Recruitment Drive - July 2011

Given the large increase in job vacancies recently, we have decided to add another trip to our calendar and will be in the UK in July. This was initially going to be October, but many New Zealand employers will not / cannot afford to wait that long.

The schedule will be as follows and interviews will be held between 9am & 8pm –

• Manchester 5th, 6th & 7th July
• Birmingham 8th, 9th & 10th July
• Bristol 11th, 12th & 13th July
• London 14th, 15th 16th & 17th July

Exact meeting location to follow shortly.

As always, we will be interviewing applicants for job vacancies in New Zealand and as important, assessing their eligibility to secure the required work and residency visa(s).

This will be a very important meeting for you and we will cover issues such as –

• How the job search process works
• Employer identification and education
• Training and the use of web based applications
• Provision of employment contracts and offer letters
• Preparation of your CV tailored to the New Zealand market
• Advice and guidance on job search and application techniques
• Mentoring on interview techniques.
• Ensure that the jobs for which you are applying and being interviewed for meet the requirements for your visa.

At the end of the interview, you will also receive a detailed report on your employability and immigration status.

If you would like to book a one-on-one consultation at one of the above locations, please email employment@livingnewzealand.co.nz and state what day and preferred time. 

Given the importance of this interview and the documentation provided by us, we have set a small fee of £50.00GBP to attend. We do ask that this is paid in advance to confirm your allocated time. This is payable via credit card or direct debit into our UK account. Should you then accept an offer of employment and you instruct Living New Zealand to act on your behalf in regards to lodging your visa application, the £50.00GBP will be deducted from our fee.

Our Office will be closed from Friday 22nd April, opening again at our new location on Tuesday 26th April.

Why Living New Zealand

Over the years, the team at Living New Zealand has strived to offer a professional service at all times and to achieve the best we can to assist migrants move to New Zealand successfully.

Our success stories are recognition that we achieve the above and how we have seen the changes that we have made to those that are now in the “Island of the long white cloud”. 

Living New Zealand Limited is the only Immigration & Employment law firm that not only has offices in New Zealand, South Africa and now the United Kingdom, but more importantly, we have our own dedicated in-house recruitment team. Many companies state that they do / can offer a full recruitment service and this is simply passing your CV onto another firm. In this economic time, it can be hard enough securing a job in your own country, therefore, how are you going achieve the same in New Zealand when you are 12,000 miles away??

Let the experienced team of recruitment specialists take away the stress and headache –

• We are in New Zealand
• We have the contacts
• Our success is our strength
