Trading South Africa for the City of Sails

Auckland was love at first sight for this new migrant from South Africa:

“We were ready for a new adventure and decided to take a chance and visit Auckland. When we arrived, we instantly fell in love with the City of Sails.

“Auckland is vibrant and beautiful – filled with parks, loads of open public spaces and interesting people of varying cultures and walks of life. It seemed that the city was filled with promise, and we wanted to be part of it!

“Back in South Africa, I started my search on the internet and came across Rag Trade Recruitment through Working In. I submitted my CV and hoped for a positive outcome.

“I found out that the possibilities in the clothing industry seemed really good and the skills shortage worked in my favour. Rag Trade Recruitment played a pivotal part in my relocation from Cape Town, South Africa to Auckland, New Zealand.

“They provided a valuable support network and helped me through every step in my visa application process and my job search. Thanks to them, I was placed with a great team at The Warehouse and am looking forward to growing from strength to strength in this vibrant and growing industry.”
