We need Audiologists!

January 24th, 2012

Are you an Audiologist with a 2-year Masters and clinical hours? Then we can place you on short notice. Get in touch with us!

Being there is everything!

January 22nd, 2012

When you are looking for work in New Zealand, you should consider coming to New Zealand, as in the current economic climate the chance of being hired unseen is remote.
Many employers won’t even react to your CV if you are not available to attend job interviews in person, no matter how well qualified you are.

For people who originate from non visa waiver countries, this means that they will also need to apply for a visitor visa. Visa, plane ticket and accommodation often don’t come cheap, but see it as an investment in your future.
Your chances to find a job in New Zealand will be many times better.
We can help you with a job search on “stand-by”, where you would only have to travel to NZ when job interviews have actually been scheduled for you. That way you don’t run the risk of making an expensive trip for nothing.
Get in touch with us by email, info@newzealand-jobsearch.com, we can help!

Steve Jobs

October 7th, 2011

I use computers and the Net to communicate with people all over the world, surely because of Steve Jobs. My first computer was a tiny Apple, with a small black/white screen build in, but oh so user friendly. And even the children couldn’t wreck it.
My next computer was also Apple, with a colour screen and it was intensively used by the entire family, and still lives on.
It has all been said about the man with the vision over the last few days. He died too young, but what a legacy!
My son Thomas, studying for his Masters in Computer Science, met Steve during a convention in San Francisco, and was truly inspired, like so many other young people from around the world.
I hope that Steve felt this and knew this, and I wish his family all the best.

Time flies!

September 24th, 2011

For those of you who are on Silver Fern visa, Pacific Island ballots or other time restricted visa, it is so important NOT to wait until it is almost or certainly too late to ask for help.
Never underestimate the time involved in a job search, and weeks and even months can slip away.
Considering the time and money spend on getting your visa, make sure that you contact us for help well before it expires, for we cannot assist if there are only a few weeks left.
As the current job market is far from what it used to be before the economic crisis, finding employment takes more time.
Be time-wise and contact us as soon as you receive your visa.

When looking for employment in New Zealand, presentation is the key. Especially in IT there are many candidates for each position offered, so how do you stand out from the crowd? Firstly by presenting a state of the art CV, well composed and in the right font and format. You can use our service, or that of Red Star Resume, to make sure your CV has what it takes. Links to a good CV can be found at our website.
Then there’s the presentation of your CV with a cover letter. We compose individual cover letters for each application, tailored for the job applied for. Without revealing any tricks of the trade, we know how to approach employers in such a way that not having a visa yet is not so much of a problem.

Finding employment during times of recession

May 8th, 2011

The recession is slowly lifting, but not in all sectors. The Building industry has been hit hard and vacancies are not at the level of 3 years ago. Yet Building Project Managers are wanted to rebuild Christchurch and more vacancies appear.
There is also an increased demand in Engineering and there are more vacancies in Hospitality.
The Health sector is lively as always but for overseas candidates it is advisable to obtain the necessary registration before applying for any position.
Administrative vacancies are up and also Sales jobs are increasing.

Where a job search campaign used to be successful within 2 weeks not so long ago, currently that may take 2 months or even longer.
The overseas candidate, even when well-educated and with plenty of solid work experience, will always have the disadvantage unless he or she makes herself available for job interviews in person. The times of being hired unseen are over.

The smart job seeker takes advantage of our CV service (which is free of charge with a job search) and our huge database of contacts by letting us do the legwork.
Unless of course you enjoy writing hundreds of cover letters……
