Hi Everyone
I've looked over a few of the previous posts with regards to the above topics but haven't found any answers to my specific questions so I do hope I'm not just repeating questions that have been rehashed several times (sorry if I am).
We are just about to submit our ITA with no job but thought it would be better to get a job before we arrive in NZ so that we know we have some sort of financial security upon arrival.
Is is common to get a job before you arrive in NZ without ever meeting your employer or will I need to fly over for interviews etc? Happy to do this but obviously better not to as the cost is crippling.
Did anyone use any Teacher recruitment agencies and if so, can you recommend anyone and did you have success with them?
Can you apply directly to schools? Are they iffy about you not having perm residence yet or are they happy to just know that you have submitted your ITA?
If we get a job when would I be expected to start? What is the norm? We haven't actually got an arrival date yet but if we get a job then we'll obviously speed things up a bit and get over there as quickly as possible but it will probably still take 3 or 4 months to get everything sorted.
I would be most grateful for any answers or advice that anyone can give me.
Thanks for your continued help and support everyone
