Dear John,

Jacob has applied for residence in New Zealand and has authorised Immigration New Zealand to confirm the details of their employment with your company. In order to continue processing James’s application for residence, I would be grateful if you could provide me with the information requested below by 08 June 2016.

1. What is Jacob’s current position?
2. When did Jacob start?
3. How many people are currently employed by your company?
4. Has Jacob held any other positions? If so, what other positions and when were these held?
5. A description of the purpose of Jacob’s position in your own words:
6. How many hours a week does Jacob work?
7. What is Jacob’s current remuneration?
8. What is the duration of Jacob’s current employment (i.e. is it permanent or fixed term) and, if fixed term, is it renewable?
9. Did your company verify Jacob’s previous work references, and if so, which ones?
10. Why is Jacobconsidered to be particularly suited to the position?
11. What is your role in the business?
12. Please briefly explain what your company does.

Please confirm whether JamJacobes completes the following tasks as a part of his role “Yes” or “No”; and if “Yes” please briefly explain how Jacob completes the task:

researching, consulting, analysing and evaluating system program needs
identifying technology limitations and deficiencies in existing systems and associated processes, procedures and methods

Thanks for this. I don't think we've seen an actual questionnaire on the forum before.

The second part, where the employer is supposed to say 'yes' or 'no' to if the applicant completes that task, and if so, how, is taken directly from the ANZSCO description of the job. http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@....ns+Programmers For each line of the ANZSCO job description, there needs to be a short real-life example of what he does for the company. Obviously, this section will be different for each different job, but the principle is the same.

Thanks for pointing it out JandM.

The second part is specific to ANZCO job description. The second part was mostly based on Software Engineer role
