Not actually. We were looking for some after our arrival. We were also looking for an apartment afterwards.
We probably got lucky. Both of those two things we got in less than two weeks. Even though we were told that it is hard to find a job in Hamilton. However, we have a visa just for a year, so we were not looking for some really fancy jobs. We were okay with almost anything. I'm in a restaurant for now and my girl is in a kitchen in one of the big stores they have here.
