1. Get an internship before you graduate. Not only can you get used to the New Zealand working environment, but your employers will love it when you look for a new job.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of international students are curious about “what it’s really like in the working world”. Go out and try find an internship before you graduate so you can get a taste of the working environment, and find out what skills you may need to acquire before you graduate. Employers will always choose a student with working experience over those without.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Develop your own skills on top of your study in school.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are a looking to get a job in Software Engineering, try to do your own projects outside of University. It will help develop your skills and you can show this to employers even if you don’t have working experience. I did 2-3 projects whilst I was in University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Be connected with good friends. You may get inspiration and motivation from them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Birds of a feather flock together, surround yourself around positive and good people who will push you to go further in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
