In this video I break down exactly how I became a teacher in New Zealand, from finding real job listings to what the interview process can look like. I share where I personally recommend you search (and why), including official vacancy boards like the Education Gazette, plus other places like Seek and Trade Me, and recruitment agencies like Prospero. If you’re outside New Zealand or newly arrived, I also talk about how to approach applications in a way that actually makes sense for NZ schools. I also go into the types of interview questions you can expect, the general vibe of NZ school interviews, and the practical tips I wish more people knew before applying—especially if you’re an expat teacher trying to figure out timelines, paperwork, and what schools are really looking for. And because money matters (and I’m always honest about that), I explain where to check teacher salary scales so you’re not guessing or relying on outdated info. If you’re serious about moving and teaching in NZ, this is your step-by-step starting point.
