Re: The end MAY be in sight
I wrote out the questions and wrote my notes to them beforehand on the computer. I then had the documents printed out and to hand as a reference if required. I also had the computer open on the Wiki page for NZ just in case they asked me some NZ related questions e.g. who is the PM etc. but they don't ask those things - it is all about you & your prospects.
I am pretty certain they won't ask to to talk to you but they may ask hubby about what you plan to do. The fact that you have been offered the interview is a really good sign and they want to check how likely you are to settle and contribute and have done some homework.
I'm sure it'll be fine. When is the interview?

sjake,
Good advice, think I will do the same even if the questions arnt asked at least we can be prepared, would hate to be caught out!
I cant see the interviewer wanting to talk to me but wont be happy until my husband puts the phone down saying that bits done!
I have gone through all the anticipated questions making sure we both have good answers and my hubby has started contacting agencies like the CIOB and others he is already a member of, so he can start getting his CV out.
Interview is next thursday........getting real now.......
I see you have 1 month and 2 days left before your flights how are your nerves holding out?

Re: The end MAY be in sight
We had our telephone interview back in June. I was the principal applicant and they did not want to talk to hubby.
