| 1130868 | 2010-08-23 04:16:00 | Concentrate on your interpersonal skills and English. Not being rude about your foreignness, but it's one thing loads of companies look for - excellent communication. And you will just have to join the queue with everyone else. Helpdesk is OK but make sure it's helpdesk for a company that does networking - not just some 3rd party call centre. There are positions for juniors - I've seen 2 lately. |

| 1130869 | 2010-08-23 04:16:00 | No experience means there is pretty much no way you will get a job as a network admin, you should be looking at level 1 support, something with prospects for LVL2 and LVL3 support would be ideal. EDS (I'm not sure if it is still called EDS, might be HP) would be a good place to start, you could also try Datacom but I'm not sure if they offer 1st level support (i.e. helpdesk). For practical knowledge, all of the Microsoft certs are pretty good but I wouldn't recommend sitting them without actual experience. |

| 1130870 | 2010-08-23 05:04:00 | I think your best chances are to apply for graduate positions; there is an expectation that you will have no experience. I started by applying for graduate positions. | utopian201 (6245) | ||
| 1130871 | 2010-08-23 05:09:00 | Getting a job with a foreign accent is NOT easy in NZ; of course there are plenty of 'blue-collar' jobs around which do not require any proper qualification, meaning you must be physically fit and don't tell them that you have a bachelor/master degree!:D | bk T (215) | ||

| 1130875 | 2010-08-23 07:57:00 | imo look for exp first, any IT exp, if not that then look for non IT work exp cos it's better than doing nothing (the money too). you can use that to get into a IT firm and work in non IT and then later try to get into a IT role. i agree that exp comes first, not anymore quals, looks like you have enof. once you get any exp, that will show you can work in NZ and you have proven work exp. other NZ employers have hired you. |

| 1130876 | 2010-08-23 12:30:00 | If you can, get a part-time job in network administration while you are still studying. This shows that you are willing to go for the extra experience even when you haven't graduated yet. Good luck. |
