What are the main job search challenges?

Finding a job in a new country is a huge challenge. Apart from the Catch 22 Dilemma - can't get a visa without a job but can't get a job without a visa - there are a number of other issues that will affect your job search.

Difficulties our clients face during their job hunt are based on two main factors:

1. Migrants are not familiar with the New Zealand job market and New Zealand's business etiquette; and

2. New Zealand employers do not fully understand and appreciate the professional  background from overseas job applicants and their own role in the visa application process."  

Some of the challenges resulting from being new to the New Zealand job market are:

  • a lack of proven New Zealand work experience
  • a lack of professional networks and social capital
  • a lack of information and a good understanding of their specific industry in New Zealand
  • a lack of recognition of international qualifications and/or the opportunities to upgrade
  • a lack of understanding of how to navigate the New Zealand employment process
  • a lack of New Zealand specific English language terminology
  • a lack of confidence in a new environment

NZIC helped me in my way to get a Visa and job search. They were always available to talk to and were open to all sorts of questions. No matter how random they were. Very friendly staff. And even when they had changes in employee and advisors, they always stayed professional and up to date. I can only say good things and recommend them highly.

“In contrast to another Immigration consultancy that we contacted, your company offered a free webinar and an assessment, warm, approachable staff that communicates openly with potential customers. I found your website and it was very detailed and informative. I understand that your company is a fee for services provider, but that has not been conveyed as a prerequisite during the decision making process.”

At first, Maj kindly explained the whole process and what to expect. I was coached and introduced to New Zealand job market by their Job Search team, and getting assistance until I got a job in the country. The Visa team would also follow me up on my pending documents, so I never felt left out. Truly recommended for those seeking out an option to live in New Zealand. Big thanks from me and my whole family for things NZIC did for us..!

Very pleased and satisfied with the service we received from NZIC. They assisted me and my family from start to finish. Always willing to assist, and communicated our progress every step of the way. With their assistance we managed to obtain permanent resident visa status.
