You’ve worked hard to become a nurse in New Zealand. Now, you’re ready to take the next step in your nursing career — but getting the right job can feel hard, especially in a new country and a new healthcare system.
This course is made especially for internationally qualified nurses like you. Nurses who:
- Have English as a second language
- Want to work as registered nurses in New Zealand or Australia
- Want to write a strong, professional resume
- Want to stand out and be noticed by employers
- Want to feel confident in interviews
Your Words Matter
You don’t need to pay someone else to write your CV or cover letter. Employers want to hear your voice, your story, and your experience. This course gives you the tools to do it yourself — with honesty, confidence, and professionalism. Trust yourself. You've got this!
Why Is This Important?
In New Zealand and Australia, many nurses are applying for the same jobs. Your resume is the first thing an employer will read about you. It helps them decide if they want to interview you. A small mistake in your resume or interview can stop you from getting the job — even if you are a good nurse.
A great resume will lead to an interview…a great interview will lead to a job!
This course will help you:
- Avoid common mistakes
- Speak with confidence in interviews
- Show your true value as a nurse
- Be prepared and stand out from the crowd
You already have the heart of a nurse. This course will help you show it — on paper, in interviews, and to every employer you meet.
