Who is this for
Most migrants focus only on interview answers — but interviews are the final step of a much bigger process.If the foundation is weak, interviews will always feel stressful and unpredictable.
This is for you if:
You’re a migrant or newcomer navigating the NZ job market
You’re applying for roles but not hearing back
Interviews feel unpredictable or uncomfortable
Feedback is vague or non-existent
You know you’re capable — but something isn’t clicking
The issue isn’t effort — it’s optimisation.
Clarity → Optimisation → Interview Psychology → Confident Impression

Hi, I’m Ekta Khippal— Founder of Job Success Lab
I’ve worked closely with migrants navigating the New Zealand job market — many highly capable, yet unsupported.
What I saw repeatedly wasn’t a lack of skill.
It was a lack of guidance, structure, and confidence-building context.
Having navigated this process myself and later worked within corporate NZ, I saw how much clarity and psychology shape hiring decisions.Job Success Lab was built to offer what most people never received:
👍 Clear explanations,
👍 Practical strategy, and
👍 Psychological safety — all grounded in real hiring expectations.

In reality, it often starts much earlier — with clarity, positioning, or preparation.You can begin by understanding the process guide yourself, or talk it through with me.
Both options are free.
If you’ve tried applying, interviewing, or preparing on your own — and still feel unsure — a short conversation can bring clarity.
If you’re not sure where to begin, this guide will help you:
👉 Understand how NZ interviews really work
👉 Learn the psychology behind common questions
