Hi Kishore, I've been trying to migrate from previous programming role to a web development one since October 2014. Listing what you know on the CV, even so far as showing previous projects does not seem to achieve much in my experience. Though you have a more extensive range and pretty great previous experience listed!

Do you know if they were viewing your LinkedIn profile? If they were, perhaps you need(if you haven't already) a website portfolio and blog? I think the industry here might be very competitive, it seems more important to have network connections. Perhaps try to gain these connections from the monthly Meetups at meetup.com?

It's a bit concerning that if someone with your background isn't making it to the shortlists what chance could I possibly have lol. Just to clarify, are you using the job portals Seek and TradeMe? And what sort of role are you seeking? Senior? Another alternative you might have is recruitment agencies that may be able to assist or freelance agencies such as Pond.

All the best :)

Your both right with respect to presuming Heart communion with a global human community or family.

But unfortunately, that type of 'system' doesn't exist in the world yet because nobody's built it.

The only systems that exist in the world today are non-circular or non-scalar systems such as computers or Turing machines.  If you want to participate in the system that you're describing then you need to invert the current social, political and economic model and turn it into a dialogue instead, or circular system in which everybody 'serves' one another.

Now you have a means to an end, and you can advertise your services not just to the people of New Zealand but to the people of the world, who are the human community or family or everybody-all-at-once.

Hi Kishore,

Thanks for posting to the list. There are quite a few people on this
list so I'm sure somebody might be able to point you in a direction or
two. Also, take a look at the Auckland [1] and Wellington [2] Node.js
MeetUp Groups and post there. Make sure that if you post, be specific
in the kind of help you are looking for. It's much easier to reply if
you're specific about what you need.

Listing your skills is a good idea, but without having seen your
CV/Resume it's hard to know whether you're the right fit for any
particular job (not having seen those either also makes it hard for me
to comment whether you should or shouldn't be shortlisted). However,
there may be a couple of other things you could do which not just list
your skills, but demonstrate them too. If you have any code on GitHub
or some other code hosting site, it'd be good to throw that in any job
application. Personally, I'm not a big fan of LinkedIn and I'd
probably never (ever) look someone up on there ... that might be wrong
of me, but I think there are other better ways to scope out an
applicant.

By the way, when I'm looking at people, I quite often look at the
contributions they have made to other projects as well as their own
ones on whichever hosting site they tend to prefer.

I'd also just like to point out a general rule in that I think it's
difficult to hire anybody actually living in a different country. In
my current job we do two phone/Skype interviews and if they get past
those, we generally bring them in to an office for "in real life"
interviews too, which sometimes includes another one or two Video
Conferencing interviews. So, to be honest, I'm not surprised it's hard
to be hired from elsewhere. You may have more luck once you're here
(though of course, I'm sure you'd like to land and know you already
have a job sorted - it's kind of chicken and egg). Back in 2002 when I
first arrived here, it took me three months to get a job ... ah ....
that was a different era - ignore me! :)

Finally, if you can't find the opening you want, perhaps fix a few
bugs in some open source software that a company in New Zealand
maintains, don't even offer, just do it. This shows not just your
skills (of picking up a new codebase, as well as programming) but also
initiative. If you don't have time for that, perhaps try some software
out and raise some bugs you find on the project. I'd probably pick a
project that you can see has recent activity and that the company is
likely still maintaining.

I'm afraid all of this advice may or may not get you anywhere, but I
hope it helps a little bit towards getting something you want. I'll go
away for a day or so and try and come up with some companies that may
like your skills and will get back to you soon.

Cheers,
Andy

Thanks Brennan ,  Actually I was there in all meetups.once I come there I will participate in all of those. Actually now I am getting calls from consultancies.

Hi Andy ,

Thanks, yeah I know I should show some code, but I did 1 or 2 participation in github, writing some todo code for flux library and pointing a bug in rethink live feeds. I thought i wouldn't be nice to put github link having only 2 participation , and also I have started building a portfolio website. I am attaching my profile. if you know any openings please let me know.

Thanks
Kishorevarma
