I got this from NZIS Bangkok. Hope it helps.....


What evidence do I need to prove I have relevant work experience?

To gain points for work experience you will need to submit documents that provide all the details below. You may need to submit several documents for one job to show all of the following information:
• the position(s) you held; and
• the dates you held the position(s); and
• whether your employment in the position(s) was full-time (i.e. based on a 30 hour week) or part-time (i.e. based on less than a 30 hour week); and
• the name and address of your employer(s); and
• the relevance of your work experience to your current skilled employment in New Zealand or offer of skilled employment in New Zealand (if you have skilled employment); or
• how your work experience enabled you to gain significant specialist, technical, or management expertise; or
• the relevance of your work experience to your recognised qualification.

There are a number of documents that may show the information we need before we make a decision on your application. You could submit the following documents as evidence for all the information required and listed above:
• references on company letterhead
• pay slips
• job specifications
• tax records
• letters of appointment
• contracts
• job assessments

It is important to note that: If necessary, we may need to ask you, or your previous employers, for further information or documents before making a decision on your application.

Hi Jhsay...
Thank you for providing this information. It's really useful. However, I wonder what really the difference between job qualification and assesments.

Just to piggy-back on this thread: :booby

someone on the Australia/NZ usenet site very recently published a worrying thread about 'failing at the last hurdle' (perhaps - jury's out) for AUSTRALIA skilled immigration, one of the aspects of which was that Australia only accepts teachers' classroom hours (not preparation) as relevant teaching experience.

Hmm. Our prinicpal app is applying to NZ, of course, not Australia, and also she's not applying as regular sec/primary teacher but as performing arts (dance) teacher.... even so, should we be worried as some of her work experience will likely be documented in the form of her preparatory hours and not classroom hours?

I don't think we're in trouble, if only 'cos the NZ Occupation description for her job details preparatory tasks/skills as an integral part of the job description. And there's nothing else about the topic in the Operations Manual, unless I'm mistaken.

Any opinions or experiences? And, yes, I'm having an attack of the "What Ifs" again! :nice1 :uhoh

Cheers,
Matt.

Hi all,

Has anyone going through the PR route with work experience as a contractor had to prove their experience? Our EOI took ages to fill in because Terry has done so many short term contracts for various companies. What evidence can we give to prove this experience?

Any advice would be great. We haven't received our ITA yet, but given the time it will take to collect all of the evidence I think we need to start early! :roll:

Thanks

Sophie

He must have been paid somewhere along the line either by way of invoicing for his services or being paid directly as an employee either will generate paperwork to prove experience!

Hi Jinkee thanks for the tips. :nice1 I will start gathering the necessary documents (in advance)from my employer.
