Richard and Buanka Williamson Testimonial

Tate

Unstoppable Dream Leads Young Couple to Victory

Our Journey to New Zealand

It has been such a pleasure having Tate as our adviser, he stayed with us since day one.

He guided Richard with the entire job finding process and helped us to create a killer Resume and video CV that stood out a lot and caught the eye of many employers.

There were so many times that we felt so much frustration and thought that we might never make it, but each time we looked at our emails and we saw a message from Tate, we were motivate again and didn’t gave up hope. We continued with our job searching, knowing that the right employer will come.

The amount of faith he had in us was just amazing. We are so thankful for his services and motivation! This has kept us positive and encouraged.

Buanka and Richard Williamson
Qualified Diesel Mechanic, Welder

It has been a pleasure working with Richard and Buanka. I saw them experience many setbacks and each time, I saw them get up and go back into the game, just like two sports stars. When they won, I celebrated with them.

I am grateful for their testimonial but I should say that a coach doesn’t deserve the same credit as the players. My role is on the sidelines assisting and suggesting strategies. The real winners are the ones scoring points. Welcome to New Zealand Richard and Buanka! You are the winning team and you have a new hometown now.

David Giardino Vitri Testimonial

Tate

“It was such a great experience to deal with you. I don’t think I would have gotten the job if I didn’t use your services. It worked for Canada and will probably work for any other country too.”

David Giardino Vitri
Qualified Master Jeweller

David is a specialist. He would have gotten work in New Zealand without a problem, but Canada’s borders opened up before New Zealand, so David found work in Canada.

This isn’t the first time. My services have been used successfully in NZ, Australia, several countries of Europe, US and Canada.

Andries and Nilene Lotter Testimonial

Tate

“It’s actually you that helped us a lot. We weren’t able to do any of this without you, without your guidance and you giving us the tools… Yeah, our approach was totally… how can I say… wrong. And we thought, actually, everything that we were doing was really right, but till you came on the picture, and you guide us through this whole process, and then eventually we find out that the things that we are doing were wrong. And then eventually, you know, all these emails that we communicated together (all your support…) and yeah… it helped us! It helped us extremely a lot.  You combined us with the CV that stood out from everybody else and everything – all the years combined in two pages… So, yeah… we couldn’t have done this without you!”

Good news – Partner Work Visa Changes Deferred

Tate

Looks like good news to me. This was a huge area of disappointment for many of my clients – now being deferred until April 2023.

This gives INZ time to allow a reasonable transition towards raising the bar for skilled immigrants again.

Because INZ has been raising the bar on immigrants for several decades now, the best time to migrate is always “right now”!

CHALLENGE “How to Get Work in NZ – AUS”

Tate

Every Job-seeker has a unique and customised strategy – The hiring decision depends on two people: 1) the job-seeker and 2) the hiring manager. Both have needs that match and both benefit from a good hiring decision. The job market is just a collection of hiring decisions.

Millionaire Migration Map

Tate

A few interesting facts about millionaire migrants:

1) Little New Zealand is getting half as many millionaire migrants as the United States while having only 1.5% of the population.

2) The only country receiving more millionaires than Australia is the UAE but since the UAE almost never allows citizenship, Australia will end up getting some of those as well.

3) NZ + Australia receives 4,300 millionaire migrants compared to 2,500 that US + Canada, which is like saying NZ + Australia get 170% more millionaires than the US + Canada with only 8% of the population.

Insights from the Millionaire Migration Map – If millionaires are generally smart and capable people who have the ability to live almost anywhere, then why so many want to live in New Zealand and Australia?

And can we enjoy some of the same benefits of peace, nature, opportunity, weather, family, culture, future, etc… as they do?

New Zealand is still New Zealand

Tate

After landing in New Zealand, foreign migrants typically comment about the friendliness of Kiwis, the cleanliness of the city, the beauty of the nature and the safe, relaxed nature of society. New Zealand is also one of the few genuinely “kid friendly” countries in the world. Job seekers have said these to me this week after landing in New Zealand and the same things were said also last month and last year and during lockdowns and before lockdowns for many years prior. New Zealand hasn’t changed.

During lockdowns, the reputation of New Zealand has been tarnished and dragged through the mud. In many cases, this is deserved. However, policies from our government don’t reflect the New Zealand society. I can offer proof of this statement based on what incoming migrants have been telling me.

I can respect the opinions of people who have been financially and professionally harmed by the bad polices of our government during lockdowns. But who is really to blame. It was a tiny few people in certain government departments who created and enforced bad policy.

New Zealand is still the best country for all those reasons that people have always loved about New Zealand. Those things have remained remarkably constant for many decades.

In my opinion and based on the informal opinion polls that I receive from new migrants; New Zealand is still the best country for all those reasons that people have always loved about New Zealand. Change is always happening, but those things have remained remarkably constant for many decades.
