Online Interviews

Automotive Employment NZ use a range of online platforms for interviewing including MS Teams, Zoom, Skype.

When your Recruitment Executive requests your attendance for an online interview, they will try to accommodate your needs with a suitable online interviewing tool. The recruiters are well used to guiding applicants if you have any trouble connecting.

Test your device or computer to ensure the connection is strong. If in doubt, find a connection that will not disrupt your interview. 

Having other family members attend an interview is totally acceptable at Automotive Employment NZ, particularly so if you are offshore. Our team wishes to make the experience as stress free as possible and will welcome other family members that wish to join the online meeting.

Be natural, be friendly, and feel free to use humour. It is the New Zealand way of life. Just be you. The New Zealand tradition of interviewing is more relaxed than it often is overseas.

Treat your online interview as you would a face-to-face interview with an employer in other regards. The Recruitment Executive acts as a representative for the employer. A good rule of thumb to work by is to dress how you would in your workplace.

Be prepared. Have your resume and qualifications close by, as well as any documents relevant to your application. 

If your application is from offshore, make yourself readily available. There are significant time differences in most countries compared to the time in New Zealand. Showing a wiliness to interview at times that suit the Recruitment Executive is the only logical solution.

South African applicants

The issue of load shedding in South Africa is well known to Automotive Employment NZ. Please check for scheduled outages ahead of your interview so the interview can proceed uninterrupted.
