Mick Adshead, Engineering Project Manager from Portsmouth – moving to NZ

How far through the migration/visa process are you:
I’ve paid the fee and am doing my residency! All done today on the visa stand.

Were you please with the help and advice you received from the exhibitors?
YES! I have a job interview with Fisher & Paykel today at 5.15pm!

Have you made employment connections or arranged any job interviews?
Yes, Working In Visas referred me to Fisher and Paykel Healthcare.

Has the expo met your expectations?
I’d probably say MORE SO! I came here with an open mind, just come and see, but now it is real!

What would you say to someone like you who was considering visiting the Expo?
It’s well worth it. A must. If interested in NZ you have got to come here. I have signed up for a visa check so now on my way. It saves oohing and aahing. You never know it may happen sooner than planned!
