How do I find a supervisor/provisional licence applicant?
Whether you are looking for a supervisor, or someone to supervise, it is vital that you approach it in a respectful and professional way and expect a professional relationship. Both parties should approach it as they would employment and expect a professional CV, cover letter and interview.
Provisional licence applicants looking for a supervisor
Provisional licence applicants who are looking for a supervisor can:
- Check Te Pūkenga |Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology’s student forum for advertisements
- Approach immigration adviser professional organisations who could potentially put them in contact with a supervisor
- Network at industry group events
- Approach licensed immigration advisers in their area with a professional cover letter and CV and expect that if a person is interested they would first conduct an interview with you.
Provisional licence applicants should expect that they will need to approach a number of advisers before being successful. If they are having difficulty, it may be helpful to consider getting some training on how to prepare a CV and cover letter and how to interview well.
Supervisors looking for a provisional licence applicant
Supervisors who are looking for a provisional licence applicant to supervise can advertise directly to Te Pūkenga |Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology’s students.
