Hello friends,
I have been following the posts on this site for the past few weeks but haven't found any information specifically fitting my scenario , so I think it is a good idea to post my queries here and hope for guidance.
So, let me begin by introducing myself. I am a Psychologist, currently based in India and I have completed my Bachelors and Masters Degree in Psychology (Clinical) from a Govt. University here in India. My husband is a Psychologist too and we are hoping to migrate to NZ as soon as possible.
As per the INZ website we can apply for work visas and are even having around 170 points for applying for EOI. everything looks good in this aspect, but my concern is if we will be able to get jobs as Psychologists in NZ. I have applied for many jobs on various job sites too but they all expect me to have a visa beforehand.I am already applying for Registration as a Psychologist in NZ. I am hoping that I will have better chances of a job offer in hand after the Registration. But how is the job market for Psychologists? Is it difficult to get jobs ? And the average salaries are quoted on multiple sites around 65k per annum ... are Psychologist with Overseas qualifications getting these salaries too or is there a bias?
Is anybody out there who can guide us regarding this? I would appreciate any input.
Thanks in advance
