Finding a job

How quickly you will be able to find work in New Zealand depends on the job market in your field, your credentials and whether you will have to be licensed or not, among other criteria.

A good way to start your search is by going to job banks and other online job services. In New Zealand, it is often a good idea to have your credentials, i.e. diplomas, degrees, certificates etc., evaluated in order to see how they compare to New Zealand standards.

You might have to take additional assessments once you're in New Zealand, or get licensed to practice in your field by a New Zealand regulatory body.
