- There are over 70 questions. Take your time and check a dictionary if you don't know the meaning of a word. You can use Google Tranlsate or the Macmillan dictionary.
- You might get many results - you can use the "filter" on the right to cut down the number.
- Choose five jobs from the final list that interest you and write them on your sheet.
- Now look at NZ's top job search website to find out how much money you can earn in each job. Write down the minimum, average, and miximum salary next to each job on your worksheet.
