    Do a Search for old threads about 'interview questions' - there is lots of information from people who have gone before you, although I don't remember this interviewer's name being mentioned.

    had a short interview last tuesday.. less than 30 minutes.
    3 days later, she asked for a copy of replies for jobs that I tried to apply for in NZ. why do you think this is?

    @coconut88-how was your application? did you receive your visa already?

    Not sure in your particular case, but when my interview was done I was ask specifically if I had applied for positions, who I applied with, and what the responses were - I was never asked to provide them (but I did have genuine responses to present if needed)

    My guess is this is to determine whether to give a WTR or a straight PR

    Hi Frappe, my application is going well so far. Jessie Zhao is indeed a good and professional CO. I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm waiting for the results of my interview. When do you think the results will be out? I was told about a fortnight. What do you reckon?

    Hi,

    I applied NZ ITA in Mar 2010 (150 points without Job offer). I have recieved an email from NZ Delhi for an interview with me and spouse. Iam very happy to see the email after long time. This is on 3rd week of this July 2011, they also have written if it is inconvenient time then please let us know.

    However, I want to postpone the interview date, as it would not be possible for me with family to travel Delhi on the date. Firstly because I was recently not well and taking post care, secondly, I just resumed my job and have fixed schedules in job.

    Please help me to advice whether I can request for change in the interview date...
    Is this in common, are there many others who changed the interview dates ? does it matter to NZ interviewer or not? please help.. Iam little worried.

    Thanks

    Congratulations on the end to one part of your long wait.

    As they have told you to let them know if the appointment they suggest is inconvenient, I think you should take them at their word. Is there a suitable break in your work, not too far ahead, that you can suggest instead?
