further to last post, the CO has just emailed me, informing me of an informal telephone interiew. ( gulp! )
Anyone without a job offer is interviewed, so................
assuming we aren't the only ones planning on moving to nz wthout a job offer, does anyone out there have any idea what she's going to ask?
any help would be very gratefully received.
thanks
