[macfod]

Can someone advise on this please?


Has anyone heard of a compnay called newjobz ?

They seem keen as an agency, but of course they charge $297 for listing you on there books. :icon_confused:

Here's a link to a previous discussion on this company.

I think you'll find that the $297 is for registering only and there will be other much heftier costs if they find you a job.

Thanks Mother Bear a mind of information as always..
I.m loathe to use them any further as it would appear you cannot beat the personal tocuh ans I dont mind knocking on doors if needed.

On the ITA- as always I'm a little confused!
When should this be applied for! :icon_confused: :icon_biggrin:

I believe you can only apply for your ITA once you have been selected after submitting your EOI. The one follows on from the other. The EOI (Expression of Interest) means that you are interested in applying to go to NZ and the ITA (Intention to Apply) means just that, you are intending to take it a step further and apply to go to NZ. If you are accepted after submitting your EOI, NZIS send you the ITA forms to complete.

I haven't gone through the process yet, but this is how I see it.

I see .. so mmm

You cannot apply for your EOI until you have enough points ( 100 minimum) or a offer of a job..
The with the EOI you apply for a ITA..

So, it could be apply for air tickets
Apply for jobs
apply for EOI with a LTBV in amongst that somewhere :icon_wink: :icon_biggrin:

1. Get 100
2. Submit your EOI

Assuming everything looks good to them...
3. Invitation To Apply (ITA)
4. Verification process (police check, medical, etc)
5. Pretty blue sticker

I think when you apply is a completely individual thing depending on your circumstances.

If you require the points from a job offer, then obviously you have to wait till then to send in an EOI.

If selected you have 4 months from receiving your ITA to complete and return it back. They may allow you extra time under some extenuating circumstances, but this cannot be guarenteed.

If you do not need the points from a job offer then you can apply anytime you like. You application will probably be processed a little slower though.

You can take up to 3 years to move out to NZ after you have been granted PR
