It hasn’t been easy to immigrate into New Zealand in recent years. Andries and Nilene came up against every possible challenge and overcame them all.

Consider the biggest challenges of the last 2+ years:

  1. Lockdowns
  2. Mandates
  3. Sudden changes in immigration policy
  4. Changes in immigration law
  5. Job offer rescinded unexpectedly by an employer

How do you overcome so many roadblocks before getting completely demoralised?

How to Help New Zealand Employers Hire You Today

Many New Zealand Employers don’t yet know how to hire foreign migrants, so don’t be surprised. The employer-led system is only starting now.

If you want to help a NZ Employer hire you today, here is what you can do…

  1. Ask the employer if they are aware of the new Employer Accredited Work Visa (AEWV) coming into effect July 4.
  2. If the employer is interested to find out more, it’s all right here: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/employ-migrants/new-employer-accreditation-and-work-visa/accreditation-types-and-employers-requirements

The benefits of the employer-led process are simple to explain:

In the past, employers only issued the job offer and then they often would wait for an immigration agent to confirm or request a change to the job offer in order to achieve compliance.

Today, the process is streamlined. The term “employer led” system means exactly that. Employers control the job offer and the work visa at the same time.

If you are a job seeker wanting to fast-track your job-finding process, send your questions to me at tate@employmentforimmigration.nz

I am 100% job-focused. If you require specific immigration advice, just see the INZ government website or find a NZ licensed Immigration Agent. If you want a referral of a reliable and proven immigration agent, I can find your match as part of my services.

Clear Benchmarks to Your New Life

For newcomers especially, starting your new life in New Zealand, Australia or any foreign country can seem overwhelming. It can all seem a bit confusing, especially these days. To help clear up the process, let’s review the strategy backwards, from the end-point of most people.

What are the main goalposts involved here?

7) Get residency – That is usually the #1 goal, right?

6) To get residency, you will need to move a period where you are working-to-residency, yes? There is no other way for most of my Clients.

5) To get work, a qualifying job offer is needed for sure. This is a must.

4) To get a job offer, it is important to line up great meetings with suitable employers offering suitable roles. A targeted approach works. Spamming doesn’t work. Fair enough so far?

3) To enjoy a big list of meetings scheduled even before you leave your home country, you need an effective and customised marketing campaign that targets quality employers. So it is about meetings, meetings, meetings. You have control over this area, more so than you know.

2) Before starting any sort of campaign, a stand-out profile should be crafted that sets you apart from all of the other candidates based on who you are and your proven skills. This is obvious right? We can’t just set up meetings and give an average profile. It needs to connect.

1) To find out more, my process really begins with your CV and your core strengths and your goals.
