Hello,
My apologies in advance for constantly asking the same questions over and over but as you all know there is a constant element of confusion in regards to "how do I get into NZ?". My questions are also driven by the fear that maybe I am not going to be eligible (especially after making so many friends on this forum). Needless to say, once I complete and obtain my Certificate in Technical Communication, which I hope to do over the next 6 months, I will have 100 points without a job offer.
I want to move to NZ with 100 points in my pocket, find a job, obtain a work permit and apply for residence after working for the mandatory time.
I have been told to apply under the Skilled Migrant policy but as I really don't see my profession on any of the lists on NZIS website, I am worried that I will have a problem. I am not a nurse or a doctor or an IT specialist or a pig farmer or a professional paddock hole digger - I am an Office Manager/Personal Assistant. I presently hold the position of Head of Administration. I have been doing administrative work for 20 years and started as an Executive Assistant. I see that there are a lot of jobs advertised in this area (not in Palmy North) but I am concerned that I won't be wanted
I am in contact with a consultant and she has been very helpful to the point of assessing my points and I will use her when it comes to handling my paperwork etc. But, there are so many who have passed through this forum I am sure somebody can advise me.
MB, you definitely seem to be able to find information on the NZIS website that I have never seen and I would have thought that I had seen every page or spin-off page on that site!
Appreciate any feedback.
Cheers,
Shell
