Vijay (31) knew he wanted to come to New Zealand, he was just unsure of how to get a job there.
"I contacted Grow Wellington about a year ago. The major factor that influenced my move to Wellington was New Zealand's development in Information Technology. I happened to develop an application during my Masters degree for a company in New Zealand about booking tickets via mobile devices. I had also heard a lot of very good things like culture, environment and the beauty of the landscape and I wanted to experience it for myself.
“Grow Wellington helped me with a lot of information and support. While I was back in my home country, I did not have any idea of the resume format the employers expect, but under the guidance of Grow Wellington's Cath Randall was able to prepare one to a New Zealand standard. Once I arrived she helped me find a job. I am now working as programmer and IT support at the School of Psychology at Victoria University.
“Life in Wellington is full and happy with clean air, a great landscape and lovely people. I've bought a house in Upper Hutt, and have found working at the university has been great. There are plenty of sports clubs and groups I can join.”
