jobless_now Junior Member Member # 2634	Posted March 26, 2002 10:27 AM Hi all, i hold a new zealand passport and i just graduated with a Bsc degree (major in computer science). Its difficult to find a job in NZ recently so i decided go to holland. I have two choice. 1st, apply working holiday visa for new zealanders. This allow me to stay 1 year rather than 3 months so i have more time for job hunting. But as stated on http://www.workpermit.com/netherland/employer7.htm "Working Holiday visas are not generally appropriate for filling vacancies so senior that you would otherwise consider a full work permit" but what if i find a job in IT during that working holiday period? can i apply for work permit in that case? 2nd choice is just go there and start job hunting, if not sucessful then leave holland and re-enter so i have another 3 months time. Which choice sounds better? please give me some suggestions.
