Many foreign employees find the transition into the New Zealand way of life very challenging. In this respect it is important that you have very good skills for the job and a good level of English. Research shows that all newcomers experience some level dissatisfaction and frustration a few weeks/months into their new job. This can be mild, or it can be very severe. It is important to know that it is a normal, natural process and part of adjusting to a new way of life in a new culture.
