meet zarelsie

Zarelsie is known as the Migration Mentor and rather than speaking about immigrants, she speaks to immigrants.

She focuses on providing mentoring & guidance to new immigrants relating to finding jobs, dealing with the challenges and frustration of integrating into their new country.

As an immigrant herself she is fully aware of the stress and emotional turmoil moving to another country can cause and want to share her experience and knowledge with others to ensure they don’t make the same mistakes she did – ensuring their transition is smooth and less of an emotional rollercoaster which many experience.

Books Written By An Immigrant….Specifically For Immigrants

Zarélsie is an immigrant herself and narrated her own personal story of immigration in her first book Running From The Rainbow Nation to start a new life in New Zealand. It is the bittersweet chain of events that eventually brought this family to a new country and a new life. It describes their struggle to find a way out of South Africa while under stress, facing obstacles and meeting a range of “angels” – people appearing on their path to help them on their journey. It is a personal account of huge change in the life of one family and the silent truths that lay on the heart of someone who has to face the heartache and rush of immigration – the most traumatic event in any human being’s life. But is it also a tale of hope and adaptation in a new country, blessed with wonderful people and a clean, safe environment. A great read for anyone who faces the same situation, anywhere in the world.

In her second book, The Q-Jumper Factor – The Ultimate Guide to Landing a Job In a New Country In Record Time she has written as a brilliant guide for immigrant job seekers.
