witgig: Hello. I need your inputs. I am in a bit of dilemma. - should I go or should I not??,
Just as Femi has said, this depends on your economic and social status in Naija. what will you lose if you come here? and above all, what do you really want for yourself and family in the future?
With student partner work visa : 8 months for a start with possible 1 year extension
This is a good visa. Have you got the visa? if not, your major concern should be how to get it because visa application takes a whole lot of time these days and there won't be much left by the time you get the visa. Another challenge will be convincing the visa officer on why you wanna drop everything you had back home and move to New Zealand for just 8 months or demonstrating that you intend to go go back after that.
I want to know how easy can one get a job in North Dunedin - could be anywhere in country really buy my preference is Dunedin for personal reasons .
I haven't been to Dunedin yet, but if it's anything like Waikato in terms of job, then you should be able to get some casual jobs within 2 weeks of arrival except you're so selective with your job search.
Must one hold a driver's license? It's actually a necessity over here as most job vacancies always request for reliable personal transport because public transport is not so efficient. However, I'm just saying based on my experience; it could be different in Dunedin.
Because I'm not sure if my skills will be acceptavle in NZ or not please, like how much can one make with 'any' job. Need some money to further education.
Minimum wage is 16.50 NZD per hour and will be increased to 17.70 NZD by April if everything goes as planned. If you're working a minimum wage job of 16.50 NZD for 40 Hours per week, you should be able to earn more than 500NZD weekly.

femijck: If you have a valid info about NZ, visa and migration you are free to share and help others. You don’t have to be Nigerian, share how you approach your application and the route.
There are many route let’s share experience. With partnership applications and general immigration questions , I have experience. There are people who have experience in other type of application so we need you to share.
Thanks Well done on the good job you're doing here... I've been here for couple of months now and will try to contribute as much as possible based on my limited knowledge of New Zealand. |

Abdujapha: It's a pretty easy/less demanding training but the job of a JP who knows what he doing ain't beans. He is expected to be 100% in charge of the job/task on site .....preparing all neccessary job permits and certificates, coordinates very closely with HSE folks and Engineering also. It's fun sha if you have previous field experience and enjoy outdoor project actualization. A good stepping stone tho a good number of contractors don't really pay good but still on still.....5k no bad. Just take it a day at a time man. Thanks for the clarification my chairman. Oga Nattybanta, how your side? anytime they mention ADCO please call on this chairman too Abdujapha. chucks231 see this explanation above |

stevebent: ugsams abeg Pls I need information about the skilled oil and gas jobs in Dubai. I currently have NDT II and undergoing training as a pipeline welder.. How's the demand for such skills over there? I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply your mention, I have a lot in my hands lately. Although many of the oil and gas servicing companies have offices and warehouses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi should be your main target. when you are on ground just prepare your mind for anything, you can only try. If luck/favour is upon you, you will have breakthrough. |

chucks231: please guys who knows the meaning of ADCO JP PTW...I want to know the relevance as I am told the training for the job I embark on it's needed..please help Have you done the course? I work in an AD.CO field although ADC.O has been baptized same as other companies in the group, so I'm guess the name will be updated soon or the course is obsolete. I don't have the certificate neither have I done any training on that, but I perform some task that requires PTW system. I will ask around to learn more about this, both from ADCO and Service company guys. However, I will admit that someone has asked me about this before but passively. |

Just as a quick review, It was important that my wife have to write the PTEA last week and within a short notice, I contacted Majiouk2002 for PTEA voucher and Spyroxy for the PTEA mock test, they both delivered and Spyroxy provided extra support through out the whole process.
Based on my experience with them, I will definitely recommend their services if anyone needs them. |

disectur: I always advise everyone to fill EOI before assessment. JUST DONT SUBMIT YET. Doing it before your English and assessment outcome will save you a lot of time as the entire process is essentially a repeat of ALL your EOI details.
Please ensure everything you fill is 100% accurate and in tandem with your documents. Any variance and you might just have wasted valued time and money. Once you have your English score and assessment outcome, you can then update your EOI and submit.
Good luck. Please what's the benefit of your advise above? Can you clarify a bit further. I'm a bit confused because you mentioned fill but don't submit. If we don't have to submit does it count for something? |

onyefin: House, I need advice on a decision am about taking. I want to quit my present job (rig electrician) in nija and move to middle east. What are my chances of getting a similar job or even better one there. Again what the possibility of relocating completely and cost. I need the experts to advice me and possibly guide me on the process. You advice and information will be appreciated. Please don't quit your job.The Industry is not very stable now over here. As a Chief Electrician, most companies should be able to hire you while you are still offshore if you have an impressive CV. Maintain your job and try from there, If you come here to target rig jobs, you might not get an interview before your 3 months visa expire. Most of the people I know were hired from outside UAE. You get my point abi? |

LEOSIRSIR: Oga Natty i salute you sir, appreciate your selfless service on this thread More strength and Wisdom. in case like this what is the best Defense Mechanism an intending job seeker need Put in place to be sure he/she is on the safer sides when been offered a job or situation like that Arose. In addition to what Oga Nattybanta has said, the person should make sure to sign contract and offer letter and be sure to have a copy of those. Don't feel intimidated or shy to do so. If you have that at hand and they failed to process your visa at the end of your stay, you can go to labour if you ever manage to extend your visa or go for visa change. I have seen someone who won such case. |

Alphadoor: All concerns are noted with sustainability being the bane of concern here.
Yes, a lot of people have come and gone. bellong's dedication is on a wavy level, I salute you boss.
I also strongly agree that the thread must remain, who knows if the site will work out as intended as but as a community we can make it work. Surely it will take a while before the site gains traction.
I know how people can react to change but change is a constant thing.
@bnimz @bellong @catchdwind4rmkd @azy123 @mamajaz @nnbb2012 @michaelamo @uchenna2012 @ozymigrant @teewhysafe.
@everyone
I need your support as a to drive this alternative
I will like to go ahead and work with people who are interested in setting up the modalities.
Does anyone have a suggestion for the site name : I think this is a good development. About the concerns that most of the pioneers raised, I believe that even if it's not sustainable or active it can at least be an archive of all the important information from the thread which will be properly segregated. It can also serve as a back up in case a similar event like the one that happened years ago on Nairaland repeats it self and our data gets lost we can have some where to fall back on. However, I don't think that the new site can be a replacement for this thread as both will have their own uniqueness. I will suggest names like naijaoz dot com Nigeriatoaustralia dot com au4naija dot com naijamigrant dot com skilledmigrationNG dot com NaijatoAU dot com I will also suggest we get a diary section on the site and/or a youtube channel to give some insight on life in Australia from different contributors. These are some of the things we lack in this thread as most of it's content if not all has been texts with little or no graphics. So many times I desire to see Nigerian Vloggers in Australia just like you will see many in America giving insight on some of their activities. The only Australia based channel which I deemed fit to follow on youtube was that of a Filipino guy you can check out his channel on youtube with the name "Abroadero". I will like to get some recommendations of similar channels. |
