A. This is because the application form contains two declarations, which must be signed personally by the applicant. It also requires other information not always recorded on a CV such as if you are known by another name (alias), if you are legally entitled to work in New Zealand or your consent to a medical check, if required. All candidates must personally complete in full and sign an application form before they can be considered for employment.
