Hello All, I have 7 years of total work experience and 4+ in Product Management, based out of India. I am done with my bad work life balance and want to move to a country where I am not exhausted while forever trying to balance my work and personal life. I am planning to study and settle in New Zealand. Do you think New Zealand is a good option for this? How has New Zealand treated you and how's life been?

AI is changing the way we work. It makes tasks faster, but it also reminds us of the skills only humans have: empathy, creativity, and critical thinking. As we adapt, which of these feels most important to you?

Kia ora, I’m Suhani Balar, a fully registered Physiotherapist with the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand, holding a current Annual Practising Certificate (APC). I am now looking for a full-time physiotherapy opportunity in the Wellington or Kāpiti region where I can continue to support people in achieving their health and wellbeing goals. If you know of any suitable opportunities, or if your organisation is hiring, I’d love to connect and have a conversation. Ngā mihi nui, Suhani Balar

I need advice. My workplace unfortunately has a culture of (some) people feeling the need to prove themselves constantly. I just like to put my head down and get my work done, but find I am often asked to weigh into discussions that I feel are slightly combative. But It’s not like I can just ignore people in my team when asked for my professional opinion. How can I navigate this? What is a polite way of opting out of non-productive workplace 'rivalry'?

Starting a new job soon and am SO NERVOUS. 😭 I know it's probably dumb to worry about, but I want to make sure I make friends from day one. Any tips for making a good first impression?

Here are some helpful tips for those looking for a career in video and film production. Build a strong reel showcasing your best work. Network at film festivals and industry events. Master both technical skills and storytelling. Start with smaller projects to gain experience. Stay current with new technology and trends. Collaborate well—relationships matter as much as talent. Be persistent but professional. What's been your biggest challenge breaking into video production?

I just had my two-year work anniversary and it’s dawned on me that I have zero career plans. I like my job and my company, but I don’t know if I’m that ambitious to follow a management path here, if that makes sense? How do people figure out what they really want to do - I need some direction and I have no idea how to find it.

I'm a 37 year old mum, looking to return to the workforce. I hold a current COA, full driver's license, reliable transport. My passion is working in the Security Industry, but have recently been thinking about my own business, as I am finding it hard to find work that fits within my children's school hours. Am I too old now? Is it too late for me? Any advice and suggestions would be much appreciated.

I need advice on how to build a helpful network. I'm in an industry where there’s a lot of competition, so naturally the people I work with aren't going to share the best work opportunities. How can I expand my network in other directions, so my connections are useful for referrals? Should I be looking at more professional networking events?
