Banyuhay Shares CV Tips for Filipino Jobseekers in New Zealand
Banyuhay Aotearoa published a 5 October 2026 blog recap of its CV Writing Workshop for Filipino migrants and jobseekers, featuring HR professional Julius Borines and practical Kiwi-style CV and cover-letter advice.
On 5 October 2026, Banyuhay Aotearoa published a blog post titled Breaking into the New Zealand Job Market: Highlights from Our CV Writing Workshop. The post says Banyuhay Aotearoa hosted a CV Writing Workshop for Filipino migrants and jobseekers featuring HR professional Julius Borines, who the post says brings over 15 years of recruitment and HR experience across the Philippines, the UAE and New Zealand.
According to the post, New Zealand job hunting involves high competition and shifting immigration settings, with opportunities continuing in industries such as healthcare, construction, hospitality, education and engineering. It names Seek, Trade Me Jobs, Indeed and LinkedIn as trusted platforms and warns that anyone asking for money during hiring is a red flag.
The post says NZ employers tend to favour concise CVs of around two to three pages that are relevant, scannable and consistent, and that many employers still read the cover letter first. It advises leaving photos, age, religion, marital status, height or weight out of an NZ CV, and says AI tools can help drafting but content should never be submitted without review.
Banyuhay thanks Julius Borines and organisers Lois and Raffy. The post says the next session, focused on job interviews in New Zealand, is planned for late January, with CV workshop attendees getting priority registration, and directs people who want the recording and slides to email mabuhay@banyuhayaotearoa.org.
