Posted before about help finding work. I'm an American with a working holiday visa that has been here with my g/f for close to four months now and still have no job living in Dunedin. The first two months I applied to specific jobs that fit my M.S degree and years of working as a teacher and in a laboratory primarily at the University here and haven't heard back to over two dozen jobs I've applied to there alone. Then the past two months I've been applying to absolutely anything whatsoever. Casual, temp, part-time, you name it.
My g/f got a full-time job at a cosmetic store but she barely makes enough for both of us to exist here and needless to say we are both completely stressed out of our minds. Whenever I have a lead on a job or an interview, I never get a call back. Had two interviews since I've been here and I think I'm about to get a casual 10 hours per week gig at a local clothing store but I can't believe I'm even praying to get just that.
You can find me hours of the day looking on every job website you can find applying all day all over New Zealand. I'm about to call it quits and just leave. This whole NZ life thing doesn't seem to be working out for me and I'm on the verge of splitting with my g/f because of the stress and lack of money.
Anybody out there willing to offer some useful advice for me? or job suggestions of the like?
