Answer: YES .. for a fresh gradkiwichick wrote:Hi guys
I am new here, hope to make a few friends on the way! I am a 23yearold female graduate with a masters in architecture, very fresh out of uni - i only graduated last friday! So i do not have my formal qualification in my hands yet.
I would really love a few opinions, I am in New Zealand right now, lived here all my life, but my background is Singaporean. I am a very patriotic New Zealander - so if any kiwis read this - yeah, nah, give a yell!
I have been fortunate to been offered a graduate position at a large architecture firm, starting in the new year, salary monthly of $3500 a month.
I am wondering, because i have not signed any contracts YET (i was only offered this job on Wednesday - contracts drawn up and sent to me yesterday - ) I only just graduated, and need to send proof of my qualification, but of course I do not have my masters in my hands yet - that is formally given next year in may - how do i prove this?
Also, is $3500 enough for me to save some money on the side as well as live off?? I intend to flat - or to share a condo/HDB apartment with a few other young expats (also, give a yell if you too, are in my situation with no accommodation sorted out yet for jan 2012 onwards, and are interested in sharing a apartment. In new zealand we call it flatting. It would be great to talk and find a place together! MY budget for my own room would be $500-$700monthly)
And is $3500 good starting rate? I am wondering to bargain or not?
Thank you so much in advanced
errr .. at the time you go to collect your EP, there is a possibility that MOM will want to see the original of the certificate .. no kiddingshhh0812 wrote: No need to pay for copies of a 'Certificate of Completion', so please don't waste money purchasing one!
Good luck!
From my experience (and also the experience of many other fresh graduates during my time, especially from Aus and NZ), cert of completion would do.sundaymorningstaple wrote:No real need to chime in. It's normally on Eastern Europe and other Asian or 3rd world country where this problem crops up. NZ I doubt very seriously will have a problem as long as the original letter alluded to is in their possession. Should be okay with that.
Hey Im really interested in keeping in touch, I think I will miss NZ so much and would be awesom to have someone going through the same thing, not to mention a possible flatting buddy?? very interested in talking, whats your cell number in NZ to txt? my email is [email protected]shhh0812 wrote:Hey kiwi chick,
