While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

I highly recommend Do It Right NZ

I’m Vonal, and I recently moved to New Zealand to start the next chapter of my career journey. Like many migrants, adapting to the NZ job market felt challenging at first—especially when it came to presenting my experience in the right way.
I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received from Do It Right NZ and Tara Rathnayake. The career coaching session gave me clear direction, practical insights, and a much better understanding of what employers in New Zealand are really looking for. My CV was completely transformed into a format that truly reflects my skills and aligns with the local job market.
Thanks to her guidance, I was able to secure a role in the civil engineering field within just a couple of weeks. The process felt much more structured and confident after working together.
I highly recommend Do It Right NZ to anyone who is new to New Zealand or struggling to navigate the job market. The support is practical, honest, and genuinely focused on helping you succeed.
Thank you again, Tara, for your guidance and encouragement!
