Well ive said it on twitter and facebook so I’ll post it here in finer detail..
Right then, to put it bluntly the job market isn’t great here in New Zealand and its prop not as great overseas as well but its probably better than here, but anyway, ive decided id at least consider looking for work overseas, at this stage im going out of my reach and look at either United Kingdom or United States for retail work if i can. You may be thinking “Dave/ddwagnz has not really thought of the flaws and problems surrounding this idea” or along those lines, but i have considered the flaws in the plan and problems that surround this decision.
The reason ive choose this is, mainly as i may find it easier to get a retail job for a few years till i can decided on a career move like moving into I.T ie web or something and if i move i would be in a better position to get something and not have to wait for something in nz to open up, as the I.T industry here isn’t great admittedly. I’m not promising i could be getting something overseas but im just saying I’m looking into it, if nothing is going for me here.
Its the best atm i can do, and if something comes up in one of those two countries then so much the better and i can somehow get some sort of sponsorship or something to allow me to become a citizen and get over there to live etc.
But that’s the general plan, so! what can you do to help? well if you know any good job search sites in either of those two countries, that usually post good retail jobs (if its in the states if you have local city/state job sites that are good, tell!)
All you have todo is either post a comment here with a link to a site, or! As a facebook status comment to this news post announcement! (No Twitter replies unless its Direct Message, use this blogs comments to add some links)

An interesting idea, the problem with trying to gain work in either country is sometimes you need to have a foot into a particular industry or sector.
Good luck on that front anyway
yeah i know that its going to be probably more harder but the fact is, there is most likely more jobs there than there is here, so you have to weigh up that, and make a sacrifice to move out of the country
