3. New Zealand is a young, growing country, and we need people with skills in a wide
range of occupations. The requirements to migrate to New Zealand are simple, and
a lot simpler than for most similar countries.
WHY SHOULD PEOPLE
CONSIDER LIVING AND
WORKING IN NEW ZEALAND?
On various world indices, we are
No. 1 for Education
No. 1 for Social Progress
No. 1 for Human Freedom
No. 1 for Least Corruption
(Legatum Prosperity Index 2013 + UN Human Development Index)
(Social Progress Imperative 2014)
(Worldwide Index of Human Freedom 2013)
(Transparency International Corruption Index 2012)
In addition, we have
A parliamentary democracy, and the rule of law
Laws that make discrimination of all types illegal
Laws to protect exploitation of workers
An uncrowded, clean and green environment
Low unemployment (5-6%) for the last 20 years
Relatively high incomes and efficient tax system that pays for (relatively) FREE
Education
Health Care
Social Welfare
Retirement Pension
New Zealand has strict laws about giving “immigration advice.” Within New Zealand, only a
Licensed Immigration Adviser is entitled to give you immigration advice, the Chairman of Choose
New Zealand is an LIA.
Outside of New Zealand, a Student Recruitment Agent can give you advice and help with Student
Visas only, unless they are also a LIA.
However, all information on this e-Booklet is of a general nature and publicly available. You should
not rely on it as Immigration Advice, as every person is different and needs individual advice about
their situation. For more details about each issue raised, please look at Immigration New Zealand
(INZ) websites listed at the bottom of this e-Booklet.

4. THE NEW ZEALAND WORK
ENVIRONMENT
A bit of history first.
New Zealand was settled by English migrants who were determined to leave the British class
system behind, and to protect workers from exploitation.
So, we don’t like hierarchical thinking, and we do like to treat people equally and fairly. After an
initial introduction, you will almost always call everyone, from the top to the bottom, by their
first name.
New Zealand was the first country in the world to give women the vote, and to make laws
insisting that employers paid a living wage on an 8 hour day, 40 hour working week. Trade
Union influence has been very strong. That is not so true these days, but there are still
many legal responsibilities on employers (and potentially very large fines or other costs).
Employers need to be very careful about compliance with Health and Safety laws,
for example the need to prevent employees from smoking indoors. It is illegal to
discriminate against anyone on the grounds of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual
preference, marital status etc. Most importantly, employers must go through
a very rigorous process if they want to dismiss a worker.
And another bit of history.
The first settlers had to pioneer New Zealand, and develop it out of mainly
dense forest.
www.worldwidecollege.in
So, we do like people with a “can do” pioneering attitude of finding a solution to
a problem,and getting on with it. We don’t like people who complain that things
are not perfect.

5. www.worldwidecollege.in
Thirdly, a simple fact.
The vast majority of New Zealand businesses (and other organisations) are all small businesses. Even our
biggest businesses are small compared with many international companies.
Why does this matter to a job-seeker?
Employers are looking for technical skills and experience BUT personal and social skills, and general
attitude are very important. They want to know “How well will this person fit into my team?”
And given how complex it is to dismiss someone, perhaps you can now understand why NZ employers
are very very very careful about who they hire!
And also,why employers almost always want to meet you before they appoint you. An impressive CV
is not enough, and even a Skype interview does not reveal things that can be seen in a personal
interview. Is an employer likely to hire someone who smokes, has poor personal grooming, and a
relaxed attitude towards safety? Or is argumentative, and with Body Odour? Those negative
characteristics will not be seen in a CV or even in a Skype interview.
THIS IS WHY WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT THE “STUDY PATHWAY TO RESIDENCE” IS AN EXCELLENT
OPTION, BECAUSE
You will be in New Zealand, and legally entitled to work – part-time in the first year, and full
time in the second, and possibly third and fourth years
You will therefore have the opportunity to meet employers, and impress them!
Your job application will not be subject to the Labour Market Test.
Here are some recent quotations from New Zealand news media
“The next biggest group of migrants was 13,800 from India, with three-quarters on student visas.”
- Stuff, New Zealand.
“…. migrants from China, with about half on student visas”
– Stuff, New Zealand.
“The study to residence pathway is an ‘easy way to secure residency’ by signing up as an international
student, the Filipino population grew by 144% and the Indian population by 55%
- The New Zealand Herald.

Fourth, some Frequently Asked Questions.
Job prospects and locations
New Zealand is a fresh, emerging country, with a modern economy, and a need for a wide
range of skills. Unemployment has been consistently lower than almost every other
western country over the past 20 years.
Whatever your skills, we probably have a need for them. (However, as above, skills at
ANZSCO 3 and above are needed to be eligible for Residence under the SMC.)
Auckland is the biggest city, which generally means the biggest demand, but there is a
demand for some specialised skills in particular regions. Auckland is also the most
expensive city for living costs, particularly house prices, and a recent change in
government policy will give more “points” for residency, if the job offer is outside of
Auckland.
However, it is very important to realise that many migrants arrive in Auckland, and never
leave. That is why Auckland has such a huge cultural diversity, which makes Auckland
such a fantastic city! But it does mean that the further south you get, the less the diversity,
and the (slightly) greater difficulty of finding people with a similar culture to yourself, and
the (slightly) greater difficulty in having employers want you.
Personal skills
We are a nation of immigrants, with people from a wide range of countries and cultures.
Cross cultural communication is hugely important, and demonstrating experience of
working in that environment is very helpful. Unfortunately, it must be said that a strong
accent may be considered a hindrance to communication. Recognising that as a potential
problem is a first step – a second step is to get some help to improve it. Classes in
pronunciation, and even “Accent Reduction Boot Camps” are available in many countries,
and in New Zealand.
Aging workforce
Our population, and workforce, is aging (another reason we need young migrants). There
are growing opportunities in Aged Care, but unfortunately, simple Caregiver roles are not
considered skilled enough to qualify for SMC migration.

7. www.worldwidecollege.in
Women in the workforce
New Zealand has a very strong record in the employment of women, with women
dominating not only traditional professions like teaching and nursing, but also nowadays
accounting and law. In parallel with that, sexual harassment is completely outlawed, and
employers can get into serious trouble if they allow it in the workplace.
Hours of work and work/life balance
Trade Unions are not as strong as they used to be and there is a lot more flexibility
around working hours nowadays. Generally though, an 8 hour day and 40 hour week is
most common. Traditionally, when the churches were strong, Sunday was the day of rest,
with nothing open, but that is no longer the case. Similarly, Saturday was the day for
sport (Cricket in the summer, and Rugby in the winter) but that is not true nowadays
either. However, New Zealanders are keen on sport, recreation, and outdoor activities,
and the work-life balance is important to most employers.
Are New Zealand organisations open to change?
As a small country, we are buffeted by changing world trade patterns, and have to be
open to change, or perish. And some do perish because they do not change fast enough.
Formality and dress code
To some extent, formality will be dependent on the size of the organisation, but again,
almost everyone will be called by their first name. Dress code really depends on the level
of professionalism required. For men, wearing a tie in the office is becoming less
common, and almost never outside the office.
Team building and separation of personal lives from professional lives
Some organisations put a lot of effort into formal team building exercises, and others rely
more on informal socialising,usually during or immediately after work hours. For example,
it would be unusual to be required to attend work social functions at the weekend.

8. www.worldwidecollege.in
Professional organisations
There are organisations for every profession, industry and interest group you can think of! It is a very
good idea to join appropriate ones as soon as possible, maybe even before you get a job.
Health system
We have an excellent public health system, which is essentially free, or with minimal charges,paid
by the taxpayer. There are waiting lists for many operations though, so many professional people
do purchase Health Insurance to enable them to get faster service in the private sector.
The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) runs a no-fault accident insurance scheme,
paid by levies on wages,petrol sales etc. ACC will pay for all costs resulting from accidents, but
in New Zealand you cannot sue anybody for causing an accident.
(Incidentally, we do not have any dangerous pests like spiders, snakes, or crocodiles to worry about!)
Fifth, the biggest problem to overcome
Many migrants complain that NZ employers won’t employ people who don’t have “New
Zealand experience” – a real chicken and egg situation. Let’s not be too negative though –
a large proportion of employers do employ new migrants.
What you need to do is read through the above information, and the checklists following,
and work out what it is that New Zealand employers consider to be the important
elements of “New Zealand experience.” Then you need to be pro-active in your
approach to employers in countering any negativity by employers before they get a
chance to express it!!
What do employers want in an employee?
There are many surveys about this on the internet, and they all essentially say the
same thing.
Internet survey:The top 5 candidate skills desired by employers:Internet survey:The top 5 candidate skills desired by employers:
1. Verbal Communication Skills
2. Strong Work Ethic
3. Teamwork Skills
4. Analytical Skills
5. Initiative
And mentioned very frequently are
Willingness to learn
Understanding of health and safety And note that 4 of these 7 skills are all about ATTITUDE.

9. www.worldwidecollege.in
HOW TO GET A JOB
Traditionally, employers use Recruitment agencies to find
suitable candidates, usually for high level management jobs,
and job - seekers use Employment agencies to find them a
job. Nowadays the terms used interchangeably.
There are several websites where you can see jobs
advertised– have a look at the Resources section at the end
of this e-book.
Remember that a huge percentage of jobs are never
advertised – you get them through contacts, networking,and
word-of-mouth!
CV Format:There are lots of different formats available on
the internet. The main things are :-
Describe your specific employment skills, both general and
technical.
Show your enthusiasm and “can do” attitude, without being
“over the top.”
Show what you can do in addition to your employment skills.
Can you drive a car ? Your prospective boss might
sometimes need to send someone off on an urgent errand.
Multi-skilled people are useful employees!!
Drive a truck? Even better!
Do you have a First Aid Certificate? All employers in NZ
must have some staff trained in First Aid. Already being
trained will be a bonus for them.
The Interview: Every job interview will have specific
aspects of the job, but one
employment agency* believes these are the 5 most
powerful interview questions that should be asked – what
would be YOUR
questions about the technical
answers?
1. What do you think about our city?
This is an example of a rapport question that gives the
candidate an opportunity to share a lot about themselves.
It tells the employer if they are a positive or negative person
(do they complain about the city, or do they talk about the
things that they love?), it reveals if they’re interesting and
engaging (do they say it’s nice, or do they go into detail?)
and their professionalism level and how well they understand
what’s appropriate to say in an interview.
2. Tell me about yourself
This is one of the most common and important questions
asked at an interview and gives the individual the chance to
share the best about themselves. Here they might focus on
their personal life and say little that helps to evaluate them,
OR they might discuss their history in the community and the
industry, and essentially wow the interviewer with their
enthusiasm and curiosity.
3. What did you think about (or experience proble-
ms with) your previous boss?
This question will find out if they’re the type of person that
complains or sees themselves as a victim, how they interact
with the workplace, how well they communicate about their
past, and much more.
4. What in your history makes you best qualified for
the position? (Or Why should we hire you?)
The interviewer will learn what they consider to be an achiev-
ement, what they identify are the skills that they have learned,
and how hard they work.
5. Describe yourself 5 years from now
You can learn about the candidate’s ambitions, the likelihood
of loyalty with the company, and their professionalism (“I’d like
to be married with kids,”rather than a professional answer).

10. www.worldwidecollege.in
WHAT IS A “SKILLED JOB” ?
INZ defines a skilled job as one that “substantially”matches the
appropriate Job Description on the ANZSCO table. High level
professionals such as doctors are Level 1, and unskilled jobs are
at Level 5. The minimum level for a skilled job is Level 3, but the
higher the level the better.
HOW TO GETA
SKILLED JOB – THE
STUDY PATHWAY ISSUE
In general, all the guidelines above apply. However,students
on a “Study to Residence” Pathway will be able to get a
part-time job while they study, and this is often the best
option for “upgrading” into a full-time job after graduating.
The biggest problem to face is that often employers do not
have any understanding of how the system works.
It is extremely important that you understand the requir-
ements yourself, and set your goals right from the start.
Part Time work while studying: You need to decide
if the job and/or employer has the potential to offer you
a full-time job later. If not, find another job that does
Full-Time work on Post Study Work Visa(Open):
1.
2.
3.
If you have been able to get your employer to like you,
and prove your value to them, they could offer you a
full-time job. They need to understand that this visa
received from graduating from your course is an
entitlement– you will* get it, and they do not have
to advertise the job and appoint a New Zealander.
Full-Time work on Post Study Work Visa
(Employer Supported): To get this next visa,
you will need your employer’s support through
providing INZ with various supporting docum-
entation, including a statement that they have
employed you in part, because of the qualific-
ation you have studied in New Zealand.
Residence Visa:To be able to apply for
Residence, ( whether immediately after
the PSWV (Open) or after the PSWV
(Employer Supported ), you need your
employers support to ensure that your Job
Description is a substantial match to the
definitions in ANZSCO for a Level 3 skilled
job (minimum). If it does, you will be eligible
to apply for Residence.
4.
In summary, you need to understand what is
required at each step, and you will possibly
need to educate your employer. To be
successful at that, you need to develop a good
relationship with them.
Remember:
Establish a good relationship with your employer!
*Needs proof of graduation, and proof of maintenance funds,currently
$4,200
Finally, the 8 migration factors
By law, with a few exceptions, all employers must
first offer a job to people already entitled to work in
New Zealand, before they can offer it to someone not
already entitled to work here. In other words, the
employer must satisfy INZ that they have advertised
widely, and not found a suitable, eligible person.
(Known as the “Labour Market Test.”)
A genuine job is one which
is paid by salary or wages (not commission) at market
rates
is not self-employment
is not “bought” by the person paying the employer to
employ them

11. www.worldwidecollege.in
A permanent job is one which is
at least 30 hours per week
on-going, or a minimum one year contract
A reputable employer is one who
• is financially stable,and likely to be able to continue
business to support the job offer
has no previous history of non-compliance with NZ
employment law
• has no history of problems with immigration
A skilled job is one which is at least level 3 on the
ANZSCO scale (see more detail below
The points system gives points for a range of
factors, with more points given for more desirable
factors. For example, migrants under 30 will get
most points, and over 50, least points. (And over
55 are not accepted, as they can make too small a
contribution to NZ before they retire.) Please see
Appendix for details, or go online to the INZ Points
Calculator.
The threshold to submit an Expression of Interest
is a total of 100 points (fairly easy to do). Your
EOI goes into a pool (for up to 6 months) awaiting
fortnightly draws to receive an Invitation to Apply for
Residence. Gaining sufficient points (currently 140),
you will be selected from the pool automatically.
Obviously, people with only 100 points or not much
more,may need a lot of luck to receive an ITA within
the 6 months allowed.
An “acceptable standard of health,” is required
for any visa. Applicants for residence are required to
be:
unlikely to be a danger to public health
unlikely to impose significant costs on the taxpayer
funded health services or special education
services
able to undertake the work specified in their job or
job offer
Good character is also required, which broadly
means
no history of serious criminal offending
no history of immigration offences in New Zealand
or any other country
not posing a risk to the security of New Zealand
To repeat, graduates on Post Study Work Visas are
entitled to be in New Zealand and work, and
therefore not subject to the Labour Market Test. If
you want to come directly to New Zealand, jobs on
the Long Term Skills Shortage list are not subject
to the LMT, but Residence is still dependant on
getting a job – and we believe the Study Pathway
provides the best way of doing that.
Another exception to the LMT is through a job offer
by an Accredited Employer, whereby permission is
granted annually to particular employers to recruit
off-shore for particular jobs, but this is not app-
licable to most people.
