During this morning's interview, CO asked me to provide more information to support my claim for job perspective, should i be worried? any thoughts?

I don't know this expression 'job perspective' - can you explain?

There isn't usually anything to worry about if a CO asks for more information or evidence, as long as you can actually provide what they're looking for. It tends to mean that your application looks good and they'd be inclined to pass it, as long as that part of what you're saying can be backed up by something else, not just you saying so.

As an invented example, suppose you were applying, saying you're a trained specialist in XYZ who wants to live in Wellington, where a new factory is just opening, the very first in the country to use XYZ technology, there are dozens of jobs available, and no trained Kiwis in the area to fill them. If you're telling the truth, you have a very strong case, but if you just made that up, your application is no better than wanting to go to NZ and hoping something will come up. So the CO will ask for evidence that the new XYZ place is genuinely expecting to open in January 2010, and will be glad to see e.g. a letter from their head of HR saying you are just what they are looking for when once you are legally in the country.

Is it job prospects? As above, it's not a worry if you can adequately respond. Could be evidence based, or even a statement describing with examples, or specific references to other things why you'll get a job on arrival. Depends exactly what they've asked for. If it was a "No" decision I don't think they'd ask, so it's a case of do this and you're 'in the game'.

yeah, it should be "job prospects". thanks for the advice

If your CO has asked for information on your job prospects, he will be looking for specific and quantitative information:

"I have 99 years experience with skill XYZ and there are 999 jobs listed on Seek requiring that skill"

"I am enclosing a copy of a letter from a company in NZ saying that they will hire me if I have PR"

"I have a better chance of being offered a job than most other Skill Migration applicants in my job niche, because in addition to sending my CV to recruiters, I have already done X and Y and Z in terms of networking within my field in New Zealand"

That sort of thing.
