Finding a job within 3 months as an agricultural engineer - realistic?

Suggest you also try to get a conversation going with an immigration officer. They are strict with rules but also extremely helpful, and especially if are looking to do this in at least a year hence, this allows the time for Covid to settle, as immigration have put much on hold in the last year and half.
North Island is perhaps more social for a young family - South Island really quite rural/outdoor life.
An important side for not just you obtaining the job you want, but what type of lifestyle suits you.
Such good best wishes in funding your dreams in this stunning country.

Thank you so much!

Hi Alexandra,
I think it is really based on your luck and the city. We live in Dunedin.
I entered NZ last year through the Ph.D. program and luckily got a scholarship from my Government but it is only sufficient for a single not family (me, having 3 kids, gosh the scholarship will only cover our accommodation).

So the plan was my husband will do some network engineer part-time work to support us, while I am concentrating on studying this stressful Ph.D. thing (I am doing Biochemistry and environmental engineering). But the reality said different things, I still need to do extra part-time Job teaching and demonstrating for a health science Dept. to support my family for few months.

FYI, my husband had MBA from Birmingham Univ, UK, with 15 years working in the IT sector, a manager position in an international company. After 6 months of looking for a job finally, he gets one. Also, it is because of the references and friend's network from my University.

So in the end, Just give if it a go, you never know your luck. And once you arrive in the country built a connection and network with locals.

Wish you luck
