I left my job in Queenstown to pursue opportunities in Auckland, only to find that the job market here is like navigating a labyrinth; it feels nearly impossible to secure a position. Even when there are openings, sending out a resume seems as futile as tossing a message in a bottle into the vast ocean.
Who exactly is filling all the roles in Auckland? It’s the Indian community! Step into any Western restaurant or hotel, and you’ll likely see them hard at work. I don’t mean this in a derogatory way, but I’m genuinely curious about their methods. How do they manage to find these jobs so effectively? I really want to learn from their approach.
In Queenstown, simply applying for jobs online would land me interviews, but in Auckland, after a week of relentless job hunting, I’ve heard nothing but silence. I knew this journey would be challenging, but I never imagined it would be this tough.
I totally relate to the frustration of job hunting in Auckland—it really does feel like a never-ending maze sometimes. The article’s point about the Indian community being highly represented in certain industries is interesting, but I hope there’s more diversity in other fields too.
