Excellent. Thanks for that. My CV is pretty much on the same format that you have posted. Applied in 4 places and got a call very next day from all 4 even though the closing date was about a month away. Telephone interview couple of days later and now they are waiting for referees before making a formal offer.

Hi there, I managed to get a job before i came out, the current state of immigration mean you will most likely need an offer for the required points (if going for residency), have a look at accent health recruitment they give good advice and are free, you will need to be quite far into the nursing registration process to be considered by most jobs

Hi,
Don't supply your date of birth in your CV. Ageism is illegal in NZ and the organisation isn't allowed to ask for your date of birth as part of the recruiting process, only once you are offered a place. Some organisations include it in the application form, but it is supposed to be hidden from the people who are actually recruiting.
