How can I apply for a skilled migrant visa in New Zealand through my educational background?

Does having a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry automatically qualify me to apply for a skilled migrant visa in NZ?

On Venkateswaran Palat Krishnan answered:

Yes, if you havea job offer. Currently, PhD holders are qualified to apply for the Skilled Migrant category, but need to have a skilled job or job offer in New Zealand.  Most applicants without a PhD will be required to spend time working in New Zealand before becoming eligible for residence.
