New Zealand jobs

[Mharkins91]

In August I am going to New Zealand on a working holiday visa. I have already checked out how to change my UK class 2 to a New Zealand licence. Does anyone know if any employer would take me on as a driver with the type of visa I am on? I am currently in Australia and no haulage company would take me as they don't recruit people on a working holiday visa. The only driving job I could get here was driving a van for a dry cleaners for cash in hand. Just wondering if New Zealand is the same and if anyone has any experience of this. Cheers!

WHV worked out just fine for me... Rolled up on an industrial estate outside Christchurch and started asking around. NZ is a lot easier than AUS in terms of immigration and driving licence issues.

Flying into Auckland at the end of August. If I don't find a job there within a month I'll probably move somewhere else though.
