teachers needed in new zealandNew Zealand is experiencing a critical teacher shortage. The situation is expected to worsen in 2018, which means qualified teachers are needed in New Zealand urgently.

The background

The situation in New Zealand has been described as ‘alarming’. A survey of secondary school teachers have revealed that 570 jobs are vacant and 700 positions are filled by unqualified staff.

A high school principal told New Zealand’s 1 NEWS NOW, “We are needing to appoint people to positions with qualifications that are outside of their area of expertise or outside the level that they are used to teaching at as well.”

Book an assessment with us immediately if you are a teacher

The teacher shortage opens up opportunities to teachers from abroad who wants to work in New Zealand. If this is you, we want to hear from you!

How can we help make your dream come true?

The first step is doing an immigration eligibility assessment to find out if you qualify to live and teach in New Zealand.

Should the result be positive, our advisers can explain the way forward and assist you with your visa application. We’ll also assess the rest of your family and help with their visas too.

Why do we start with an assessment?

It’s because we have to find out if you qualify for a visa. You cannot work in New Zealand without a visa.

The assessment also protects you from spending money on a dream that’s not possible. People have lost thousands in savings in applying for visas they do not qualify for.

These people usually dealt with unqualified or fraudelent immigration advisers or attempted to do points score calculations on their own.

Here’s how you book your assessment

It’s so simple. All you have to do is book a consultation call online or contact us by calling +21 (0) 20 28 200.

You’ll speak to one of advisers directly, who’ll first do a pre-assessment to reveal any migration options open to you. From here you can decide if you’d like to proceed with a comprehensive assessment.

Our advice?

Do the assessment as soon as possible. As mentioned, the teacher shortage is acute and teachers are needed in New Zealand urgently. The sooner you get an application in, the better. You may have a bigger chance of success now than you would have at any other time.

Ace your New Zealand job interview

You’ll be forgiven for being extra nervous for your New Zealand job interview. This is after all your dream come true! You’re so close to living in New Zealand, you can almost taste it.

There’s no need to be so nervous though! All you have to do is be well prepared.

That’s why we’re going to give you tips for all three types of interviews – online, via the phone, and in person. Let’s dive into it.

1. Online interviews – Skype, Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams

  • Don’t make excuses. If you express reluctance to do an online interview, for whatever reason, you’ve already failed the first interview question. Don’t have a good connection? Do the interview from a friend’s house. Don’t have a laptop? Borrow one. Do whatever it takes to make this interview happen.
  • Dress up. You’ll make a huge mistake if you treat an online interview as an informal affair. It’s still a formal job interview, so look neat and presentable.
  • Set up ahead of time. Download, install and test the appropriate platform well before your interview is scheduled. Set up your camera so that your face is nicely framed, test your microphone and check the lighting.
  • Prepare the room. This is not a call to a friend! The interviewer does not want to see your bed, an overflowing washing basket or scattered toys. Sit at a desk or table with a clean background behind you. Make it either a wall or hang a sheet in white or cream behind you.
  • Eliminate distractions. Turn off your cell phone, lock the door to the room you’re using, tell family or housemates to not bother you, log out of Facebook, Twitter and any other apps that send notifications.
  • Make eye contact. Look straight into your computer camera when speaking, while glancing intermittently at the monitor to mimic a face-to-face conversation.
  • Positive body language. You already know to make eye contact. Now also lean forward a bit from time to time and nod in the right places. This will show your interviewer that you are listening to what’s being said.
  • Handle technical glitches with grace. If something goes wrong, remain calm and friendly while you troubleshoot. Don’t be afraid to ask to hang up the call and try again if you think that’s necessary.
  • Disconnect at the end of the call. A silly tip, perhaps, but you don’t want the interviewer to hear anything that you let slip that’s not meant for their ears!

2. Phone interviews

During a phone interview, keep in mind that the interviewer cannot see your face. It’s all in your voice.

This is why it’s vital to stay in the moment during this interview. Don’t get distracted and don’t let your mind wander.

Keep on listening – really listening – and keep your voice upbeat. You’ll come across as engaged with the conversation and that’s exactly what the interviewer wants.

3. In-person interviews

  • Arrive in New Zealand at least two days before your interview. Jet lag is guaranteed to trip you up during the interview! The extra day is also useful for last-minute prepping.
  • Make lists. It’s the best way to see to it that you pack everything you need. Passports, interview outfit pieces, documents – it all goes on the list!
  • Pack more than one interview outfit. More pieces give you more choice on the day. Plus, should the unthinkable happen – toothpaste on a cuff or a tear you didn’t notice back home – you still have something to wear.
  • Take documents in double. Print your CV but also have a backup on a memory stick. If you have a portfolio and you’re taking the hard copy, also have it online or on your laptop. This way, you’ll always have something to show should prints get lost or damaged during your travels.

Final tips for your New Zealand job interview

You have to as flexible as possible for online or telephonic interviews. There’s a very good chance that the interview happens at an odd time thanks to time differences.

Finally, be online or at your phone at least 15 minutes before your interview. The same goes for the in-person interview. It doesn’t matter what form the interview takes – being late is never an option!
