I would definitely recommend Industry Connect to people without any experience - people definitely require working experience in New Zealand. Software development is a profession in which both men and women are equally suited, but unfortunately, the statistics don’t show equal employment in the industry. Here at Industry Connect, we are fully aware that the [...]
Jigs always wanted to become an automation test analyst, but like so many others straight out of University, found it hard to get a job. Luckily he found us instead. Now he’s a working as an automation test analyst at Foster Moore, and before he took off on his new career he got dressed up [...]
Industry Connect give you what you really need in the industry, so you don’t waste your time learning a whole lot of different things that are unnecessary. We like to target recent graduates who can’t get a job, people who have taken a gap year, and developers who want to change direction with their IT [...]
I’m very good at coding, but I’m a very shy person. Here I learned confidence. If you’re out there looking for a frontend developer job, you might be having a hard time getting interviews. And if you’re lucky enough to land an interview, then you might not be getting job offers. There are many reasons [...]
I spent a lot of money and time to get my degree, so I was thinking the least I could do is work in the industry. If you’ve just graduated and are now struggling to find a job, then don’t panic. Thousands of Graduates struggle each year to find work, and usually for the same [...]
I think joining Industry Connect is a very good path to get some experience When applying for jobs, you need to know what employers are looking for. Which programming languages are industry standard? Which are no longer relevant? Which are up and coming? There’s no point spending 4 years at University only to come out [...]
If you want to succeed, this is the place. Once again Industry Connect have taken someone who couldn’t find a job, brought them in under our wing, and helped them secure employment. This time it’s Clovis who is starting a new career in the software industry as an integration developer. Before he started his new [...]
When I joined Industry Connect, I knew nothing about IT or BI! One of the fastest-growing areas of the IT and software development industry is Business Intelligence, or BI. There are plenty of jobs out there for a budding Business Intelligence Analyst, but only if you know what you’re doing, show confidence in an interview, [...]
“At University they just taught me the basics in coding, but not the industry technology.” Recent IT graduates are having a hard time finding jobs once they leave University. And it’s not because there are no jobs out there – the IT sector is one of the fastest growing in the world – it’s because [...]
The first thing they asked; "Do you have local experience?" When I said, "No." that was it, it was done. Many people come to New Zealand with experience and qualifications in IT, but instead of walking into a job as expected, they are shocked to discover they can’t even get an interview! We have seen [...]
