Hi Gandhara
I am the man who can reply all your queries.
I applied under skilled migrant category obtaining bonus points for shortage skills under University Lecturer .
I have a master's from NZ and a ongoing Phd (defense remaining) and several years of teaching and research experience.
I am here and looking for jobs in Polytechs and PTE.
I am from engineering background and so it is hard for me to find jobs in PTEs.
But if you are from Business background and have a phd and some years of teaching experience, PTEs will definitely give you chances.
There are like 20 odd PTE running business courses in Auckland. Plz visit the following website.

I think you dont need to worry. It will definitely take some time but you must be fine. But one thing is for sure, these PTEs don't have much full time jobs, they are looking for people to do some modules of some courses here and there. You will be surprised to know that a PTE running 3-4 programs in Business have 2-3 full timers (old and loyal ones).
I have been called by a PTE and will be starting a part time job soon. PM me for more info.
I think we two can open a PTE once you come here and run some programs in Business and Technology hehe
... just kidding
