Without Industry Connect I don't know how I could get experience in the IT industry because I lacked a lot of confidence in the beginning. Simon has been working with us for a while, but now he’s taking a step up in his career after landing a new position as a senior software developer. We [...]
"My friends always ask - how did you get a great job in IT when you studied Finance and Economics?" For people outside the world of IT, it can seem like there’s no chance of ever entering that realm of software development. Front end, back end, javascript… what does it all mean? Surely to [...]
Usually there’s a gap between University knowledge and real-world experience, and Industry Connect helped me fill that gap. We hear the same story over and over again here at Industry Connect. Recent Graduates come out of University and have trouble finding a job. It’s a common problem, and the reason is simple; they have no [...]
That’s the advice I would give; get used to the New Zealand work environment. No matter which country you’re from, programmers all speak the same language. Coding is universal, so if you have experience in one part of the world and want to move to another part, then it’s the perfect job to bring with [...]
"If you are a recent uni graduate Industry Connect can be the perfect place." Ok, so now University is over, it’s time to get out into the real world and find a job! But as many people discover, it’s not that simple. There are graduates out there who have applied for hundreds of positions, and [...]
I gained confidence, overcame that barrier and now I’m working as a software developer. Yet another one of our Graduates has landed a job as a software developer! This time it’s Ribu, who has just started her new position at GS1 here in Auckland. We caught up with her to ask her about her time [...]
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 [...]
