In New Zealand, how is the job market for HR? Are there good openings for HR or is it more for medical fields for a Master's?

Yes, the job market for HR professionals in New Zealand is strong, with good opportunities across private companies, government, and state-owned enterprises.
HR roles such as HR Manager, Talent Acquisition Specialist, and Learning & Development Manager are in demand. While medical fields are also sought after, HR is a viable and growing career path - especially if you have a Master’s degree and relevant experience.
The Post Study Work Visa (PSW) lets you gain local HR work experience after graduation, further improving your job prospects.
