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?

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'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?

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?

I'm hoping for some insights from ppl in supply chain logistics. I’m a part-time inventory coordinator at a big company and have the chance to move into a full-time operations role for way more pay. BUT there's weekend work involved. I do want to move up the ranks and I don’t mind the grind, but I’m keen to hear stories from people already working in similar logistics roles. Do you enjoy it? Is it worth it? Are there any roles where you can move to a more structured 9-5?

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'?
