However, my step son, who has a 2:1 in engineering with management from Brunel University could not get anything in NZ either, because he had no experience, a vicious circle.
It took me a few years to get established in a good job, and different industry. However, due to my wifes family reasons we moved back to the UK last year, and I can't get a job here either, so we are moving back to NZ, but alas, I am stuck trying to find a job again, problem is, my last job in NZ was very niche, and my position was filled by 2 people, so trying to find a job will be difficult for me too, but atleast I know people, and network does help.
I would suggest joining a sports club or two, perhaps golf and tennis or squash, then just talk and talk to people, you never know!
