New Zealand
Resume Master for applicants in New Zealand
A New Zealand CV is two pages on A4 in New Zealand English, with no photo and a personal statement at the top. Employers in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch read for the registration or qualification first, then the most recent role, and they expect referees to be available. These CV examples name the Nursing Council, the Teaching Council, CAANZ and Engineering New Zealand where a role is regulated, and keep the page the length a New Zealand recruiter expects.

What a New Zealand CV gets right
A4 paper, British English, dates as DD/MM/YYYY, no photo. These are the conventions the editor follows for New Zealand, and all it changes: no translation, no separate templates, the same product priced the same everywhere.
- A4 paper
- New Zealand prints on A4. Set the page size before you export; a Letter-sized PDF is the usual sign of a US template.
- Two pages is normal
- Two pages is the norm. One page for a first job; a third page only for a long senior career.
- No photo
- No photo, date of birth or marital status. New Zealand employers do not expect them and most prefer the CV without them.
- Dates as DD/MM/YYYY
- Day first where a full date appears, and month and year for each role. Never the US month-first order.
- New Zealand English
- New Zealand English follows British spelling: organise, programme, centre, licence, specialise.
- Suburb and city, not a street address
- "Mount Eden, Auckland" is enough on the contact line. A full street address is not expected.
