Work in NZ, this plan is viable?
Hi, I’m Brazilian, I have 21 years. In December I go to live in New Zealand.
(sorry for my bad english, for now, lol)
I’m studying English and plan to do the TOEFL test.
I intend to study English in NZ and then do a course in marketing (or advertisement, i love produtions of videos and movie). And I want to work earning enough to keep me because I’m taking the money is not enough for a long time, I will seek employment in advertising agencies, which is an area I love.
Does anyone know if this is viable?
How much money do I need to live in NZ?
To get the job I intend to assemble a presentation to show my creative for any director advertising agency to let him know that I have creative potential.
Well, let me say straight-off that I have never been to NZ. This info is all from web research.
It seems to me that it would be less expensive to live in NZ than in major Brazilian cities. The unemployment rate in NZ is around 6 or 7%, which is a good factor (except for those who are unemployed, of course). (The current USA unemployment rate is like 10%). Those are the facts I saw.
Now it’s opinion time. I really doubt that you will get hired at an advertising agency straight-off. Reasons? 1) Your English needs work as you admit, and 2) You don’t have any experience or certification in that field yet. You will most likely have to take another sort of job while you are attending college like most students do – part-time restaurant or retail store stuff.
