we escaped Immingham
The one thing I would say about Christchurch is find a nice area to live in then look for fab jobs around the driving time you will do, we hit the problem of that every job OH went for was over an hour drive away from where we wanted to live, and going from a 6min drive to where he worked in Ming it was too much, we live about 20 mins out of Invercargill now, my job is 10 mins away and OH drops me on his way into town. everyone was friendly in CHCH, but I got my dream of land and horses moving down here so alls good.
good luck i am sure you will have to choose which job to take!

I've travelled around both islands on holiday over a year ago and since putting things into place to make the move i've decided Chch is the place for me
Knocking on doors upon arrival is my next plan if i havnt managed to set anything up before hand.
Im hoping actually being there will make a big differance, i will also have a WHV, so will be able to take up work immediatly while waiting for my PR being processed.
Glad to hear first hand about the shortage of fab workers and many companies- i hand my notice in here in 3 weeks time,fly late March and have been getting a little worried about the possability of not finding employment for some time once im in NZ.
Thanks for the info
