make sure you visit queenstown it's one of the best places on earth.
