Priorities for New Zealand

  • Match the destination format

    Switch country / regional layout (photo for JP/KR/CN norms, AU/UK one-pagers, US summary-first) so recruiters see local conventions — not a home-country template pasted as-is.

  • State work authorization clearly

    Put visa status or citizenship near contact or in a short summary line when the market expects it (e.g. “Australian PR”, “Eligible for EP”, “US green card”). Avoid burying sponsorship needs in page two.

  • Signal relocation readiness

    If you are already in-country or have a move date, say so once. Autofill maps relocation and work-authorization answers on many ATS forms.
