Hi all,
I'm moving over to NZ at the end of 2013, but I have no work experience and no industry to call my own as i've just finished my degree (graduate this July). How impossible is it for me to find work in the translation/interpreting industry without any more experience than my degree and the odd piece of "do me a favour" work for friends and family?
I don't care whereabouts in NZ I live, but I would hate to work in an industry that doesn't make any use of my languages (Spanish, Arabic & Portuguese, in case you're wondering).
I only have about 3 or 4 months this year to work before I go, but I won't be able to get any real experience in anything in this time, and i'm stuck in that old circle of "no experience = no job, no job = no experience".
I've signed up to countless job-search sites but nothing seems geared to much more than IT and HR, which I have NO experience in!
Any words of advice?
