I'm yet to find any website that advertises NZ pilot jobs so either there just aren't any available or they recruit through other means.
You're correct on both the lack of a website and recruiting through other means but wrong when you assume there are no jobs out there.

There are quite a few jobs out there in NZ, perhaps not as many as OZ or in some cases as well paid as Oz but they're there. There is no website and very rarely is there ever any adverts in other media. The fact you lament the lack of a website advertising jobs in New Zealand demonstrates your lack of understanding of the industry.

Why is there no website? Simple the jobs are filled by keen pilots and pilotesses who get out there and get in front of prospective employers. In many cases their first job is where they learned to fly. Employers don't need to advertise, most GA jobs are fill by word of mouth.

Unfortunately for the likes of yourself training at CTC, since their focus is entirely airline orientated, you do not get exposed to the avenues that GA can offer and how and where to find these jobs.

As Tidbinbilla stated,
You will need to get off your arse, and cold call - maybe even travel around the country and knock on doors to find that job.
By the way, the whole CPL MEIR package can be done for a fair bit less than $100,000 at most places. Is that what CTC charge?
