Need advices to live in NZ in 2011 (with rally way)
Hi all rally fans,
I post a special request on the Asia Pacific section for a good reason: I dream since I known the WRC, to discover New Zealand and live there one year or more. This is one of the most beautiful countries, with lots of different and incredible landscapes (volcano, tropical forest, coast, mountains ...). Moreover, the aim is to learn and discover a new culture than my European one, meet new people and way of life and most important improve my English !
In fact I will be graduated as an engine engineer at the end of the year, so perfect time to travel and live somewhere else in 2011.
As a huge rally fan like all of you, I try to find a post on this incredible motorsport to continue to live my passion and improve my skills. In fact, I have numerous experiences in rally:
- Co-driver since 2007
- Volunteer mechanic in French gravel championship from 2005 to 2007
- Beginner race engineer on Fabia WRC in 2009 (2 races)
- Internship of 3 months in Skoda Motorsport at Mlada Boleslav (Czech Republic) in 2009, in the technical department as an apprentice engineer (awesome experience)
- Reece co-driver for Manu Guigou (Clio R3) in French tarmac championship in 2010
- Run in a Fabia WRC on gravel (JC Lavigne) and in a Fabia S2000 with Hanninen during test pre-Barum
- Photographer and spectator on 20 rallies per year (WRC, IRC, French championship (tarmac and gravel)).
- I make a website with a friend: http://www.only-rally.com and a kind of blog during my internship at Skoda Motorsport (http://bidouentchequie.blog.free.fr/, only in French at this time)
So as you see, I’m very implicated in my passion so able to make a job in it.
I don’t find especially an engineer post, but more a job to live my passion and time I will spend in NZ: money isn’t my leitmotiv, passion yes! “This is my life” like said Petter Solberg. For example it could be:
- A technical job for national team in rally or V8 supercar for example (chief mechanic, manager, engineer) --> kinds of jobs I can make thanks to my degrees and experiences
- In media job (photography, reporter)
- For the national federation of the NZRC
- And more ...
So, I need helps from you and your contacts to reach this goal. I will study all propositions and offers even if I know that it will be difficult but I will try hard to reach this dream. At the same time, I search for more typical jobs and collocation.
Thank you to in advance for your precious help and hope I will meet some of you next year in NZ ;)
I can give you my resume and cover letter if you are interested
Best regards
Victor
