Finding a Job in New Zealand

 

New Zealand is looking for skilled migrants who will bring their skills and contribute to New Zealand’s growth.Whether you are still overseas in the early stages of planning your move to New Zealand or have already booked your ticket, finding a job will most definitely play an important and yet challenging part in the overall process.

Looking for a job, even at home, can become a full-time job in itself. Entering a labour market you are not familiar with can be difficult and there are a number of obstacles to overcome before you can finally start working.

The Facts

New Zealand Immigration law doesn’t allow migrants to take up employment without a valid work or residence permit but it is often a prerequisite to being considered when applying for a job.

In many cases migrants need an offer of skilled employment in order to qualify for a work or residence permit. A classical and often frustrating Catch-22 situation, which we can help you overcome.
