    Yep

    Picking can be good money if you can go hard and handle the jandle.

    Factory work is OK money and the hours can be unsocialable but it is reliable.

    And have a work visa.

    Hi Pete, not a bad idea! I'll take a look. I'm actually waiting to take up work in Auckland, but you never know with recruiters how long it wil take. Hoping to take up a full time position in my industry by February. but I'd try abit of fruit picking! It'd be a good way to get fit i'm sure.

    So I've ended up working for a guided hunt in Napier for a couple of weeks - And i got my first NZ Deer!! A sika stag taken at 450 yards using .300 win mag! However I'm still looking for more opportunities when this ends and am having a few chats with other people who have posted here and got in touch with me via. Merry Xmas and a happy new year to all, and good huntin'!!
