Hey everyone! I just moved to Hamilton from overseas a few weeks ago and I'm trying to find a job. I've been applying online but not hearing back much. Any tips on local job boards or recruitment agencies? I've heard Trade Me Jobs is popular, but are there others? Also, is it worth walking into stores or factories with a CV? Back home that was normal but not sure here. I'm open to any type of work, even part time or casual. Also, how important are references? I have some from back home but they're not local. Would love any advice from people who've been through this. Cheers! 😅

Hey man, welcome to Hamilton! It can be tough at first. Have you checked out the Hamilton City Council job board? Also, try registering with agencies like Drake or Randstad—they often have temp roles that lead to permanent work. Networking on Facebook groups (like "Hamilton Jobs") helps too. Don't forget to get your CV reviewed for NZ standards. Good luck!

Hey! I totally get the struggle. I moved here from the UK two years ago and faced the same issue. Online applications can be slow, but I found success by going into stores and cafes in person with my CV. Also, check out the 'Seek' and 'Trade Me Jobs' sites, and try temp agencies like 'Adecco' or 'Randstad.' They helped me land my first role quickly. Good luck, mate!

Hey! I feel your struggle—I was in the same boat when I first arrived. Online apps barely got responses. I'd recommend hitting up recruitment agencies like AWF or Tradestaff; they helped me land something quick. Also, check out NZ's Seek and Trade Me Jobs, but local Facebook groups like 'Hamilton Jobs Board' had more leads for me. Good luck!
