Feeling anxious and overwhelmed... job hunting in NZ is impossible! So far, I’ve only managed to do one short-term labouring contract. Honestly, it feels like there are hardly any jobs out there. Is there any advice on how to get a permanent job?

Hang in there Mich. Sometimes temp/contact work can be the way into it. If they see you doing great work as a temp, you should be top of mind when something permanent comes up.

Yip, job marker is tight at the moment. . . Best advice Don't Give Up. . . I had luck through a 11month stint through a temp agency with the same employer & was taken on full-time but had to wait a couple of month's to avoid the fees demanded by temp agencies to employer's equal to 12weeks wages for taking on the temp. But it is a good way to get your foot in the door & can also be a good way to 'Name Drop' prospective employer's your current employment situation. Good luck anyhoo
