Here is the latest list of companies participating in GRADUAN's Australian Recruitment Drive:

This is not an exhaustive list and GRADUAN is working hard to get the participation of other companies in the Australian Recruitment Drive.

Just a reminder that the companies aren't just looking for graduate employment positions but are also offering internship opportunities. What this means is that even if you're just finishing your 1st, 2nd or 3rd year, you might be lucky enough to gain invaluable internship experience in your field which will only make you all the more appealing to future employers when you eventually graduate. 

GRADUAN Resume Submission Guidelines

You can email your Resumes to GRADUAN at graduancareers@graduan.com.my.

In the email clearly state the following: 

• That you're studying in Brisbane
• The university you're enrolled in
• Your field of study
• Your graduation year 

It is important to remember that the number of companies that will be coming over to Brisbane will depend heavily on the number of resumes GRADUAN receives from Brisbane. So this is very much a community effort! Spread the word to all your friends!

Please keep in mind that although the companies you're interested in might not come over to Brisbane, by submitting your resume to GRADUAN your resume will be stored on their online database. This database of resumes is made available to all the participating companies in GRADUAN's Australian Recruitment Drive. So no matter if some company might make the trip to Brisbane or not, your resume will get to the companies you are targeting for, and if they are interested in you, arrangements can be made for a suitable time and place for the interview (most probably back in Malaysia). And from there you never know what opportunity will be presented to you!

UQMSA Interview Workshop

UQMSA Interview Workshop (27/8/2011)

A couple of weeks back, UQMSA put together an Interview Workshop Session for our members. It's a follow up to the Resume Writing Workshop that was organized in the first semester. The overall aims of these workshops are to prepare our members to stand the best chance of getting employed, no matter what field of work they are interested in.

UQMSA would like to take this opportunity to wish a special thank you to Celia, who was kinda enough to facilitate the workshop on her own personal time.

THANKS CELIA! =)

Lets have a look at some photos from the event.

Only UQMSA could fill up a room this size on a Saturday this fast! All 60 available slot were filled up within 2 days of registration opening.

As part of the workshop, there was an interactive section for members to practice answering some common interview questions they are likely to face. I don’t know how our members are going to do as potential interviewees but with stares like these they could always work as interviewers!

The Battle of the Stare-Downs.

The challengers

The two winners. Can you pick the winner between these two? We sure cant!

But it wasn’t all serious stuff. Like all UQMSA events there will always be time for socializing and making new friends! =)

Lemonade and biscuits! :D

Can you take the heat? Joel cracking under pressure!

Resume Writing Workshop

Hi members,

 

Are you graduating soon? Going to start looking for that dream job? Or maybe your just thinking about doing an internship?

 

Before you can even hope to land any of these opportunities, you're going to have to stand out from the crowd. Hundreds if not thousands of other people are going to be competing for the exact same opportunities as you are.

The best way to get your foot in the door of landing any of these opportunities is to make sure you do stand out.

 

How do you do that?

 

It all starts with your resume and CV!

To help you land that dream position you're after, UQMSA will be organizing a Resume Writing Workshop for our members!

 

You don't even have a Resume yet I hear you say? 

That's alright, then this workshop is exactly what you need to get yourself started! We'll be going over the basic of what a Resume should look like to put you on the right path.

 

How about if you already have a Resume?

Well, even if you already have one you could always polish it up a little. It'll make your case that much stronger to your potential employers. There'll be loads of hints along to way to make your's just that little bit more special!

When the world is this competitive every little helps!

 

The details of the event are still being finalized, and we'll let you know as soon as they are.

**a little hint - Its going to be in early May! (shhhhhh!! it's a secret!!!!)**

Seats are limited! And based on last years response they're going to be taken up pretty fast!

 

We might not be able to land you that dream opportunity but we sure can help improve your chances!

If you need more convincing that you DEFINATELY should be attending this workshoop, here are a couple of quotes from our members who have attended last year's Resume Writing Workshop:

- "I honestly found the workshops extremely beneficial. Celia reveals what the employers truly like to see in a resume and then unpacks    

    several techniques on how to get our resumes noticed and tossed to the top of the YES pile."

- "By attending, I've learnt that much more to land me my summer internship of choice"

Stay tuned to this channel for the latest updates!

Warmest Regards,

UQMSA Committee
