Don't walk into a fast food restaurant and say, "Give me a job!" So simple! International students in New Zealand who want to work need to submit an application to the New Zealand Immigration Department first. Only after the application is passed can you find a part-time job. In New Zealand, the government stipulates that the minimum wage for hourly workers is1NZD 2.5/hour. The salary after tax deduction is about 10 NZD/hour, which is not bad for international students.
Tax affairs
As long as you come to live in New Zealand, the government will issue you a tax number. When you are looking for a job, the employer will ask you for the tax number, so that you can pay the payroll tax to the tax bureau. The New Zealand government stipulates that the payroll tax is 09.5% of 65438+ income, which is automatically deducted. So when looking for a job, be sure to ask what the pre-tax salary is!
personal security
Pay attention to safety first in everything. For foreign students who are strangers, there is no need to "go far" when choosing a workplace. Try to choose a place near the school, so that you don't have to run around the school, and you can have a deeper understanding of the situation around the school. Moreover, it is not recommended to choose night shift when going to work, mainly because you are unfamiliar with the place, get off work too late, are unfamiliar with the public security situation, and have no guarantee for personal safety.
working hours
Don't think that hard work is allowed! According to the regulations of the New Zealand government, international students can only take part-time jobs for 20 hours/week if they have studied language courses for more than 14 weeks. So don't just think about working to earn pocket money. Learn the language lesson well first. However, for international students with master's degree or above studying in New Zealand, the working hours are not limited.
Precautions for New Zealand students to work:
1, studying in New Zealand and choosing an after-school job, the most basic quality is strong spoken English.
2. It is relatively simple for international students with professional skills to find a job. For example, professional engineers, designers and chefs can basically find good jobs as long as they submit resumes to employers.
3. Write a resume and fully recommend yourself to the employer. The content is concise.
4. Keep a good attitude and don't give up easily.
