Hi there

Further to my comments last week about Newjobz, I have sunsequently learned that the directors of Newjobz have started a new immigration company called Skills NZ. These directors, Stu Macann and Keith Lightfoot, are reported to owe 229 potential migrants about $600k after reneging on their refund policy [ see article on www.stuff.co.nz ]. Talking about their so-called refund policy, Lightfoot is reported to have said that he felt that they hadn't done anything wrong except that they understood that they had written a contract which they did not honour and that was that. Well duh, when you're owed thousands of dollars how wrong is that ??? Hmmm, he actually goes on to say that he felt that they also hadn't let the side down. Of course, that depends on whose side you are on hey.
So, if you are planning to migrate to NZ, there are two lessons to learn from this. Be careful, very careful about who you give your hard earned cash to. Not everyone is as nice and upfront as they pretend to be. And secondly, with just a little effort on your part, you can actually do the immigration process by yourself. It's not that difficult.

Good observation on Stu Macann and Keith Lightfoot - infact they tried wooing me but some how God took me out of their trap. Now how can anyone get to NZ without going through employment agency. If you have please let us know.
