If you call up the ANZSCO description of your job, the CO will be wanting to check that your responsibilities at work mean that you do things to match almost everything on that ANZSCO list. (There isn't a standard set of questions or answers, because people's jobs all differ slightly.) The CO will probably have received answers to a questionnaire about your work from your employer, covering the same point, and will be checking that you are both saying about the same. (Not the exact same words, but that you both agree what you have to do.)

11. Say some facts.. like according to this research.. NZ is the 4th Safest country, HDI is 0.93... Second in Quality of life etc etc..
12. During my interview.. I took opportunities in many of the questions to say more than expected as I have to ensure that what ever I have prepared should not go unnoticed. But ofcourse it should make relevance to the question..
13. preparation is the key..

(This interview is the CO interview for someone who DOESN'T have a NZ job or offer. Harman01, you won't have to answer this range of questions - yours will be about your job description, and exactly what you have to do day to day at work.)

Thanks, NZ2016.

Thanks Jand M for the advice. Co already send questioner to my employer and employer replied to it. My Co ask few basic questions to my employer,wondering Co Might interview me more than him. Bit nervous hope everything goes well.

[JandM]

Good luck.

[Harman01]

Hi J and M thanks. Can you suggest is my Co will ask only questions he asked to my employer or anything other than that else well? If you can share any sample of interview questions asked to employee will be really helpful? i know questions will differ but the trend must be sample...

[JandM]

I've just answered you on your other thread.

[Harman01]

Hi jandM
my application is with second person check now. I dont get any interview call yet..
Is it normal that my Co made recommendation without any interview . Finger crossed

[JandM]

The CO does not HAVE to interview you, if the information he got from the paperwork and from your employer told him all he needed to know.

Good luck and fingers crossed. ++++++++++++++++++++++
