Jobseeker Programme

ODG RECRUITMENT INTERNATIONAL

The key to successful immigration is finding a job. When searching for a job overseas, it stands to reason that you cannot be in two places at once. This is the very reason why our sister employment consulting division, ODG Recruitment International was established.                                 

Visa Centre clients receive free jobseeker assistance provided by ODG Recruitment International.

We are dedicated to helping prospective migrants commence the search for employment BEFORE leaving home. We understand that you will want to start earning swiftly upon your arrival and not eat into your precious savings. Therefore, we have created a Jobseeker Programme to help you with one of the most stressful, but important burdens...finding a job.

Although no guarantees of success are given, the programme will be tailored to fit your individual needs, prevailing market conditions and the skill requirements in the country at that particular time. Generally, we will take your C.V. and depending on your skills/profession we will either work on your behalf to introduce you to employers or we will provide leads for you to follow up directly.  We are always available to answer any questions you have about the job search process and can advise on how to prepare a C.V. according the New Zealand, Australian or Canadian style.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR C.V.

Before you start the job search process it is essential that you prepare a professional Curriculum Vitae (CV) fitting the local style in New Zealand, Australia or Canada. Generally a CV that is styled for the UK, European or other overseas markets will not be suitable for use in your new country.

CREATING CREDIBILITY

One of the main problems faced by applicants for jobs overseas is scepticism. Employers often reject "offshore" applications outright unless introduced by a local agency. Many employers believe that most foreign applicants will never qualify for the necessary residence visas or make the life-changing step of moving overseas. Here you will have a distinct advantage. Participating in the Jobseeker Programme presents solid evidence to prospective employers that you are serious about your move. Since you will have already been interviewed and screened by us we are able to confidently introduce you to local companies. An added benefit is that your residence visa application will be processed by the Visa Centre thus reducing the risk of delay or refusal and in doing so eliminating another major concern for most employers.

We will;

Research and identify employers employ candidates with your skills

 Guide you on how to present and prepare yourself for an interview 

Guide you on how to prepare a CV in the style of your destination country 

 Provide an arrival consultation and advice on how to set up interviews

 Provide advice about the local job market in your chosen profession

 You will need to;

Advise us of the specific region/city in which you have chosen to settle

Prepare an up-to-date and comprehensive CV in the style used in your destination country

Plan a visit to attend interviews as most employers will not offer jobs on a “sight unseen basis (if you require/need a job offer prior to migrating)     

Apply for vacancies no longer than 3 months ahead of your intended arrival date 

Keep an open mind and be flexible.  Don't expect a job at the same level or salary as in your home country. You may need to take a step back in order to gain local knowledge and experience.
