📝 Description: In this powerful episode of Soft Landing, I interview Andre Cronje, a South African immigrant who arrived in New Zealand with just $3,000, two suitcases, and no job and went on to become a general manager at a leading defense company within four years. Andre shares his step-by-step journey: from door-to-door sales to senior leadership, using smart CV strategies, skill stacking, and understanding the hidden rules of New Zealand's job market. Whether you're applying from overseas or already in NZ and struggling to land that first interview, this conversation is packed with practical advice and hard-earned wisdom. What you'll learn: How to tailor your CV to pass NZ recruitment filters Why culture fit often matters more than qualifications The real reason cover letters and one-page CVs matter What "skill stacking" is and how it can transform your job prospects How to adapt your communication style for Kiwi workplaces This is a must-listen for new immigrants and job seekers alike.
