Hi, my name is Fearghal i'm from Armagh in Ireland,and I would like to know what the job situation is like in New Zealand at the moment, i'm a experienced overseas worker having lived and worked for years in Boston and New York and have a lifetimes experience at roofing as well carpentry. In recent years I have worked in the civil service but because of huge cut backs I find myself currently in a job which pays the bills but which I dislike. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try www.immigration.govt.nz for visa information and applications. There is a skills list which the govt is looking for. There is a working holiday visa as well. 

For jobs try www.seek.co.nz

Thanks very much
