Top 20 Malaysian Companies

Hi everyone!

Last week, a few of us on the committee met up with Nicole Andronicus, the UQ International Employment Services Manager for the Faculty of Business, Economics & Law. She told us that roughly three years ago, Malaysian students under the BEL Faculty compiled a list of the top 20 companies that we would like to work for upon graduation. We think that it would be highly beneficial to re-compile this list as there might have been a change in the list over these few years and she will be able to initiate and maintain contact with these companies, especially any new ones, on our behalf. Therefore, we would like to request that students under the BEL Faculty leave a comment with a list of companies that you would like to work for upon graduation or reply our e-mail on this issue.

(Currently, the committee is trying to establish if we can possibly seek the guidance of other faculties with regards to future employment)

Also, Nicole stressed the importance of signing up to the UQ Career Hub ( http://careerhub.uq.edu.au), the university's free online employment service where UQ students and graduates can search for:

• All types of degree-related employment opportunities
• Upcoming career and employment events/workshops
• Online career resources and planning

Don't forget to sign up for it. Hope to hear from you about your list of top 20 companies you would like to work for in the future.
