JOBSEARCH

The Jobsearch team at NMS have received some calls from concerned clients, and others, regarding the following `rumours' they have heard:

being told to get out of the country”

May I take this opportunity to assure that none of these statements above is correct. There is not an iota of truth in any of them.

Yes, certain sectors in the job markets have been affected by the downward turn in the economies of both Australia and New Zealand, and it may be taking a little longer to secure employment as a foreigner, there is still employment available in both countries.
