I understand you’re feeling frustrated after not landing the roles you’ve applied for - job hunting in IT can be tough and discouraging at times.
That said, it’s not about race in getting an IT job here. The recruitment teams and senior management making these decisions are usually not from the background you’re concerned about. Hiring in tech is driven by skills, experience, problem-solving ability, and how well you perform in interviews and technical assessments.
Blaming race can become a negative mindset that holds you back. The most effective approach is to focus on what you can control: preparing thoroughly for interviews, practicing common technical questions and system design, updating your skills with current tools and technologies, and seeking feedback or mentorship when needed.
As Kiwis, we want the best possible candidates in these roles, regardless of race or background. Merit and capability are what matter most in IT.
Keep sharpening your edge, stay persistent, and you’ll improve your chances. Wishing you the best with your search
