I see from your comment history that you've been looking for a job in New Zealand, and have been applying for jobs through Seek and TradeMe.
I'm from New Zealand myself (although I've now moved to Australia). I wish I could give you some positive advice on finding a job in New Zealand, but all I can say is don't be disheartened that you haven't had any success in finding a job applying from overseas.
Most recruiters in NZ will as a blanket rule just trash any resumes they receive from people not in New Zealand. A lot won't even take resumes from people in different cities. You really need to be in the country and ready to start work, most recruiters will require you to actually turn up in person for interviews, which isn't so bad if you only need to fly from one city to another for a day, but isn't practical if you're overseas.
It's just not worth recruiters time to work with international candidates. Often they aren't actually serious about moving countries and are just fishing.
