Hiya
I have before been living and working abroad under my internship in Malta.
And now when I got my degree I want to try work abroad a year or two and I thought New Zealand sounded tempting due to its beautiful nature.
However, I need some questions because I need some info and if someone could help me answer them I would be grateful :)
I have a Academy Profession Degree in Chemical and Biotechnical Science. Which make me able to work as a Laboratory analyst/technician so I was wondering how is the work situation in New Zealand for Laboratory analysts?
Is it difficult to get work in that field?
Are there a lot of Medical/food Companies in New Zealand?
How much Laboratory work experience do you think I need?
since I just got my degree last year.

What is the average salary as a Laboratory analyst/technician and what is the average price of a two room flat?

How is the healthcare in New Zealand?

Thank you for your time
Marlene

You should check www.immigration.govt.nz for visa information and applications. I think with your qualifications you may well be able to get a visa okay.
I suggest  a Google search to find contact details for laboratories and companies in NZ.

Sorry I cannot help you in regard to healthcare and salaries.

You could check out www.seek.co.nz for work.
