why not find an IT agency online to take you on for interviews, they can always rehash your cv like they did my husbands (although he fixes trains!). if you don't fancy auckland, consider living one hour from wellington and take the train in. kapiti coast is lovely! you can get yourself a four bedroom quarter acre plot for $400,000 in waikanae although where we are houses are more rarer for sale in raumati beach but only 15 minutes drive from waikanae. bearing in mind, if you want to get the train up to welly, you would be better living in paraparaumu. hope this helps!
