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!

Jom Watch AFL

Salam Sejahtera and Hi everyone ! 

Hope things have been awesome, and that the mid-semester exams are all out of the way already :) If you've been missing our past events,  no need to fret anymore as our next big excursion is now here! UQMSA will be organizing Jom Watch AFL ! , in which we will all be watching and cheering the Brisbane Lions at The Gabba  :D


A bit about Aussie Footy

Australian Rules Football, or Aussie Footy for short, is the one of the most popular sports in this sports-obsessed nation which is Australia. The game itself is a unique blend of soccer, Gaelic football, and rugby, and is considered as one of the unique icons of Australian culture. 

And like surfing in the Gold Coast, or patting a koala at Lone Pine, experiencing a live Footy match is something that should not be missed by anyone in Australia!

Okay, enough with exciting you, details of the event are below :)
