Anybody knows a little about #immigration process to #Aotearoa #NZ ? I'been trying for quite a while to get a #sponsorship as a Software Engineer/Developer in sending applications to listings found on Seek, never been successful. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. Do you know if paying Licenced Immigration Advisers is worth it ?
Even before the evil clowns government to take on, I was struggling for about a year, so I can't even blame them.

A windy day, but with excellent visibility, on Angelus Peak, this past Sunday. #NelsonLakes
That was the first time I climbed it on this trip, but not the last! #Aotearoa

I love pie. Living my entire life in #Aotearoa, my favourite pies are steak and mushroom, steak and cheese, and pepper steak.
But I love #Reading about PIE almost as much as I love eating pie, and Laura Spinney's "Proto was a delicious read. 4.5/5 at #TheStoryGraph for me

Kia ora all, I've just started a really cool new job at the end of last year as a tutor for Brain Play! We teach STEM subjects to groups of kids, and do 1:1 tutoring of #neurodivergent children too.
I'm AuDHD, so I empathise so much with the kids I get to work with.
Kind of an #ad but I really believe in the cause and am not being paid to share this, so there's that 😉

This is my friend Lucy who is currently missing in Wellington Pōneke. She is vulnerable, low on resources, and may be experiencing paranoia and disordered thinking so if you see her please be gentle and straightforward. Her mother is now nearby and can come to wherever.
⚠️ she currently has blonde hair not pink.
If you find her stay close and message me to pass on to her mum ASAP or the local crisis team on 0800 745 477 💜
Boosts welcome.

"hey!
Are you in France with a cat that used to live in Aotearoa NZ and the cat is missing?
A cat found in Antony France with a NZ chip. Someone posted in reddit hoping to reunite the cat with the cat''s owners/slaves.

It’s time to stand together for Tīkapa Moana, the Hauraki Gulf. 🌊 ⛵ ✊
Despite a massive public mandate, the government continues to allow bottom trawlers to bulldoze the seafloor of this precious Marine Park. 🐟
On April 11 (weather date April 18), we’re sending an unmissable message to politicians in this election year: Ban bottom trawling now. 🐙
Join us for a powerful show of unity.
The oceans are not for sale! 🐳

#Introduction
Kia ora! I’m Matt - husband, dad to two (mostly) grown-up humans, and based in a small island nation tucked away in the South Pacific. #Aotearoa
I’m in the Fediverse because I believe in an open Internet that connects and grows communities of people, free from the commercial imperatives and perverse incentives of BigTech.
I’ve been a techno-geek for as long as I can remember, and blog about my journeys with tech at https://mattjhayes.com. I also gravitate to maker projects that give me an excuse to buy more #RaspberryPi
I mostly post about tech stuff, but content may also include photos of my dog being a doof, or some nice scenery that has caught my eye.
Other interests include hiking 🥾 (in my country we call this #tramping), travel, skiing, photography and mountain biking.
