Hiya, I can;t say for 1-3 as I was never interviewed, but as for job sites, check out Indeed and Seek as they are big here. Also sign up to the workhere.co.nz and New Zealand Now sites as they give good info. Companies seeking candidates from these sites are often aware of the immigration process and may also be able to help with processing.

HTH,

Thank you my friend

 

I just re-read your post and I realise you meant interviews for work, not for the visa ;-)

I did my interview via Skype with a company that knew and understood the difficulties with hiring international workers. The questions would be the same as you would expect in a local job market interview, but be prepared for the "Why do you want to come to NZ" type questions, and answer honestly. Kiwis are very straight forward and aren't big on BS.

Key thing is finding a company willing to look at you prior to having a visa (I only qualified if I found a job, exactly that Catch-22). The sites I mentioned often have just those types of company. If you qualify without a job, then you've far more options.

With Skype it's important that no matter the time difference you dress as you would for any interview, even in your own home. Make sure the wall behind you is plain and unadorned, and the the camera is level with you and not wonky. Make sure you're comfortable as you could be sitting there for an hour or more, and fidgeting on camera is really annoying as it blurs or stutters.
