Auckland - Post Report Question and Answers

What types of jobs do most expatriate spouses/partners have? Locally based or telecommuting? Full-time or part-time? Can you comment on local salary scales?

There are a couple of EFM jobs at the Consulate but I think more people work locally. Being an English speaking country with a strong economy people have not had much trouble finding pretty good jobs quickly once they arrive (universities, health care, IT, etc.) - Jun 2019


There are shortages in some areas - check Immigration NZ's website. If you have skills you'll generally be welcomed as long as your English is good. - Feb 2015


Not really, but there are occasional jobs available at the embassy - Jul 2011


No, unemployment is at an all time high. If you have a job in NZ, stick with it until the economy turns around, please. - Mar 2010
