Job sponsorship rant
Just venting honestly but if you have advice I gladly welcome it. I moved to NZ on working holiday hoping to find something but not expecting it. 2 months in I found a job in my field, I work in infrastructure project management and have an engineering background and a masters. Due to some investment decisions my job isn’t sponsoring me and I’ve been looking for a job that can for 3 months now (not long I know but I have 2 months left until my visa is up). I’m just really sad that I was able to build a life here but I can’t keep it. I only need a 3 month temp work visa until I can sponsor myself as a skilled migrant but that hope is looking like it’s slipping away. I’ve talked to anyone and everyone, recruiters as well, with no luck and I just feel a bit defeated.
I may just have to go to Aus for a bit and come back to nz for another degree but I don’t want to spend money on school again. I’m a US citizen so I can’t imagine how difficult it is for non strong passports in this market. Truly good luck to everyone out there I don’t know how yall are doing it.
