The aim of this qualitative research is to discover what kind of difficulties recently graduated Chinese international students have faced in finding paid work in New Zealand, and conversely what kind of advantages or opportunities their background as international students may have provided in locating jobs.

The results of this study indicated Chinese international graduates faced some common problems and difficulties in the process of their job seeking: identity problems, language problems, a lack of social networks and local work experiences, difficulties with CV writing. The outcomes of this research can help New Zealand policy makers to develop more effective policy for international graduates in order to improve the attractiveness of New Zealand export education industry.
