Comprehensive Career appraisal and visa eligibility assessment
Should I move? Will I find work?
When considering a move to another country often the first question that comes to mind is “Will I find employment”?
In today’s world, while the global job markets adjust and recover, it is wise to make decisions based on relevant information and facts rather than internet rumor. For many, New Zealand represents great opportunity for sustainable employment and personal and professional growth and of course….lifestyle. However, personal strategic planning for your future is paramount when moving to a new country.
Understanding the challenges of the job market
A successful move to New Zealand is more than getting a visa. It is also settlement. A big part of successful settlement is having a job and income. To be successful in your move to New Zealand it is important to understand the job market from both the applicants and employers perspective. This helps you to understand what services you need from your chosen professional visa and settlement consultants.
From the applicant’s perspective
You surf the internet. You see that there are many ideal positions for your skills advertised all over the web. The NZ employers are struggling to fill these positions. You know you have the skills and qualifications. You have an impressive resume and references. A simple letter to the employer along with your CV and glowing references should be sufficient to gain their interest. From there, they can sponsor you and you will be in New Zealand and starting your new life in no time. So if it is that straight forward, “Why do these New Zealand employers not seem interested in hiring me”?
From the employers perspective…
More great resumes from off-shore. Unfortunately employers are inundated with resumes from people from around the world that they would like to employ but from experience they know that the applicants neither understand or can successfully navigate the visa process. In the past, employers have spent a great deal of time considering hiring a suitable person who they later find cannot get into the country in a timely manner with the correct documentation to assume the position. This is frustrating to employers and it has unfortunately resulted in a tendency for employers to not consider off-shore applicants that do not have their visa and approval to work in place.
At Aotearoa Abroad we address this situation with our own unique approach to job searches and placement for our clients. We understand the synergy between visa applications and job searches. We also understand the importance of synchronizing these important elements of your new life. Our job search and placement program focuses on just that and our program is well received by employers as we are able to provide them with the necessary reassurances regarding visa procurement when they consider our candidates. We facilitate their planning of staffing needs for their companies using off-shore talent through our program and for this reason our candidates are well received.
