Expatriate Forums in New Zealand

My husband and I want to move to NZ. We are in the US now. He's a Firefighter/EMT (for the last 11 years) and I'm a lampwork glass artist. My husband is preparing to hire a company called NewjobZ to find him a job. Does anyone have any useful info on this company? Good or Bad. The testimonials on their website seems legitimate, but it's always nice to see if anyone else has something to say. We have been invited to become Gold members. Does anyone know if this means they see promise in his CV or do they just want our money? We are determined to make this move. After having a two week holiday there last month, I realized I've dreamt about these islands my whole life. Sheep and all! So, if anyone has any info for me I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, Sherae

We tried to use them - we had to pay quite a few hundred dollars up front and they offered to send a cd re- their business. I waited for it to arrive - decided they looked very 'American-ised' (sorry!) and not very clear so we decided to look elsewhere - however when we asked for our [spam word detected] they wouldn't return it as we had gone past the time frame - while we were waiting for their cd to arrive!
I tried to email and explain the situation to no avail, so I wrote and complained to no reply - so no I wouldn't recommend them at all. Steer clear!!! Crying or Very sad
