Resources to help with the Career
Decision Making Process
As a university graduate, you will have a range
of career choices. Through academic study
you will have developed valuable knowledge
and skills, including the ability to think and
communicate effectively and a proven ability
to learn.
Take the time to work out what your career
choices are and what you really want to do, as
making an informed decision will contribute to
a successful and satisfying career path.
Career choice is an active process and should
be a rewarding experience in its own right.
Exploring the possibilities involves analysing
yourself – what you want and what you have
to offer – and finding out about different jobs
in the labour market. The Career Decision
Making Model provides a framework to help
you discover your options.
The resource suggestions listed below can
help you with this process.
1. Assess Yourself
3. Evaluate Options
• Book an express appointment or Career Consultation
session with a Career Consultant on UC CareerHub
(www.careerhub.canterbury.ac.nz).
Some possible ways to evaluate your options in relation to what you
know about yourself and your opportunities:
• Use the career planning card sorts available in the
Careers Resource Area.
• Complete S.W.O.T. (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats)
analysis exploring each option
• Identify the pros and cons of each career choice
• Borrow a career planning book.
• Notice your ‘gut feeling’ and tap and tappin into your intuition to
guide your decision
2. Opportunity Awareness
• Log onto UC CareerHub (www.careerhub. canterbury.ac.nz) and learn
more about Student and Graduate Recruitment, and immediate
job vacancies.
• Attend Employer Recruitment Presentations on campus as
advertised on UC CareerHub under the Events section.
• Talk with people who work in jobs you would like to do.
(See ‘Informational Interviews’ on page 13).
• Think about what decision making strategies you have used
successfully in the past to make important decisions and and try to
apply those strategies now
• Visualise yourself having made the decision. Imagine yourself in the
type of jobs you might like to do. Notice how this makes you think
and feel.
• Talk with people you trust to help you make the decision e.g. parents,
siblings, lecturers, career consultants, friends etc.
• Refer to New Zealand and International based career planning and
job search websites including:
• www.canterbury.ac.nz/careers
• www.prospects.ac.uk
• www.canterbury.ac.nz/careers/documents/
Graduate-Destination-Survey.pdf
• www.careers.govt.nz
4. Find Work Opportunities
• Browse job websites and notice any skill shortages, demands or gaps.
• Identify an area you could contribute to, or niche in.
• Scope the news for employers /organisations.
• Talk to industry professionals for advice (see page 13).
• www.graduatecareers.com.au

Co-curricular Record (CCR)
Develop your work-readiness skills by
participating in the Co-curricular Record
(CCR). The CCR prepares you with the skills
employers seek from graduates and provides
a record of your involvement in pre-approved
activities outside of your academic study.
By participating in the CCR you’ll not only
improve your chances when looking for job
opportunities, scholarships and study abroad
experiences, but you’ll also have fun while
developing your skills in teamwork, leadership,
communication, problem solving, etc. Every
12 quality hours of active participation in an
activity can be claimed. The CCR is a great way
to show employers how you have gone beyond
study and engaged with UC and the wider
community.
Career Activator Career Activator is a CCR
activity option that focuses on increasing
students’ employability and career
management skills. The programme offers oneon-one appointments, seminars and online
modules to suit individual needs. Participants
are also encouraged to seek work experience.
Full details on the CCR and all activities are
available on the CCR webpages:
www.canterbury.ac.nz/ccr
You can register with the CCR, apply to join
activities and submit a claim for recognition on
your Co-curricular Record through CareerHub:

Student & Graduate Recruitment
Student & Graduate Recruitment
includes Employer Recruitment
Presentations, Careers Fairs and
events, campus interviews and
associated activities, and brings to
campus a wide range of employers
both national and international
who recruit:
• Pre-final year students for Summer Internship
or vacation work experience which may lead
to graduate employment offers.
• Final year students for graduate employment
which will commence the following year.
• Students and Graduates for immediate part
and full time vacancies.
Who participates?
Many different types of employers participate in
student and graduate recruitment including:
• Large and small organisations
• National and international organisations
• Accounting firms
• State sector
• Engineering companies
• Law firms
See the Recruiting Employers list on
pages 41 – 54 for more details.
Many of these employers seek students and
graduates from a wide range of disciplines. Don’t
make the mistake of thinking, for example,
that you need a Commerce degree to apply for
a Management Trainee position. In the past,
graduates from Arts, Science and Engineering
have also been accepted for these programmes,
so stay open to opportunities.
Another common misconception is that
employers are seeking graduates with top
academic results. In some cases this may be
true, but the majority of employers consider
employability factors such as relevant work
experience, skills, strengths, attitude, personality,
interests and team fit also.
What happens?
UC CareerHub
Full details of Student & Graduate Recruitment
and associated Careers, Internships &
Employment activities are available through
UC CareerHub.
www.careerhub.canterbury.ac.nz
Posters
Some employers may also provide publicity
posters which are displayed on Careers
noticeboards in university libraries, lecture
blocks and departments. However don’t solely
rely on the noticeboards to find out about career
opportunities as a large number of employers
prefer to advertise on line instead.
Targeted emails and mail outs
Careers, Internships & Employment also forwards,
on behalf of employers, publicity to specific
course groups via email. We recommend that you
get into the habit of checking your student email
address daily.
Employer Recruitment
Presentations
Employers visit the campus from February
onwards to tell students about the student and
graduate employment opportunities they are
offering. Employer Recruitment Presentations
are held during the day or in the early evening on
campus. Some are formal and others are informal
however, smart casual dress is recommended.
These sessions may include information
about the:
• Organisation
• Nature of the jobs
• What the employer is seeking
• Training and development
programmes offered and the
• Application procedure.
Often employers will bring recent graduates
with them, so attendance at the Employer
Recruitment Presentations is a particularly
good way to find out what an organisation
is really about and to expand your network
of industry contacts.
Students at all levels should attend these
Employer Recruitment Presentations. Even if
you’re in your first or second year, listening to
what employers have to say is a very good way
of helping you make decisions about your career
direction. It may also provide you with ideas
about who to approach for work experience.
Attend a wider range of Employer Recruitment
Presentations than those of immediate
interest as this raises your awareness of
opportunities that you may not have considered.
It is particularly important to attend Employer
Recruitment Presentations for employers you are
making applications to.
NB: not all employers give Employer Recruitment
Presentations.

You can access your internal transcript
through MyUC https://myuc.canterbury.ac.nz
You can request a copy of your ‘unofficial’
academic transcript by emailing
[email protected]. This will be sent
to you via email and there is no charge. The
‘unofficial’ version of your academic transcript
will display the details of your academic record.
For details on the cost and how to order your
‘official’ academic transcript, go to:
http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/graduation/
transcripts/order.shtml For online or
emailed applications, you can have the
‘official’ version scanned at the Copy Centre:
www.ceps.canterbury.ac.nz/copycentre/.
Academic transcripts can take 3–4 days to
process so we recommend students request one
early in the year to save last minute hassles. Do
not send the original of your ‘official’ academic
transcript to an employer – a copy is sufficient.
Justice of the Peace
www.canterbury.ac.nz/theuni/jplist.shtml
If you require a Justice of the Peace on campus to
certify copies of original documents please go to
the above link.
Recruitment material
Most employers encourage Students & Graduates
to visit their website for information about
current recruitment opportunities. An increasing
number of large employers have a specific
website for Student & Graduate Recruitment.
All employers recruiting at the University of
Canterbury will have their vacancy(s) on UC
CareerHub. UC CareerHub job notices give you
direct access to these websites. Some employers
also provide brochures and handouts on their
organisation. These are available from the current
Student & Graduate Recruitment display stands
at Careers, Internships & Employment.
Applying
Most employers require you to provide them with
a CV, covering letter and a copy of your academic
transcript. You may also be asked to complete
an application form, of which copies are often
available to download from UC CareerHub. An
increasing number of employers now require
students to complete an online application via
their website with copies of your CV etc attached.
8
Please check the relevant Job notice carefully for
each individual employer’s application procedure
and closing date. Follow every instruction. It is
vital that your application is correct, complete,
and in the right place at the right time.
Applications being sent directly to an employer
must reach them on or before the closing
date. Application details may be in either the
employer’s Job listing on UC CareerHub, in their
recruitment material or on their website.
We recommend applying before the last day.
Campus interviews
Many employers involved in Student & Graduate
Recruitment return to the campus to interview
selected applicants, using interview rooms
organised by Careers, Internships & Employment.
In most instances the employer will contact you
directly to arrange a suitable interview time.
Please be flexible when arranging interview
times. If you are invited to attend an interview
during study breaks or exam time you are able
to politely ask for a more mutually convenient
time. Employers know that Careers, Internships

information database
The first step is to start building your contact list.
You want names, contact details and possible
openings or positions.
Create a Job Search Diary
Write down:
• Every contact you find, how you heard of
that person and what you could talk to
them about.
• Communications you have with that person,
by phone, fax, email, in person etc.
• Actions you will take as a result of your
communication with that person, e.g. other
people to ring, ring back in a month’s time,
send in CV etc.
• Actions that person is going to take on
your behalf e.g. going to pass on your CV
to their superior.
Diary all important dates. Check your diary every
day to see what has happened and what your
next step is.

Contact sources
People:
• Everyone is a potential contact
– just start asking!
• Large numbers of graduates are successful
in obtaining work through friends, family,
colleagues, past graduates and other
contacts, including local business people and
community members.
•
•
•
Information resources:
Look in the Careers Resource Area for information
including:
• Print media, employer publications
and newsletters.
• Business Directories and the New Zealand
Yellow Pages.
• Visit the “Job Hunting” section of
www.canterbury.ac.nz/careers to research
company directories online.
•
•
Other sources:
• Build up contacts in your field of interest
through part-time, voluntary, vacation work
and work experience.
• Join relevant professional associations and
societies and attend professional gatherings.
• Attend relevant seminars, forums, talks,
exhibitions and conferences.
• Use social media, such as LinkedIn.
• Speak with Academic staff who may have
industry contacts and information about
previous employers of graduates.
• Build connections through your leisure
interests and further study.
Informational interviews
The purpose of an ‘Informational Interview’ is to
research a field of work of interest to you – not
to ask for a job. It is a way to gain information
on employment trends, skills required by
employers, as well as confirm whether it is an
area of work you are interested in pursuing or
not. Informational interviewing increases your
knowledge about your fields of interest, helps
you clarify and refine your career goals and
establish a network of contacts which could
lead to employment opportunities, useful
mentoring or invitations to relevant
industry events.
Prior to the interview
• Identify businesses to approach by looking
at company directories online via:
www.canterbury.ac.nz/careers. Business and
situations vacant pages of community and
12
•
•
•
major daily newspapers and trade/industry
magazines are other sources to identify
businesses to approach.
Ask family, friends, clubs and associations
you belong to for contacts.
Research companies/organisations via their
websites and publications so you are familiar
with what they do prior to visiting them.
Contact the appropriate person (via email,
telephone or in writing). Contact the
receptionist first and ask them to put you
through to the most appropriate person if
you are unsure who the best person is for you
to speak to. Remember to get that person’s
name and job title.
Introduce yourself, let them know who
referred you (if applicable), what you would
like to discuss and ask if you could arrange a
brief meeting (15 minutes or so) at a mutually
suitable time.
Be prepared that the employer potentially
might want to speak with you then and there.
Be clear about your skills, interests and goals
and how this information will assist you in
your job search.
Prepare and rehearse your questions in
advance – you may like to email them to the
contact person in advance.
Dress professionally and appropriately to
make a good impression.
At the informational interview
• Remember this is career research, not a
job interview.
• You ask the questions.
• Show interest in them – ask about their
background, qualifications and relevant
experience.
• Take notes and collect any literature or
relevant web addresses.
• Ask for further contacts and ask permission to
use their name as your referral source.
• Inquire whether it would be possible to spend
a short period work-shadowing someone in a
role of interest to you.
• Take along your CV.
• Keep to the time you negotiated.
After the interview
• Immediately take notes of all the information
you have gathered.
• Write a thank you note.
• Keep a comprehensive record of all
contacts made.
• Follow up all referrals.
• Keep in contact with the person.
• When you get a job, let people know.
They may become part of your network.
The direct approach
This means approaching employers directly for
work, whether in person, by telephone or by
sending a cover letter with a CV (by post, email
or via websites). This type of activity is used as a
legitimate method of finding work in most areas
of the labour market.
Accurate targeting is crucial in this approach,
so the amount of time you spend researching
the company and who to target within it, will
be much greater than the amount of time you
spend making the contact. As with networking,
clarity about what you have to offer, plus a
businesslike approach, are essential to making
a good first impression.
When you make contact
• Be explicit about why the job, organisation or
industry appeals. In a cold call exercise have
your CV prepared, and be able to indicate to
the employer your interest in the organisation
and the type of position you want, or type of
enterprise you are considering starting.
• Use positive language.
• Get the name of a contact rather than just
their title e.g. if you are writing to, or emailing,
the Human Resources Manager phone the
Receptionist to find out their name.
• Follow the principles of writing an effective
cover letter and CV.
• Be professional in your approach to
the employer.
Sending a CV and letter expressing your interest
in working for a particular organisation is a
popular job hunting technique. As a result
employers may be receiving these kinds of
approaches daily. Therefore it is important to do
some research on the organisation and consider
where you might fit into it. Indicating at the
end of your letter that you will follow up with a
phone call will generally ensure that the letter is
read and considered. This also provides you with
another avenue for making contact. Aim to build
rapport and maintain contact moving forward to
keep informed as to whether any job vacancies
have emerged that you might be suited to.
Creating your own job
• In your research you may find an employer
who could use your skills even though they
haven’t realised this yet.
• You need to research the company/
organisation’s markets, outputs etc and be
able to illustrate succinctly how your skills will
complement what they do.
Informational Interviews
As you are not interviewing for a job, it is
up to you to ask the questions. Therefore,
always go to an informational interview
well prepared with questions. Even if the
informational interview is very informal or
spontaneous, you will get much more out
of it if you put time into thinking about
what you want to know.
The following questions are a guide.
Ask questions that are going to give
you relevant information to assist you to
make an informed decision. Remember: use
open ended questions that elicit more than
a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer.
• Concentrate on the needs of the company and
adopt a positive tone.
• Establish your communication as a serious
dialogue between equals.
• You may identify a gap in the market that you
could niche in.
Telephone skills
Professional introduction
Quickly identify who you are and what you
have to offer by developing a summary of your
qualifications, skills, experience, achievements,
motivations and aspirations. Practice it until it
sounds natural and fluent. It should be brief,
2 minutes being the maximum time, where
importance also needs to be placed upon
expressing your reason for being interested in
their organisation.
While on the telephone
• Allow time for the other person to think
and respond.
• Smile – it makes you sound friendlier.
• Keep your head up, or stand up. This results
in a more upright posture and more energy in
your voice. Speak clearly.
• Don’t ramble and do take notes. The other
person is likely to be busy and will value
your efficiency.
• Treat the call as an interview. Be prepared to
speak about your skills and how they match
the employer’s requirements.
• Check with the other person that you have
called at an appropriate time - if not briefly
outline the reason for your call and ask when a
more appropriate time would be to call back.
Receiving calls
• Be prepared for calls to come at any time and
prepare others in your household if using a
land-line. Ensure a good reception for
the caller.
• Keep a copy of your CV, your list of questions
and pen and paper by the telephone, along
with notes about the contacts you are
expecting to hear from.
Remember Careers, Internships & Employment is
here to help you. Bring some of your planning or
research material to an Express Appointment for
further advice.

Researching the organisation
Possible questions to research
When approaching an organisation for a job,
or when invited to attend a job interview, it is
important to have background knowledge of
that organisation. Researching a prospective
employer demonstrates your level of interest
in working for them and enables you to show a
‘match’ between you and their organisation at
the job interview.
Some of the information you might want to
research may include:
• What type of business they are.
• Where they operate from, where they have
branches, subsidiaries etc.
• What their major products and/or services are.
• Who their clients/customers are.
• What their future prospects and plans are.
• Current issues and challenges, for that
company, specifically, and for the industry.
• What their financial situation is.
• What the name of their Personnel or Human
Resources Manager is.
So, how can you identify organisations to
research? Refer to the resources listed below.
Information on some small businesses may
not be as easily accessible through the sources
mentioned below; however, it is still important
to find out as much as possible before your
interview. Ask your industry contacts (colleagues,
lecturers, other students, community members)
what they know about the business. If
possible, speak to someone who works for the
organisation.
Information sources
Organisation websites
For a start, check out whether the organisation
has a website. Use a search engine or one of
the online directories to locate their website.
See www.canterbury.ac.nz/careers. Read the
information provided on organisation websites
and consider the questions as listed above.
Most organisations have their annual report
accessible on their website. Typical website
headings under which annual reports can be
found include: investor information, corporate
information, about our business and
financial information.

Work – international
Factors to consider
If you would like to work overseas, begin your
international job search in advance as it is likely
to take some time to plan and organise. How easy
it will be to achieve will depend on a number of
factors including your ability to get work permits
for other countries and the type of work you
are seeking. If you are an international student,
contact your family and friends to learn more
about what is happening in the job market in
your home country.

Becoming an Entrepreneur
An entrepreneur generates one or more new
business ideas, then through the process of
research and development, packages the idea
into a new product or service for the market
place.
Career Competencies
Self-awareness, career exploration,
research, planning, intention building, and
implementation of career plans have been
identified as important career competencies
and are especially important when becoming an
entrepreneur. A well-developed identity achieved
through self-awareness assists individuals
in identifying good career opportunities
which complements their values, interests,
characteristics and preferences, and can lead
to enhanced career development, stability
and success.
Developing Entrepreneurial Intention
and Behaviour
Enhancing a positive attitude towards
entrepreneurship, developing self-efficacy,
and creating an environment supportive
of entrepreneurship is strongly correlated
to individuals following through with
entrepreneurial goals and engaging in
entrepreneurial behaviours. This can increase
capacity for career success. Additionally,
being apart of an environment which fosters
values such as self-directedness, stimulation,
achievement, and universalism, assists in
developing a positive entrepreneurial attitude

Cover letters (letters of application)
Cover letters (also known as
Letters of Application) are
generally used in two job search
situations: when applying for an
advertised vacancy and when
making a direct approach to an
employer.
• Use no more than one A4 page (even if you’re
sending the letter as an email – the employer
will probably print it out).
Advertised vacancies
• Keep your sentences short and clear.
When applying for advertised or known
vacancies, a cover letter should be customised
specifically for each position for which you are
applying. Never send a cover letter that reads
like a circular which is being sent to every
employer on a list as it is not likely to make a
favourable impression.
In the cover letter, you seek to persuade the
employer that you are a suitable candidate
for the job, by illustrating you have the key
qualifications, skills, experience and personality
traits outlined in the job description or at the
recruitment presentation.
A well written cover letter will interest the
employer in reading your CV to learn more
about you.
Direct approach to
an employer
When making an unsolicited application, it
is important that each cover letter is written
specifically for the organisation you are
approaching. Researching the organisation (via
websites, through your network of contacts or
other resources) is critical to producing a wellfocused sales pitch. Through your research,
identify what qualifications, skills, experience
and personality traits are or might be of interest
to the employer you are approaching, and make
sure you have highlighted these in both your
cover letter and your CV. See the section on the
Direct Approach on page 12 in this guide.
Formatting guidelines
• Avoid coloured or lined paper.
• Use black ink and avoid block capitals.
• Type your cover letter – unless the employer
has specifically requested it to be handwritten.
• For an effective layout, use appropriate spacing
and margins, and try to balance your letter in
the centre (top to bottom) of the page.
• Choose whether using bullet points and/or
paragraphs will be the most effective way for
you to write your cover letter.
• Use size 10–12 text
Content guidelines
• If you know the name of the person to whom
you are sending the cover letter, use their
title and name in the salutation (e.g. ‘Dear
Ms Smith’). Sign your letter ‘Yours sincerely’.
If their name does not clearly identify their
gender, write their full name (e.g. ‘Dear Pat
Smith’) and sign your letter ‘Yours sincerely’. If
you do not know the name of the person you
are writing the letter to, use ‘Dear Sir / Madam’
and sign your letter ‘Yours faithfully’.
• Interpret the organisation’s website and
literature to demonstrate you understand their
needs and how the information applies to you
and the job.
• Remember when writing a paragraph that it
usually consists of 3–5 sentences and the first
sentence of each paragraph needs to introduce
what that paragraph is about.
• Make sure you use examples to illustrate what
you have to offer.
• Avoid repetition of ideas, words and phrases
in sentences. Use a thesaurus or the list of
action verbs on page 30. Try to use a variety
of sentence structures – don’t start every
sentence with ‘I’.
• Un-paragraph or un-bullet point the
information (temporarily) and look at each
sentence you have written. Put each sentence
on its own line. Does each sentence make
sense individually?
• Check each sentence to ensure your grammar,
spelling and punctuation are correct.
• Re-paragraph your letter, ensuring that your
points are being presented in a logical and
structured manner within each paragraph and
within the overall cover letter.
• Have someone proof read your cover letter for
spelling, punctuation and grammar.
18
Are you ready to write your
cover letter?
• Do you know who to address the letter
to? If not – find out, where possible.
• Have you thought about why you want
this job and to work for this organisation?
Be specific.
• Are you clear on the top 5 or 6 key
competencies/ skills, experience,
qualifications and/or personal attributes
the employer is looking for and how you
can demonstrate a match between you
and the position?
• Have you decided what makes you
different or unique? What makes you
stand out from other applicants? What
are your ‘points of difference’?
• Think about how you can interest the
employer in what you have to say
– what are your ‘headlines’ to hook them
in and interest them in reading your CV?

Preparing a Curriculum Vitae (CV)
What is a CV?
A curriculum vitae is a summary of your
personal, educational and work history. It
is designed to interest a potential employer
in interviewing you. The style of CV can vary
depending on the stage in your life/career,
the type of employer or job vacancy, whether
you are canvassing or applying for a known
vacancy and if applying for a job in different
countries.
In general the most preferred style of CV in
New Zealand is a combination of reverse
chronological (date ordered) and functional
(skills) information, which allows you to
arrange the most relevant facts in easy-tofollow and targeted sections. Some employers
have particular requirements, so follow their
instructions carefully. Below are three easy
steps to writing an effective CV.
Step one: Target your CV
Identify ‘scannable’ words
Research the employer
Research the employer(s) and the industry(s)
you are interested in. What do they consider
important? What are their values? What type
of people work for them? What might
interest them?
• Employers may scan your CV as an image and
use computer software to create a text file
from it, even when you send a paper copy.
Whether you’ve sent a paper or electronic
version of your CV, employers may use artificial
intelligence software to ‘read’ the text and
extract key words and information.
• Use any sources of information you can find,
including websites, press articles, personal
contacts, industry forums etc. See page 14.
• A scannable CV can contain the same
information as your standard CV, but there are
two important points to consider:
• Find out if the employer has any specific
requirements or preference in regard to your
CV format and order of information on it.
– a scannable CV has to have facts for the
artificial intelligence to extract. The more
skills and facts you provide, the more
opportunities you’ll have for your skills to
match available positions (getting ‘hits’);
– Make sure you use the same words as
the employer when describing your skills
and experience as the software may look
for those key words. For example, if the
advertisement says ‘excellent people skills’,
your CV should have a heading ‘People
skills’ not ‘Interpersonal Skills’ or ‘Getting
on with other people’.
• If you’re posting a paper copy of your CV, it
needs to be good quality, with no unusual
formatting or graphics, with dark ink on white
paper to make it easy for the computer to
distinguish the words.
Understand the position description
• If you are applying for a specific position, go
through the job description and highlight
any qualifications, skills, experience and
personal attributes the employer mentions.
You need to give examples of where you have
demonstrated these in your CV.
• If you’re not applying for a specific position,
think about what skills, experience and
personal attributes the employer is likely to
want, based on all the information you have
been able to find out about them.
Match yourself to the job
Brainstorm how your key skills, experience,
qualifications and personal attributes fit what
the employer is looking for. Prioritise the list and
use examples from your work, study, voluntary
work, community involvement, interests or
personal life (e.g. family commitments) to
illustrate your suitability.
• For in-depth information and examples of
scannable keyword CV’s, see Resumes in
Cyberspace by Pat Criscito or E-Resumes by
Susan Britton Whitcomb and Pat Kendall. We
also hold copies of a DVD called ‘Selection
Success in one’. All of these are available on
loan at Careers, Internships & Employment.
Acknowledgment: CAREERXROADS 2000

Management Sites on the Web.
Step two: Content of your CV
Personal details
• Write your name and term-time home
addresses if different. If you are using two
addresses give dates you will be at each one.
• Include your landline and/or mobile
telephone number(s).
• Include your email address.
• It may be helpful to indicate whether you are
a New Zealand citizen, Permanent Resident or
hold a valid New Zealand Work Permit.
• Information relating to age, gender, marital
status, religion and health need not be listed
for a New Zealand CV.
Career objective (optional)
• If you wish to include a career objective,
place it near the beginning of your CV.
• Make sure it is short and specific to the
particular organisation you are approaching.
• Alternatively you may title this section ‘Profile’
and give a brief summary of your most
relevant strengths, skills and experience for the
position.
Education & qualifications
• Include your degree indicating major
subject(s), thesis or project title. You can write
this in brief and state ‘See Academic Transcript
attached’ and/or include your grades in the
body of your CV.
• Write the name of the institution you
are studying at and the year dates.
Include information on when you are
expecting to complete your studies and be
available to commence employment.
• Include secondary school details if relevant.
In some cases employers require these. It is
not necessary to include copies of certificates
and awards from school.
• List any other qualifications or training
courses that you have completed and/or are
working towards.
• If you are including qualifications gained
overseas you should include a brief
explanation of them, including whether they
have been recognised by the New Zealand
Qualifications Authority and/or New Zealand
Immigration for employment purposes in
New Zealand.
• Show the information in reverse chronological
order i.e. most recent information first.
20
Achievements
• Mention positions of responsibility you
have held, such as Class Representative,
captain or coach of a team, or any special
awards received.
• If you have many school, university and/or
any other achievements, consider dividing
them into categories such as: cultural, sports,
leadership (positions of responsibility) and
academic (awards).
• If you are a job seeker who has had family
commitments while studying you may want to
include these in this section.
Work Experience
• Write the job title, name of employer,
location and period of employment
(e.g. Nov 2016 – Feb 2017).
• List your most recent position first, and then
continue in reverse chronological order.
• Provide a brief description of the
responsibilities/tasks of the position.
Use action verbs to describe these
(see page 30).
• Note the relevant skills you developed and
achievements/accomplishments you gained
while working for each employer.
• Suggest and interpret how your work
experience relates to the employer’s activities.
Note any special projects or tasks you
completed and responsibilities you had.
• Consider dividing this section into ‘Relevant
Work Experience’ or ‘Other Work Experience’.
Key skills/competencies & attributes
• Identify the key skills/competencies an
employer is looking for in the position
description. Put these as headings. Use
examples to illustrate your skills, experience
and personal attributes, giving an employer a
context to understand where you have gained
or demonstrated these. Order your skills/
competencies and attributes by relevance
to the job.
• If you choose to give examples of the
application of your skills and attributes in both
your Work and Key Skills sections,
take care to avoid simply repeating the
same information.
• Use the STAR principle in writing a skill or
competency. That is, think of:
–A Situation and/or Task you have done.
The Action steps you took in that situation
and/or task. The Result/outcome.
– For example: ‘Researched, prepared and
delivered a presentation to over 50 students
in a management course. Received positive
feedback from lecturer and classmates.
Achieved an A grade.
Interests
• Include your interests – sports, cultural groups,
hobbies and volunteer work.
• List any clubs or societies you belong to.
• Interests describe aspects of your personality
to an employer and highlight your skill
development relevant to the workplace
(for example, team skills or leadership
potential).
• Provide enough detail for the employer to
understand the extent of your involvement
and achievement in these activities.
• Your referees should know you well enough
to support you in your job applications.
• List your referees’ names, position or
relationship to you, addresses, email addresses
and telephone numbers on your CV and/or
application form.
• Generally, do not attach written references
to your application unless the employer has
specifically asked for them. However, you can
attach one written reference if you think that
will ‘add value’ to your application. Draw the
employer’s attention to it in your cover letter.
• Always obtain your referees’ consent before
giving their name and contact details. Offer
your referees a copy of your CV and discuss it
with them. A copy of the job description and/
or advertisement for any position you are
applying to is also useful background
for referees.
Referees
• List two or three referees. For example,
these can be a current or previous employer,
a university staff member, or a sports coach.
21
Step three:
Presentation of your CV
Impact
• The aim of the CV is to get you an interview.
You will have about 30 seconds of the
employer’s time to make an impact. This
means your CV must gain the employer’s
attention immediately.
• Effective CV’s are targeted to the specific
employer you are sending it to. This means
adjusting it for each application. Create a
database/master CV that includes a range
of skills/competencies, attributes and
experiences from which you can then select
the most relevant examples for inclusion in
your CV for a particular position.
Format/layout
• The design, layout, order and style in which
you present your information in your CV is
for you to decide, unless the employer has
specified any particular guidelines.
• Length of a CV can vary – aim to be as concise
as possible. Typically no more than 2–3 pages
in length is appropriate in New Zealand.
• Allow plenty of ‘white space’ on each page,
so the CV looks professional, easy to read
and not crowded.
• Use clearly defined (bold) headings and
subheadings to make it easy for the employer
to find the information they’re looking for.
Keep headings consistent in font style and size
throughout.
• Make sure your CV is typed and looks
professional. Use white paper to print your CV
on as most employers photocopy CV’s to give
to interview panellists.
• If posting, don’t bind your CV but staple the
top left-hand corner of the pages together.
This enables the employer to easily photocopy
your CV if required.
• Typically, employers are asking for CVs to be
sent electronically. This can include sending
your CV as an attachment to an email or
attaching it to an online application form via
a link on a web page. Make sure your file is
in the format the employer has requested,
and that the file name includes your name
e.g. ‘FredJohnsonCV.docx’ rather than simply
‘CV.docx’.
• Your cover letter and CV are two halves of the
one application so there should be consistency
in their format and font.
22
Checklist – before you send cover
letter and CV
• H
ave you demonstrated how your
skills, qualifications, experience and
personal attributes match the 5–6 main
points the employer is looking for,
with examples?
• Have you included all the relevant
sections the employer has requested
and/or that you think are relevant?
• Have you made clear what is unique
about you? What makes you stand out
from other people?
• In your cover letter, have you been
specific about why you want this
job, and why you are interested in
working for this employer? Have you
demonstrated that you have thought
about the job, the organisation and the
industry and identified the fit with your
own aspirations?
• Have you asked someone else to read
through your cover letter and CV? Do
they give the impression you want to
make to the employer?
Content tips
• Present information in order of relevance to
the employer. For example, if previous work
experience is not particularly relevant to the
employer or the position, put your key skills
section before your work experience.
• Make sure your cover letter and CV
complement each other. Remove any
unnecessary repetition.
• Make sure your unique attributes are clear.
• Use the Action Verb List (see page 30)
to minimise word repetition.
Check over and proof read
• Check grammar and spelling very carefully.
Don’t rely on computer ‘spell checks’ to pick
up all errors.
• Ask someone else to check it over, as you
can often miss your own spelling and
grammatical mistakes.
• Attend a Careers, Internships & Employment
Express Appointment and get your CV checked.
Tip: Develop a database / master CV
containing sections for each of your
skills with examples of where you’ve
demonstrated those skills, then copy
and paste the relevant sections into
each new customised CV as appropriate.
Tip: Employers who recruit through Student
& Graduate Recruitment often require
full course details on your CV, and/or a
photocopy of your academic transcript.
Tip: You have 30 seconds to make the
right impression with an employer – use
it well to gain their attention and interest
immediately, highlighting your suitability
and ‘points of difference’.
Hints for specific situations
Academia
Academic CVs need extra sections covering your
academic achievements, research and teaching
interests, publications, conference attendance
and presentations. An academic CV may not
need to include a key skills section. Ask for our
handout Considering a Career in Academia.
Adult students – changing
career direction
• Review your work experience and the
requirements of the job you’re applying
for, and decide how much detail to put in.
Don’t include details of education or work
experience from more than 10 years ago,
unless it is directly relevant to the position you
are applying for.
• The main rule still applies – you need to make
it obvious to the employer that you have the
key skills and experience for the position. If
your work experience is recent and relevant to
the position, you may want to prioritise that
section and include relevant skills within your
description of the work experience.
If you’re looking to change direction and
your work experience is not directly relevant
to the position, prioritise your relevant skills
section and keep your work experience
short and concise.
Engineering
• Put details of your engineering experience
immediately after your education details and
achievements, perhaps in a separate section
to your other work experience. Any work
you have done as required by your degree
can be counted as relevant engineering
work experience, along with any additional
engineering work experience you have done.
• Engineering employers want graduates with
strong written and oral communication skills,
as well as engineering expertise. Your CV and
cover letter are your opportunity to show
the effectiveness of your written
communication skills.
Tip: Posting e-résumés on the web is a
popular job search technique. This allows
employers to access your information and
contact you without you having to search
for every vacancy. LinkedIn is a popular
tool for achieving this (www.linkedin.com).
For a comprehensive guide to preparing an
e-résumé, visit seek.co.nz
or www.damngood.com/jobseekers/tips.html
or www.eresumes.com
Government
• Government departments often ask
for evidence that you possess specific
competencies, which they specify in the job
description. You must provide a detailed
answer for each competency, highlighting how
you possess the skills and experience they are
looking for.
• When describing examples of where you have
demonstrated a particular competency, use
the STAR principle: outline the Situation/Task,
describe the Actions you took and finish by
mentioning the Result (see page 21).
Graphic design or ‘creative’ roles
• If being visually creative is a large part of
the job you’re applying for, be creative in the
appearance of your CV in your use of colour,
fonts, space, graphics etc.
• The information must still be clear, easy to
read and logically presented. The CV must also
photocopy well, so make sure any colours used
don’t cause information to disappear after
photocopying (e.g. text on a bright background
might not be legible after photocopying).
• Your CV is a showcase for your design
skills – think about what impression you
want to give.
International Employment
• If you’re looking for work internationally,
be aware that CV styles may vary in different
countries. Also, overseas employers may
not have experience with New Zealand
qualifications and may require more detail or
explanation of your studies.
• If you are applying for jobs in other countries
use the Going Global website. UC has a paid
subscription to this site, which you can access
by using the link https://online.goinglobal.com/
from any device linked to the UC network. This
enables you to find over 100 pages of job search
related information for over 35 different countries.
Alternatively, limited public access is available
via www.goinglobal.com.
• Overseas job search websites are listed in the
“Job Hunting” section of the UC Careers &
Employment website
www.canterbury.ac.nz/careers
Law
• Law firms frequently want to see a full academic
history, including full university and high
school results. Include the results in reverse
chronological order in your CV and attach a copy
of your university academic transcript as well.
Check if the employer has asked for certified
copies of transcripts – these need to be signed
by a solicitor or Justice of the Peace.
• Law employers may also want to see written
school references/testimonials and test results.
Make sure you provide exactly what the employer
has asked for.
• Although grades are important, law firms may
be looking for a history of solid, not necessarily
outstanding, achievement, and a good culture
fit. They often want people who are enthusiastic
and energetic, well-rounded and with a
balanced lifestyle, so also include details of your
achievements, hobbies and interests.
• Make sure there are no mistakes and the CV flows
well – lawyers have to be careful, accurate, pay
attention to detail and communicate effectively.
Does your CV illustrate your ability to do this?
Marketing, sales, advertising
• Jobs in these areas require you to be persuasive.
Your CV and cover letter are examples of your
ability to market yourself – use the skills you’ve
learned in your degree, as well as your innate
abilities, to show how effectively you can
present yourself.
Tip: Come and talk to Careers, Internships
& Employment if you need assistance with
your CV. We are here to help you.

Teaching CVs
In addition to the general information on
writing an effective CV, Careers, Internships &
Employment would recommend the following
information for a teaching CV. Remember,
variations may occur depending on your area of
teaching:
• Highlight in your CV your ability to work in a
team, and to accept and act on advice given.
General tips
• Ask for feedback on your CV from Careers,
Internships and Employment staff.
Alternatively an academic staff member at the
College of Education maybe able to give you
feedback. If you use photos of you interacting
with children in your CV, remember children
must not be identifiable.
• Make sure you target your CV to the position
description and person specification. If in
doubt contact your prospective employer
directly and ask if they have any particular
requirements.
• Read your prospective employer’s newsletter,
website and ERO report. Ask your lecturers
about their knowledge of schools you are
applying to. Talk to classmates who have had
teaching placements there. These are all ideal
ways to inform your job application process
and understand the community that your
prospective employer is part of. • Some prospective employers will accept
your CV via email, others won’t. Check your
prospective employer’s preference. This
information may be listed at the bottom of the
information pack, or ask them.
• Prospective employers might like to meet with
you. If appropriate, make your appointment to
hand in your application in person.
• Keep your CV brief – usually no more than
2–4 pages.
28
• If appropriate for the position, consider how
you can use your creativity and imagination
in the presentation of your CV to ensure it
stands out.
Personal Details
• Indicate that you will be applying for your
provisional teacher registration number
when your official academic transcript has
been released. For example, you could state
this in your CV in this way: ‘Application yet
to be actioned’ or ‘application currently
being processed’.
• Identify if you are a NZ Citizen or Permanent
NZ resident.
• Make a note if you have your driver’s licence
and your own transport (if relevant).
• Photos are optional. If you do include some
make sure they show you in a professional and
positive light. Be selective – do not include
too many. Education & Qualifications
• Include any relevant professional development
you have had.
• As a beginning teacher include your Academic
Transcript with your job applications. Your
‘unofficial’ academic transcript may be
sufficient in the first instance. See page 8 of
this Guide for details on how you can order
your ‘official’ and ‘unofficial’ transcript.
Teaching Placements
• Starting with your most recent position,
include the year levels, names of associates
and schools, centres or services you have
taught at. Also include a brief summary of
what you ‘achieved’ on each placement

held, any extracurricular participation and
professional development attended.
• Where appropriate, include comments from
your professional practice records to support
your achievements in the classroom.

Curriculum Areas & Strengths
Additional Work Experience
• Give examples of your knowledge, experience
and strengths in different curriculum areas.
• State specific transferable skills and attributes
you have gained in other work experience
that are relevant to the teaching jobs you are
applying for.

• List any other relevant strengths / skills and
how they will benefit your teaching in the
positions are you applying for. Highlight
attributes such as being responsible, honest,
resilient, able to embrace diversity and use
your initiative.
Teaching Philosophy
• Your teaching philosophy needs to summarise
what you believe about teaching and learning,
based on your understanding of various
theories, models, approaches and classroom
experience. It needs to reflect your planned
practices and be congruent with your values
and beliefs.
• The length and presentation of your teaching
philosophy may vary as to what different
employers look for, but keep it relevant to the
application and concise. You can use your
creative flair, ideas, quotes etc in illustrating
your teaching philosophy. Talk to associate
teachers about how they have presented their
teaching philosophy in their CV, as a way of
generating ideas.
Achievements & Interests
• Make sure you include any sporting, cultural,
community, academic and leadership
achievements.
• Highlight your interests and any transferable
skills and personal attributes you have
gained that you would bring to the teaching
profession.
Referees
• Make sure you ask your referees for their
permission and that they will be supportive of
your application.
• Your final teaching placement associate
teacher reports – as well as speaking with your
most recent associate teachers – will be of
particular interest to a prospective employer
as they will provide evidence of your classroom
practice. Be aware your referees may have to
fill in a confidential referee report and submit
it directly to your prospective employer.
• Make sure you include your referees’ work,
home and mobile numbers (with their
permission). This way they can be contacted
during the evening, on the weekends or school
holidays if required.
• A character and/or work referee are also helpful
to include. Additional written references
supporting your application can be enclosed,
but consider their relevance to the position
you are applying for.
Professional knowledge / professional
practice / professional values &
relationships
• In summary, your CV needs to reflect the
Education Council of Aotearoa
New Zealand Graduating Teacher Standards
and how you have achieved these. See:
https://educationcouncil.org.nz/content/

Application forms
Many employers require
applicants to complete application
forms, either printed or on-line
via their website. Some ask for
the sort of information usually
required in a CV; however,
you should not write, ‘see CV
attached’, rather complete these
forms in full, answering all
questions.
Other application forms can be much more
complex and include questions that require you
to describe situations you have been in, how you
handled those situations and what the outcomes
were. Your response to these types of questions
demonstrates your knowledge, skills, abilities
and personal qualities to a prospective employer,
including your self-awareness skills.
For example:
• What is your proudest achievement and what
skills have you gained from it?
• Describe a leadership experience you have had,
and what you learned from it.
• Describe two of your qualities that you
consider important or special and why.
• What are your goals for the next three years?
Use the STAR principle (see page 21) to answer
these questions. Think carefully and write a draft
before submitting the form. Write using active
verbs (see page 30 for a list of action verbs),
I/me sentences and positive language. Don’t
skip questions. Fill out the form completely and
answer the questions thoroughly. Incomplete
or missing information could be a reason for
screening you out. Gathering all necessary
information and preparing documents can be
very time consuming. Some sites won’t allow
re-entry into your application, so ensure you
finish it in one sitting and allow yourself up to
two hours.
Job applications can be electronically scored,
where letters are automatically generated and
successful applicants are invited to attend an
assessment centre. For more information and
practice tests aimed at graduates read the
assessment centre information on pages 36–38
and visit www.shldirect.com.
Whether making a written or on-line application,
make sure you follow the instructions and
include the keywords from the selection criteria
provided. Always keep a copy of each application
form you complete to refer to if you gain an
interview, and also in case you are faced with
similar questions on another company’s form.
When a detailed form is provided, it may not be
necessary to provide a cover letter.
Useful hints and tips for completing
online applications:
• Start the process early – this takes time!
• Ensure you have affordable and reliable access
to the internet. It may be preferable to use the
access provided at the university. If you leave it
too late the competition for access to the site
may cause the system to crash.
• Review the organisation’s website, vacancy
description, and application form to get an
overview of what they require.
• Research the organisation: What skills are they
seeking? Do you meet the selection criteria?
What type of person is an ideal ‘fit’? What has
been happening in the organisation?
• Tailor every application to the needs of
each organisation.
• Print out the application form to use as a draft.
Complete responses off-line and cut and paste.
Edit as you would for a paper application.
• Give full answers with plenty of detail, using
examples from your academic, personal or
work experience.
• When describing activities, include dates, the
number of people involved, the frequency and
your work and personal gains.
• Ask someone else to read your responses and
to give you feedback from an employer’s point
of view.
• Use the spell checker or proof read thoroughly.
• Try to find out how the organisation will
search and select applications. Will they use
keyword searches or a backend tool that scores
responses (e.g. distinction results will score
higher than passes and 3 years of part-time
work will score higher than 1 year)?
• Use professional business language in
any telephone and email contact with
the organisation.
• Ensure your email address, voice mail
messages, and social media profiles and
interactions reflect the professional image you
want to convey.
• Save regularly when you are completing
the application. If you experience technical
difficulties with the website, don’t hesitate to
contact the organisation. If you have found
the job opportunity through UC CareerHub,
you can also contact Careers, Internships &
Employment, who will alert the organisation
for you.
• Save a copy of each application you submit
and make a note of any contact you have
made with the organisation in relation to
your application.
• Normally you will receive an email
acknowledging your application. Save the
record of acknowledgement just in case there
is a problem. If you haven’t received an email
and you would like to know that they have
received your application, feel free to contact
the company and talk to them directly.

Job interviews
An interview is a conversation
with a purpose, for both the
employer and the applicant.
The employer can learn about
the applicant as a person –
their personality, social skills,
general abilities and potential.
The applicant can learn more
about the organisation, the
position, career prospects, work
environment and the people
within the organisation.
Typical interview structure
Most interviews follow a similar structure, but
differences can exist. Make sure you research the
format, content and process of the interview you
have been invited to. Find out about the type of
interview, the timing and location.
Ask if there is any particular preparation you can
do. Find out if there is a panel interviewing you
and what their names and position titles are.
In a panel interview there may be three or more
interviewers. Usually one takes the chair and
introduces the others, each of whom takes turns
at asking questions. One member may simply
act as an observer. In answering questions, look
firstly at the person who is asking the question,
make eye contact with other members of the
panel and then finish by looking at the person
who asked you the question originally.
The typical interview structure shown here is a
guideline only:
• Introductions, handshakes and invitation
to take a seat.
• Opening small talk.
• You are encouraged to talk about yourself – for
example, ‘Tell me about yourself’.
• Questions are asked to build links between the
organisation and you. Some examples include,
‘Why do you want to work for us?’ ‘What
do you have to offer us?’ ‘What are your
career goals?’
• Behavioural interview questions are asked.
(See explanation below).
• The interviewer describes conditions of work,
such as hours of work, leave, and training.
• You are asked if you have any questions.
Prepare between 3–5 questions.
• Interviewer closes, thanks you, and an
exchange of mutual appreciation and
goodbyes take place.
32
Types of interviews
Behavioural interviews
This style of interview is used by most medium
and large businesses today. The interviewer is
looking for previous behavioural events that
illustrate a particular competency or skill set.
This is based on the premise that past behaviour
is the best predictor of future performance.
Questions will typically be prefaced by ‘give me
an example of’ or ‘tell me about a time’.
These events may then be probed further by:
How? Why? What?
Behavioural interview preparation
• Analyse the position description and
brainstorm behaviours associated with each
skill or competency.
• Identify examples (situations and experiences)
that best demonstrate these skills and traits.
Examples can come from your academic study,
interests, work and life experience.
• Apply the STAR model to help structure
your answers:
– S/T: Situation or Task: describe the situation
or the task you were set.
– A: Action or Activities: describe the actions
you took or the activities you performed.
– R: Results: describe the result of your
actions – What happened? What was the
outcome?
• Rehearse examples of these previous
situations and events to show how you
approached these situations, why you used
that particular method or action, and what the
outcome or achievement was.
Case interviews
Case interviews are frequently used by
consultancy firms and focus on understanding
and exploring one or more situation(s) that may
be typical in a consulting environment. You may
be on your own or in a group case interview. The
case interview is a test to evaluate your analytical
ability, problem solving skills, team skills, creativity,
curiosity, common sense and ability to articulate
your ideas and solutions in a constructive way.
Therefore the interviewer will be assessing the
knowledge, skills, competencies and attributes you
have used to arrive at a solution, rather than looking
for the ‘correct’ answer.
Case interview preparation
• Think about the business problems or situations
you might encounter if working for the company.
Refer to the position description, company
website and literature – what will they be
expecting you to do when working there?
• Develop a framework in which to evaluate
problems, for example, review the situation,
research and discuss options if part of a group
case interview, consider alternative possibilities,
eliminate unworkable solutions and prioritise
outcomes.
• Read business journals and focus on articles
discussing current issues facing companies in
that industry/sector.
• Practice working through cases. Examples can
be found on consulting companies websites,
such as The Boston Consulting Group website
http://www.bcg.com/careers/path/consulting/
practice-interview-cases.aspx
• Refer to the ‘Case Interviewing’ handout
available at Careers, Internships and
Employment for further information.
Telephone interviews
The telephone interview is as important as a faceto-face interview, as it is your first formal interview
contact with the organisation. A telephone
interview can be used to ‘screen’ a candidate for
a face-to-face interview or can replace a faceto-face interview if the organisation is located
outside of Christchurch or New Zealand. You may
have one or more interviewers on the telephone.
Telephone interview preparation
• Prepare the same as you would for a
face-to-face interview.
• Ensure the telephone number you give is
correct.
• If the telephone connection is a bad one, ask
the interviewer to call you back in an attempt
to secure a better quality line.
• Make sure that on the scheduled day and time
of your interview you are in a private room i.e.
one that is free from noise, distractions
and interruptions.
• If you use a cordless telephone ensure that
the battery is fully charged.
• If you want to have notes in front of you
during the interview, make sure they’re
easily visible. Rustling through papers while
the employer is listening does not give a
good impression.
• Visualise the interviewer asking the questions
and respond as if they were in front of you i.e.
smile and make gestures. Finding an object to
focus on, such as a picture on the wall, may
assist you in this.
• Keep your head up to project your voice better.
Practice! Practice! Practice!
Like any other skill, the more you practice,
the better you get. A mock interview can
be useful, particularly with someone
experienced in the interview process. Ask
a friend, relative or Careers, Internships &
Employment to help you.
Video conference
interview preparation
• The structure and questions will be the same
as a standard face-to-face interview.
• It is possible that there may be a slight delay
on the video conference, which may be
unsettling at first but usually is un-noticeable
after a few minutes.
• If you are having trouble hearing or seeing the
interviewer clearly, tell them immediately.
Presentation
Whether you are applying for summer work,
an internship, final year or graduate position it
is important to dress appropriately for the job
interview. For more information on personal
grooming and the standard of dress required,
read the handout ‘What should I wear to a Job
Interview?’ available from the Careers Resource
Area or online at www.canterbury.ac.nz/careers
General interview tips
Before the interview
• Dress for the telephone interview as you would
for the face-to-face interview to help you get
into an appropriate frame of mind for the
interview.
• Re-read the job advertisement and position
description. Identify what you think are the
key skills, qualifications, experience and
personal attributes they will be looking for.
Prepare examples that showcase how you have
demonstrated these.
• Do not feel obliged to speak if there is a silent
patch during the telephone interview as the
interviewer is likely to be processing your
answer and taking notes.
• Finally… take a deep breath and relax… let
yourself be the best you can be on the day.
Video conference interviews
A video conference interview involves you
and the interviewer being in different places
each with a video camera and a microphone
connected via a network. You will sit facing a
camera and computer or television screen on
which you will be able to see the interviewer(s).
They will be similarly facing a camera and a
computer/television screen on which they can
see you.
At the interview
• Be punctual.
• Vary the tone of your voice and ensure you
have clear pronunciation and are matching the
voice pace of the interviewer.
• Consider standing up. This helps you stay alert
and can impact the energy you project
to the employer.
• If you have any special requirements, ring and
speak to the person organising the interview.
State your requirement and why you need it,
for example, if you have a mobility-related
impairment, ask for a car park near to
the entrance.
• Re-read your application – interviewers often
use information from CVs as a starting point
for interview questions.
• Research the organisation (see page 14).
• Read the list of common questions in this
guide, other books and websites. Think about
possible answers. Don’t memorise an answer
verbatim – think about the main points you
want to get across.
• Reflect upon your strong points and the
particular messages you want to get across in
the interview.
• Consider and prepare what questions you
have about the job and the organisation.
What do you want to know that you haven’t
been able to find out in your research? You
may like to find out more about the job, team,
organisation and industry.
• Be well groomed and neatly dressed in
appropriate attire for the profession you
have chosen. Don’t worry if the interviewer is
dressed more casually than you are.
• Nerves are natural! Just try to relax and answer
as confidently as possible.
• Smile.
• Speak clearly and look directly at the
interviewer while speaking.
• Ask to have a question repeated if you do not
hear or understand it. It is better to do this
than attempt to answer the wrong question.
• Emphasise your strengths. Try to turn any
negatives into positives.
• Before the interview ends, make sure you know
how the selection will proceed. That is, when is
the next step or when can you expect to know
whether you’ve got the job.
• Thank the interviewer for his/her time.
After the interview
Review the questions that were asked and
your answers. Were there any questions that
you found difficult or wish you had answered
differently? Were there any unexpected
questions? What would you do differently next
time to improve?
Follow up and thank the interviewer/s for their
time and the opportunity to attend the interview
via an appropriate method of communication,
this may take place via email or telephone.
Reemphasize your interest in the position and
company and refer to parts of the interview
which explored your strengths, fit and interest in
the role and company. The follow up thank you
message is an opportunity to address anything
about the interview you felt could have gone
better. If there was a question you would have
liked to have answered better, you can briefly
explore the information you would have liked to
have shared with the interviewer/s.
You may be asked to return for a second
interview, so make notes which might be useful.
For example, note questions you did not answer
well – they may be asked again – and note
questions you expected to be asked but weren’t.
Also, write down any useful information you
gained about the position.
33
Consider: Was your introduction professional?
Was your body language positive? Did you make
eye contact, smile and present well? Were your
answers comprehensive? Were your questions
relevant and concise? Did you do enough
research and preparation?
After the selection decision has been made,
ring or email the employer/interviewer for
specific feedback to help you improve for future
applications.
Common questions
No two people will interview in the same way.
However, the following may be of some help to
you regarding questions and answers.
• Questions asked at the beginning of an
interview are usually intended to encourage
you to talk and to help you relax.
• Questions asked by skilled and well-prepared
interviewers will always have a purpose
regardless of how irrelevant to the position
they may seem.
• Think about relevant examples to show you
have the specific qualities and skills required
for the position. Interviewers are seeking
evidence of such qualities as your motivation,
attitudes, initiative and self-insight.
• Answers you give must be your own, and in
your own language and style. Don’t memorise
answers from books or the internet - think up
your own.
• Employers may ask topical questions –
read/watch the news and think about what
might be of interest to the employer.
There are no model answers and it would be a
34
mistake to try to formulate exact answers ahead
of time. It is okay to ask for a moment or two to
think before answering a question.
Here are some guidelines on answers to certain
questions. Look at them critically and decide
which would be the right way for you to
answer them.
1. ‘Tell us about yourself!’
You could touch on your schooling, university
study, work experience, interests, any special
experiences (e.g. American Field Scholarship),
achievements, skills and/or strengths.
2. ‘Why did you choose to major
in ______?’
Avoid the impression of aimlessness or
uncertainty. Remember: choosing a major
out of interest and being willing to talk about
this is a valid response. Show evidence of
interest, logical thought, planning, research
and a positive attitude to study. You could
share your aspirations here.
3. ‘What do you do in your spare
time?’
This is generally asked in an attempt to round
out a picture of you as a person. Emphasise
how actively you pursue spare time interests.
4. ‘Describe a situation where you
have worked in a team?’
Quote examples of past participation and
contribution in teams from work, university,
sports, choirs, committees etc. Concentrate
on your contribution in relation to what the
team did, and use the STAR principle
(see page 32).
5. ‘What appeals to you about
this job?’
Think carefully before answering this
question. Typically your answer may include
how the position is relevant to your interests,
previous studies and skills, and how these
factors will assist you to positively contribute.
Discuss how the position will enable you
to further develop your skills and why this
is important to you - are you interested in
continual learning and development?.
6 ‘How do you handle pressure?’
Give examples of pressure situations you
have been in and ways in which you have
positively handled them. The employer
is seeking to ascertain whether you have
developed strategies for coping under
pressure.
7. ‘What are your major strengths and
weaknesses?’
Listing too many weaknesses will type you
as very negative; however, denying any
weaknesses will make you appear naive,
arrogant or dishonest! The employer is
seeking to ascertain your maturity and
awareness of yourself. Remember weaknesses
can be turned into positives or strengths.
For example, your need to understand the
‘big picture’ before making a decision shows
that you don’t rush into things.
8. ‘What are your career goals, say in
the next 3–5 years?’
Outline the goals you wish to achieve to give
evidence that you are the sort of person who
plans ahead.
9. ‘Why should we appoint you?’
Answer in terms of qualifications, skills,
personal qualities, experience and interests
that you possess which are relevant
to the position.
• What on-going training could I expect?
Further reading
• What is the organisation’s attitude to
further study?
Careers, Internships & Employment have a range
of books and DVDs on interviewing available
for loan. Check out the list on
www.canterbury.ac.nz/careers
under Career Resources.
• Where would a new graduate expect to be
in five years?
• What performance appraisal system do
you have?
• Is it possible to transfer (either within
divisions, to other cities or to other countries)?
• What would a typical day/week be like for a
new staff member?
10.‘How much do you know about the
organisation?’
Your answer will reveal how much homework
you have done before the interview. Read any
recruitment material, brochures or annual
reports. Use your initiative to find out as
much as you can about the organisation
and cite ways in which you have gone about
finding this information. Check their website
and for press articles from the recent past.
Talk to other people working in the industry,
including lecturers.
11. ‘What about your disability?’
Job seekers with a disability, which is
evident or has been disclosed, may be asked
questions similar to these. Practice answering
these so you will be ready to discuss them
with confidence and to your advantage.
• How do you think your impairment /
medical condition will impact on your
work? In what ways did your impairment
/ medical condition impact during your
university study?
• How have you managed to overcome the
barriers and difficulties you face?
• How will you be able to do the job if you
have _______?
IT’S YOUR
IDEAS
THAT
See page 39 of this booklet, our website or
view resources in the Careers, Internships
& Employment Reference Area for more
information.
12. ‘Do you have any questions?’
At some point in the interview you may be
given the opportunity to ask questions. You
should use this opportunity to clarify any
points that you are unclear about in relation
to the position you are applying for. In the
following list you will find some examples
of types of questions often asked by
interviewees. Be careful to choose questions
relevant for you.

Assessment centres & psychometric tests
Some employers have an
assessment centre or second
interview stage. This is usually
held at the employer’s premises
and can take from a couple
of hours to one or two days.
Assessment centres may involve
group exercises, ability and
personality tests, discussions,
presentations and a second
interview.
It is an achievement to get invited to this stage
and it means that you have a good chance
of a job – if you prepare properly. To prepare
yourself as best as you can, read the information
below and attend the Careers, Internships &
Employment seminar on Assessment Centres
and Psychometric Testing.
Always assume you are being assessed from the
moment you enter the organisation until the
moment you walk out again. Informal lunches
36
and evening functions may not be formally
marked, but the assessors will be weighing you
up. Be careful with your alcohol consumption.
You can use informal events, tours or talks to
find out about the organisation and whether you
develop rapport with team members and want to
work there.
What are they?
Assessment centres and psychometric tests are
selection tools for recruitment, promotion or
further training, and consist of a series of exercises
and activities that correspond best with the type
of work you will be employed to do. This means
that they differ according to the employer and the
job, depending on the key selection criteria and
competencies to be assessed. Studies show that
70% of large organisations and 40% of smaller
ones are using assessment centres for
graduate recruitment.
Candidates generally join a group of six to eight
people and are evaluated by a group of trained
assessors to ensure objectivity and reliability.
Depending on the number of exercises and tests,
assessment centres and psychometric tests can
take from a few hours to a couple of days. Your
invitation should give you basic information on
venue, programme and timeframes.
Purpose
‘If you want to see where someone’s strengths
and limitations lie, put them into typical
situations and watch them.’ Saville and
Holdsworth Ltd.
Employers use assessment centres to gain
an accurate profile of candidates’ abilities,
knowledge, personality and motivation, in
order to select the person most suited to the
requirements of the position, or to identify areas
for staff development and training.
Tests can help you to find out more about your
own strengths and weaknesses through a fair
and comprehensive assessment in a competitive
situation. It enables you to select a career path
for which you are suited.
‘There is good evidence that tests, which are
professionally used and evaluated, can provide
objective, reliable and relevant information
concerning the likelihood of job success.’ Saville
and Holdsworth Ltd, 1997, Practice Leaflet.
Any of the following
activities may be included:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Group exercises / Case studies
Presentations
Role plays
In-trays
Fact finding exercises
Interviews
Psychometric Tests: – Aptitude tests, ability tests or selection tests
– Personality tests or questionnaires
Group exercises
The aim here is to see how you work with and
react to others; how quick you are able to sum up
people, situations and evidence.
A group of perhaps six or eight candidates
may be given a general topic to discuss, such
as ‘Should lead be used in petrol?’ or ‘Is there
a case for censorship?’ It may be leaderless or
candidates may be asked to take turns as chair.
Alternatively you may each be given a case
study, a practical problem to work on: perhaps
a batch of company papers to study, relating to
an industrial problem, or you might be given
a business game in which to participate, or a
hypothetical situation to deal with. For example,
you are survivors of an aircraft crash in a desert,
which of the items of equipment available are
most important to survival? You will probably
have time to study the problem before being
asked to discuss it.
Tips:
• Get involved and contribute as much as
you can in the group.
• The quality of your contribution is more
important than the quantity.
• Be assertive rather than passive or
aggressive.
• Think outside the square.
• Help the group to achieve the goal, to get
the task done.
• Be organised and complete the task
on time.
Presentations
Psychometric tests
Presentation skills are important in professional
and managerial roles, as well as in commercial,
scientific and research positions.
Psychometric tests are standardised tests,
designed to evaluate psychological functions:
The topic of the presentation could be given
to you in advance or not. When part of an
assessment centre, often you are required to
give a presentation on the findings of the case
study or the group exercise that you have worked
on earlier in the day. Your skills, knowledge and
personality are all measured in this exercise.
• ability
Tips:
• Organise a good structure for your
presentation.
• Know the information and communicate
this clearly, using visual aids if available.
• Stay calm.
• Show them your personality.
• Keep to the time limit.
• Summarise at the end & thank the
audience.
In-tray exercise
An In-tray exercise is designed to test your ability
to absorb a large volume of complex information
quickly, to prioritise tasks and to make decisions.
In this business simulation exercise you will be
given a set of instructions, a large amount of
information and a time limit. The information
is likely to include: letters, memo’s, minutes of
meetings, reports and phone messages with a
variety of importance, complexity and urgency.
They provide details of tasks/issues you have to
deal with and you have a limited time to make
decisions and devise solutions. Be prepared for last
minute changes.
Keep in mind that there could be several ways
of handling in-tray material. Often there are two
parts to this exercise: the actual exercise and
the follow up discussion, where you explain the
reasoning behind your chosen approach.
2nd Interview
This interview is often more thorough and
probing than the first one you had with the
organisation. It is usually a panel interview with
one or more senior managers and a Human
Resources professional. The questions that you
will be asked are more searching questions,
driven by the selection criteria, outcomes of the
assessment centre so far and ‘problem areas’
identified in your first interview. It is also to
check team ‘fit’.
The main recommendation is: Prepare!
• intelligence
• personality
• interests and
• values.
They are pen and paper or computer based
and are taken under standardized conditions,
including strict time limits. The results are
quantified by reference to a scale derived from
research and your answers are objectively marked
and analysed to produce a score or profile.
Employers use these tests, often in conjunction
with other tests or interviews, as they are seen as
objective, scientific and fair. Psychometric tests
also help employers streamline their recruitment
process and allow them to sift out unsuitable
candidates at an early stage in the
selection process.
The two main types of psychometric tests used
in recruitment are:
• Ability, Aptitude or Intelligence Tests
• Personality Tests or Questionnaires.
Ability tests
Ability tests measure maximum performance in:
• verbal reasoning (spelling, grammar and
sentence completion)
• numerical reasoning (ability to reason with
numbers and analyse data and graphics)
• abstract reasoning
• technical reasoning
• spatial reasoning etc.
Answers are right or wrong and questions start
off easy and get harder. There is a strict time limit
to these tests, so it is important that you work
quickly and accurately.
Most frequently used tests are verbal reasoning
and numerical reasoning. For many jobs, abilities
with words and numbers are the major aptitudes
an applicant must possess. Some specialised jobs
may demand specialist knowledge and abilities
and as such dimensions as mechanical ability or
spatial relationships may be tested.
The numerical tests usually involve solving
mathematical problems, some of which will be
easy and others will be much harder. You may
have to find missing numbers in a sequence or
continue on with a sequence of numbers using
the same logic as demonstrated by the numbers
that are given.
37
The verbal tests are aimed at assessing your
ability with, and understanding of, language
and your ability to understand and reason with
written information. You may be given tasks that
ask you to relate or categorise abstract concepts.
The more difficult items are usually at the end.
Tips:
• Practice!
• You are given one or two examples first.
Read the instructions carefully.
• Keep an eye on the time.
• Ensure you record your answers in the
correct way.
• Don’t spend too long on any one
question. Move on to the next. The more
questions you answer, the better your
chances of getting a higher score.
• Check with the test administrator
whether the test is negatively scored for
wrong answers. If not take a best guess
if you are unsure of the answer. A blank
line is a scoring opportunity missed.
However some tests do apply a ‘guessing
correction’.
• Free time at the end anyway? Use this to
check your answers.
Personality tests
These are questionnaires that measure
your preferred way of behaving and typical
performance related to your personality,
motivation, values, attitudes and interests.
The aim is to identify a personality fit with job
and company. Answers to the questions are not
right or wrong and there is usually no time limit.
The answers are used to provide your
Personality Profile.
Sometimes these tests present you with a
statement with which you either agree or
disagree. Usually these have five points along a
scale with a neutral or ‘don’t know’ response in
the middle. Sometimes you are given a multiplechoice format. The more sophisticated versions
however, have a lie scale built into the scoring
formula and if you manipulate your answer to
what you think is ‘best’, you could get caught
out by the score on the lie scale. Frequently the
people doing the assessment have an ‘ideal
person profile’ which they match to the results of
your test. The amount of your variation from the
ideal is what they’re looking at.
Tips:
• Know yourself and the job.
• Be honest and positive about yourself.
• Place your answers in the appropriate
context.
• Trust first impressions.
How to prepare for assessment
centres and psychometric tests
Before
• Adopt a positive mental attitude.
• Take another look at the Position Description
and the company information.
• Be familiar with the skills/competencies
for the role, so you can portray these to the
assessors.
• Practice.
• Expect feedback, on the day or later.
• Self-review: Make notes on what you did well
and what less well. What have you learned
about yourself, the job and the organisation?
• Offered a job? Congratulations! You’ll need to
decide whether to accept or reject the offer.
• Rejected and it comes as a surprise? Ask for
specific feedback if you haven’t received any.
For more information
on psychometric tests
• Attend the Careers, Internships & Employment
Seminar on Assessment Centres and
Psychometric testing.
• Borrow books and DVDs on psychometric tests
and how to succeed at assessment centres

• Bring glasses or hearing aid if you wear them.
• Be as relaxed and well rested as you can.
• Arrive on time (10–15 minutes before
start time.)
During

an opportunity to demonstrate your skills.
• Be yourself.
• Read or listen to the instructions carefully.
Ask for clarification if unclear.
• Don’t give up if you haven’t done well in the
first 1 or 2 exercises.

Job seekers with a disability
or health condition
The issue of disclosure
Whether to disclose
Employers can (and often do) ask a question like
this: ‘Do you have a disability or health condition
that might affect how you do this job you are
applying for? If yes, what accommodation, if any,
would you need in order to perform the tasks
involved in this job?’
If your answer is yes to that type of question,
please read the section on how to disclose and
when to disclose.
If your answer is no to that type of question, you
do not need to disclose your disability or health
condition to the employer. You are only required
to disclose disability and health issues that are
relevant to the job.
If in doubt as to whether to disclose, consider
these questions:
• Do you fully understand the job requirements?
If yes, will your disability or health condition
prevent you carrying out any aspect of the
tasks or duties listed?
• Do you have a disability or health condition
that may reoccur and impact on your ability to
do the job in the future?
• Will you need some type of accommodation
either at the job interview or if offered the job?
• Will the workplace need to make some
alterations or supports?
• Is your disability or medical condition likely
to put others at risk in the workplace or make
your employer liable?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, you
must declare this information to your potential
future employer. Please read the section on how
to disclose and when to disclose.
If you are still uncertain whether to disclose,
discuss this issue with your general practitioner
(GP)/doctor, or a member of the Careers,
Internships & Employment team.
How to disclose
In disclosing your disability or health condition,
be positive, constructive and specific in how
you disclose this information. Identify where
potential difficulties may arise in relation to
tasks/duties in the position description and then
offer solutions to the employer. Be clear about
what you can do to prevent and/or manage
those potential difficulties and what support you
would need from the employer.
If you are asked the above question verbally
and/or in writing (‘Do you have a disability or
medical condition that might affect how you
do this job you are applying for? If yes, what
accommodation, if any, would you need in order
to perform the tasks involved in this job?’),
you could respond using this framework:
Opening:
• ‘I have applied for this position as I believe I have
the skills, knowledge and experience to do the
job.’
Message:
• ‘I need to let you know that I experience…
(name disability or health condition)’ Be brief.
• ‘In my past employment (or while studying at
university) I have managed this disability/health
condition by... and/or...
• ‘How I would manage this disability or health
condition in relation to this job and/or (name
specific tasks/duties that might be impacted
on) is...’
• ‘What I would need from you as my employer is
... (Mention this only if required).
• ‘If you were to employ me, as you may already
be aware, you can access...’ (If you are aware
of any additional support that an employer
might have access to when hiring you, you
could mention that. E.g. a financial subsidy or
a workplace assessment, etc.)
Closing:
• ‘While I do experience (name the disability or
health condition) I still believe I have the skills,
experience and knowledge you are looking for.’
• ‘I am very willing to undertake a health
assessment and/or get a letter of support
from my GP/doctor in support of my
application if required.’
• ‘I am also happy for you to discuss my disability
or health condition with my referees’.
If you are unsure what to say in disclosing this
information to a potential employer, discuss
this with a member of the Careers, Internships &
Employment team and/or your GP/doctor.
When to disclose
If you are required to disclose your disability
or health condition in a job application form,
you must disclose relevant information at that
point. Read the Whether to Disclose and How to
Disclose sections above to ensure you disclose
the information in an honest, positive and
constructive way.
If you are not asked the question in an
application form prior to applying for the
position, but for example, you might need some
accommodations in attending the job interview,
you will need to declare your disability or health
condition prior to attending.
If this information is not asked of you at the
job interview, be proactive in disclosing your
disability or health condition if there is an
appropriate moment. Briefly disclosing this
information at a relevant point in the job
interview will give you more of an opportunity
to present your situation in a positive and
relevant context. You can also deal with potential
misconceptions, provide factual information and
suggest strategies to accommodate any obstacle
to the job.
If you do not get asked to disclose your disability
or health condition in an application form or at
a job interview, you can wait until the point at
which you have been offered the job and discuss
it then if appropriate.

In disclosing, remember that as a university
graduate you have proven your ability to cope
with demanding and intense work and study
situations. Therefore, be enthusiastic, confident
and honest in describing your skills, abilities and
the experience that you have to offer. Think of
how living with a disability or health condition
might serve as an asset in the workplace.

Salary Negotiation &
Employment Agreements
Below are some tips you may want to consider
to help you negotiate a salary offer with
an employer.
Do your Research
these could be worth as much as +25% of your
salary. An employment package may include one
and/or several of these benefits (or other benefits
not listed):
• Vehicle use and/or subsidised parking
Complete research prior to attending an
interview. A good place to begin is to research
what the average starting salary is for
similar jobs for someone with similar level of
qualifications and experience to you. It is also
helpful to consider the cost of living in the
city and/or country you will be working in, the
business climate, who the hiring manager is,
the financial status of the organisation, and
applicant factors (your skills, knowledge and
experience). All these factors can influence
salary levels offered.
• Support for study costs or study leave
Sources of Salary
Information: New Zealand
• Superannuation
Common sources of salary information include:
The job interview process is a two-way
assessment for both you and the employer to
determine your value and fit to the organisation.
The employer is interested in what you can do
for them, as you are interested in what that job
can do for you. While gaining a degree offers
you a broad range of knowledge and skills to an
employer, you may have had minimal experience
in the field of work you are going into. Therefore if
setting a minimum salary level you are willing to
accept, be realistic.
• The latest UC Graduate Destinations Survey:
www.canterbury.ac.nz/careers/
• Recruitment agencies, e.g. Hays Recruitment
Specialists’ most recent salary survey:
https://www.hays.net.nz/salary-guide/
index.htm
• Careers NZ (www.careers.govt.nz) who
have information on salary/wage levels and
employment trends in their ‘Jobs database’
section.
• Trade Me’s salary guide section:
www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-me-jobs/
Salaryguide/index.htm
• Professional associations and unions
representing your particular sector.
• Employers, who will give salary information
at the appropriate stage of the recruitment
process.
Know Yourself
Alongside your research into salary information,
consider the position from a broader perspective.
Your salary level is likely to be one factor in your
level of job satisfaction. Think about:
• Will this job offer me good experience as a
graduate?
• Is this position in my field of interest?
• Will I gain valuable skills, knowledge and
experience that will help me progress and
enhance my career options?
• Does this job reflect my values and what
I need and want from work?
Additional Benefits
Consider what additional perks and benefits an
employer can offer you alongside your salary, as
40
• Flexi-time
• Healthcare
• Gym access/exercise programmes or gym
membership subsidy
• Bonus provisions, such as above-average
sick leave
• Other onsite services e.g. childcare/dry cleaning
• Clothing allowance
• Performance bonus and/or company shares
Be Realistic
Salary Negotiation
with an Employer
Unless you absolutely have to, try not to bring
up salary at a job interview for two reasons. Once
a job offer has been made you are in a stronger
position to negotiate your overall salary level
and employment conditions. Secondly, clarifying
the employers’ expectations of you first will
help you be very clear as to what you have to
deliver on in the work environment and will help
you contextualise the offer they may make you.
Therefore if asked the question “What do you
want to be paid for this position?” politely explain
to the employer that until you have been offered
the job you believe it is premature to discuss your
salary expectations. If you choose to respond to
this question, you can state that your salary level
is negotiable and you expect to earn market value
given your education/experience.
Employment Agreements
Employment agreements outline the terms and
conditions of employment and must be in writing.
Before signing an agreement, the employer will
provide you time, typically a couple of days to
consider and review the contract. It is important
to thoroughly read and ensure you understand
the content and discuss any areas of concern with
an expert who is knowledgeable with employment
contracts.
Additionally when reviewing your employment
agreement it is helpful to consider the whole
employment package being offered to evaluate
and ensure a fair offer is being made. Being able to
identify what is important to you as part of your
employment is helpful to be able to negotiate any
terms and conditions of the contract. To be able to
negotiate aspects of your agreement a case needs
to be built and communicated professionally to
assist an employer in understanding the grounds
for your request.
As part of your overall employment agreement
negotiation, now is the time to negotiate your
salary if necessary. If you are unsure about the
salary figure you have been offered ask questions
such as:
• What is the salary range for this position?
• How did you determine the salary figure you are
offering me within that range?
If you then choose to state a different figure to
the one they have offered, make sure you have the
evidence to back up why you think you are worth
that amount. Make sure you have reflected on your
unique attributes, marketable assets, strengths,
skills, and experience you have to offer.
Providing evidence of your accomplishments and
having conducted research on current market
salary levels in your industry area/sector will place
you in a stronger position where in a professional
and courteous manner you can negotiate for the
best possible outcome for you and your employer.
Aim to ensure it is a ‘win-win’ situation for you and
your employer. Keep perspective on what is fair and
realistic. Be flexible, open minded and willing to
compromise.
Finally, with employment agreement negotiation,
ensure you have a written copy, take time to
consider the offer, and do not hesitate to clarify
any questions you have on your employment
contract directly with the employer.
If you have any questions or concerns
about your employment agreement, these
organisations may be able to assist:
• Employment New Zealand: https://
www.employment.govt.nz/startingemployment/employment-agreements/
• Community Law Canterbury, who
offer free legal advice, including on
employment agreements:

• The union or professional body associated
with your industry/profession
Recruiting Employers
Employers recruiting University students
and graduate seek many different types of
degrees. Some require students and graduates
in specific subject areas, while others recruit
across all disciplines.
Employers’ recruitment needs can change from
year to year, hence the degrees and subject areas
they are recruiting, may also vary. Some years
some employers may not require students and
graduates.
A number of employers also recruit recent
graduates.
Some of the organisations who have advertised
opportunities through Careers, Internships &
Employment are listed below. This is not an
exhaustive list. For a full list of employers please
