your undergrad options
Career Planning: start now with work experience! Many students delay career planning until finishing their degree: the mindset is, ‘I’ve still got a couple of years, there’s plenty of time’. However, you can greatly enhance graduate employment prospects through the range of available undergraduate work experience options. Many organisations have formal or informal programs for penultimate or final year students. Work experience can be paid or unpaid, as well as volunteer-based, and can often include on- or off-the-job training, instruction and mentoring. These programs are a great way to test out an organisation and significantly increase your chances of landing a graduate position. Opportunities for work-related experience vary depending on your discipline. Some areas such as Education or Nursing have work placements embedded in the curriculum; in areas like Accounting, Business and Law, faculties often have links with employers offering formal programs. What are my work experience options? Cadetship: an employed position offered to students or graduates, designed to provide specific training or mentoring. It can be full- or part-time and varies from a formalised, structured scheme to an informal arrangement between an individual and an organisation. Cooperative program: an industry-based learning (IBL) or work-integrated learning (WIL) program consisting of hands-on, full-time experience in the relevant industry. Participation is usually undertaken in your third or fourth year and sometimes involves academic credit. Internship: similar to a cadetship. It is a supervised work placement arranged between a combination of university, employer and student. It may range from a few weeks part-time to multiple semesters full-time and occurs in a field relevant to the student’s qualification. It may also result in academic credit. Scholarship: a financial grant provided by government, industry or private organisations. Relevant work experience with the sponsor organisation is often part of the scholarship. Vacation work: degree-related work (usually paid) often undertaken by students at the end of their second-last year of study. It can often lead to a graduate position, so competition for placements is intense. Winter vacation programs are increasingly common too.

university careers services
Most Australian and New Zealand universities have careers centres that provide information and assistance to students and recent graduates. Many students are unaware of the range of resources available from their careers service – everything from application tips and career counselling to detailed information about employers. Drop in early University careers services are there to help, so make sure you visit in the early stages of your job hunting to take advantage of the resources provided. Remember that application deadlines vary depending on the type of program you’re seeking – so plan ahead to avoid missing out on any valuable opportunities. Resources The range of services varies between universities, but most offer print and web resources, DVDs, workshops, email updates, individual assistance and on-campus employer programs or events. Employer information Careers staff are well connected to the undergraduate and graduate employment sectors and regularly assist employers with their recruitment. Staff can tell you which employers recruit applicants from your university and/or discipline, and when and how they recruit. They are also up to date with the labour market, so can tell you where to seek jobs now and advise of growth areas. Sifting through the web The internet is great for background research and general information about employers and industries, but your careers service can assist you in ways the wonderful web cannot. Staff can tailor the assistance they provide, recommending a course of action suitable to your discipline, ambitions, strengths and individual circumstances. Not sure what skills you have? Careers staff can provide you with essential job preparation advice, such as self-assessment techniques, résumé and application preparation, networking tips and interview strategies. They will also assist you to recognise the value to employers of any part-time work you have done. This applies equally to voluntary work, sporting endeavours, community involvement and clubs/societies participation. You have more skills than you may think! Know what you want but don’t know where to start? Careers staff can provide targeted information on recruitment, work experience and volunteer programs and other opportunities for graduate work. Not sure what you want to do? If you are unsure about the direction you should take, request a one-on-one session with a careers counsellor. He or she can assist you in exploring your background, skills, experiences, qualities, aspirations and the rewards you seek in a work setting.
Visit your careers service early and visit often! For the contact details of your university careers service see the extra info at the end of this publication. Whatever your situation, your uni careers services can help!

students with disability
What is ‘Disability’?
Disability is part of life for around one in five Australians, and can result from accident, illness, congenital or genetic disorders. There are many different kinds of disability – physical, intellectual or mental health related, such as depression or anxiety. A disability may be visible or hidden, permanent or temporary, and may have a minimal or substantial impact on a person’s abilities. Specifically, a disability may affect a person’s mobility, or ability to learn or communicate easily.
Definition courtesy of STEPS Disability Qld Inc. For more information visit www.steps.net.au
Disability employment assistance services: Nation-wide federal government programs such as the Disability Employment Services provide specialised assistance with areas such as job hunting, résumé writing, disability disclosure, workplace modifications, incentives to employers and on-the-job support. These services are available to eligible Australians with disability, injury or ill health aged 14-65. Further information is available through both the Dept of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and Centrelink, however you are still eligible to use Disability Employment Services if you are not receiving, or are eligible to receive, a payment from Centrelink. Australian Network on Disability internship program: The Australian Network on Disability offers a fourweek paid internship program called Stepping into... during the winter semester break (June/July) each year. Stepping into... offers positions in a range of academic disciplines and locations. Assistance with purchasing equipment or modifying the workplace: Assistance is available to pay for workplace modifications (e.g. wheelchair access, specialised computers and software) or Auslan interpreting and training services for eligible employees with disability. The federal government also provides incentives for employers to hire people with disabilities such as assisting with wages and providing options if you cannot work at full wage rates.
This page contains edited extracts from GCA’s “Careers for Graduates with Disability” by Graduate Employment Consultant, Paralympic Athlete and Motivational Speaker Marayke Jonkers.
Embarking on your job search can be both an exciting and challenging time. People with disability may find the process easier if they are able to effectively and confidently deal with issues related to disclosing disability, negotiating workplace adjustments and flexible work practices with an employer. It is also useful to have a broad knowledge of anti-discrimination legislation covering disability employment. Although people with disability make a significant contribution to the Australian workplace, studies have shown they experience a greater level of unemployment than those without disability. In addition they are more likely to be under-employed or in an area outside their desired career, be working part time or self employed. However, evidence suggests that once in employment, they are equally if not more productive, take fewer sick days and remain in the job longer than their colleagues without disability. This contradicts many negative stereotypes about disability in employment and shows that there is a strong business case for employing graduates with disability. Careers for Graduates with Disability, published by Graduate Careers Australia, is a helpful resource on issues confronting graduates with disability. If you or someone you know has a disability and is a university student, recent graduate or a person with tertiary qualifications seeking to re-enter employment then visit www.graduatecareers.com.au to download a copy or pick it up at your university careers service.

volunteering/overseas options
Volunteering is about getting involved and making a valuable contribution to your broader community. It covers any unpaid work to benefit others. Volunteers are active in almost all aspects of society, and can do everything from visiting elderly people to coaching a junior sports team. In addition to making a positive difference or giving something back to society, there is also much to be gained at a personal level. Volunteering enables you to: • gain new skills • express your talents and qualities • enhance your employability • meet people and broaden your perspective • boost your confidence and self worth • feel engaged with a cause or group. Volunteering assignments can range from casual or part-time work to intensive, short-term projects. In some cases it can lead to paid work, but it is best not to enter with this as the goal.
Employability
Want to gain volunteering experience but don’t know who for and doing what? Think about what: • activities you enjoy • skills you have/would like to develop • types of organisations you would like to work for
Exchange Programs
Potential employers know that volunteering requires commitment, motivation and energy, so they look favourably on applicants with volunteer work on their résumés. Volunteering often involves working for small organisations with limited resources – the kind of environments where initiative, leadership and a can-do attitude are critical. Volunteering of any kind develops: • your capacity to communicate with people • your ability to identify problems and find solutions • your ability to handle pressure • your ability to work independently/as part of a team • your capacity to prioritise. As with any experience, try to get a strong reference letter or a referee who can be called upon for future job applications. Overseas experience: After several years of study many students feel like a change of scenery or a break from study. The lure of adventures in distant lands drives many to pack up the essentials, strap on their backpacks and head overseas. Undertaking study, employment or volunteer work overseas (OS) is a fantastic chance to combine your professional development with overseas travel. OS experience looks great on your résumé and many programs exist to assist students in combining their studies or work experience with overseas travel.
Most universities will have a department dedicated to organising student exchange programs. These can range from short study tours of a couple of weeks to a semester or a year of study at an overseas institution. Studying overseas is a great way to challenge yourself by moving to a new country and making new friends, whilst also getting an international perspective on your degree. It’s also a terrific way to see the world and experience new cultures, and brush up on those foreign language skills.
Gap Years
A ‘gap year’ refers to a year-long break – before, during or after university – usually to travel, work overseas or undertake volunteer work. Taking a break during your degree can be a great chance to re-energise before getting into the business end of your degree, and can also be valuable for personal growth and employability. Employers recognise the added value of staff who have seen a bit of the world. Planning and undertaking a trip is evidence of a range or personal qualities valued in the workplace, including independence, determination and curiosity.

job search FAQs
No.1 applying
When should I apply for work experience programs such as vacation work or internships?
You should apply for work experience in your penultimate (second-last) and final year of study. Depending on the length of your degree the ideal time to apply will vary, but it is essential that you look for work experience, as this can be vital to building your skills and help you make informed career decisions.
No.3 résumé/CVs
How should I layout my résumé?
A concise résumé is not really about the number of pages. Rather, it is about how you present the information. Use short descriptive phrases in bullet point format. Avoid lengthy sentences and paragraphs that tend to clutter the key information with a lot of padding. It’s important that you, the applicant, market your skills as best you can, showing determination, commitment and honesty throughout the process.
No.2strategies job search
and networking
Where can I look for work experience opportunities if I’m not accepted into a formal vacation program?
The majority of vacation programs currently available represent larger organisations – ‘the big end of town’ – and not the whole market. There are other avenues you should consider to find work experience: • Visit your faculty and see if it has any industry-based learning (IBL) programs in which you can take part. • Visit your university careers services; many have online sites for employers to post vacation positions. • Join professional associations in your field; this will allow you to network with professionals who currently work in your field and gain advice on how to get a foot in the door! Some professional associations also have student sections that list work experience opportunities. • Research businesses in your field that you would like to working with. Contact them directly and explain what you have learnt about them and why you would like to gain experience with them.
Some headings that you should include in your résumé:
• Objective • Demonstrated skills • Education (reverse chronological order, including your grades) • Employment history • Extracurricular/Community/Volunteering experience (tailor this to suit your experience) • Computer skills • Language skills • Referees • Interests Prior to sending out your résumé ensure that it reads well, looks good and then have your university careers service review it for you.
How do I make my CV stand out if I have very similar experience to others that are applying?
Employers use a résumé to make a hiring decision; they look at your past to predict your future. Get involved in student associations, work a part-time job, volunteer, and play sports or undertake other activities to provide an employer with a good range of information to make a decision. Employers are interested in any training or other courses you have undertaken, so list those that are

relevant or have provided you with additional skills. As a younger student with limited work experience don’t be afraid to list courses such as team building, umpiring, coaching and first aid, etc. These demonstrate that you are fully open to up-skilling. In presenting your employment experiences, extracurricular activities and academic studies, make sure to provide insight into how you have worked and therefore what you can do for the company. Employers aren’t just looking at how you fit the job and skills they have advertised, but also how well you will fit into their team and organisational culture. You also need to do your research on the organisation, their culture and achievements and then communicate your skills and experience as best as you can to match this. These questions allow you to market yourself and the skills you possess that make you right for the job. They also provide an opportunity to mention past achievements and demonstrate your motivation and ambition. Behavioural-based interview (BBI) questions are becoming more common. This line of questioning assumes that future behaviour is most accurately predicted by past behaviour, and employers assess this through questions that probe for specific skills: • Describe a difficult situation in which you had to think quickly to resolve the issue. • Describe a time when you had an unhappy customer/ client who proved difficult to satisfy. How did you handle the situation, and what was the result? • Describe a time you worked in a team environment. How did you contribute? What did you learn? To respond to a BBI question, use the STAR technique: Situation: a specific scenario you were in. Task: your role and project you were required to complete. Action: what you did to complete this task. Result: the outcome of your action and what you learnt.
No.4 the interview
How do I market my skills in the best way?
You need to market both your technical AND personal skills. You can market technical skills through your educational history, academic transcripts, awards and achievements. In the interview discuss skills that you have learned throughout your university life. You also need to talk about your personal or ‘transferable’ skills such as communication, problem solving, teamwork etc. Try to think of some experiences where you have developed and used these skills.
No.5 referees
Should referees be managers and supervisors only?
It is not mandatory to have a manager/supervisor as your referee, however if the colleague is not a manager/ supervisor they should be a senior team member. A referee must be able to speak highly of you, have an in-depth understanding of the tasks you undertook in your position, and know how well you completed tasks and achieved goals. If you chose a colleague to be your referee explain why you have done so; they trained you, worked with you more often, and also knew your work style more in-depth than your manager. Chose your referees wisely – they are crucial to the interview and selection process. Always ensure that your referees know they have been listed on your CV.
These FAQs have been adapted from online chat sessions conducted as part of GCA’s 2010 Virtual Careers Fair, and have been co-edited by Bond University’s Employment Services Manager, Kirsty Mitchell.
What sort of questions can I expect to be asked at an interview?
Your interviewers will ask some generic questions that will allow them to learn about you and your reasons for applying for the position: • Why should we employ you? • What are your strengths and weaknesses? • Where do you see yourself in five years? • What do you consider to be your greatest achievement?

undergraduate profiles
What did you enjoy most about the experience?
The various industry events, especially the MTV Awards. Being a part of a team that is world renowned for being uniquely different. There was never a dull moment in the office!
How did your internship at MTV assist you in gaining your current job with the Clemenger Group?
My experience with MTV gave me invaluable real world knowledge. Along with industry contacts and a reputable brand for the résumé, it also enhanced my self confidence. It showed that I had a strong interest in the communications industry and the credentials to back it up first hand.
Brock Rodwell, Bachelor of Communication (Business) majoring in Marketing & Public Relations, Bond University.
While completing his undergraduate degree on the Gold Coast in 2008, Brock undertook an internship within the Marketing Department of MTV Australia. After completing his degree Brock made the move to Sydney, where he is currently working as an account coordinator in the Clemenger Group Graduate 2010 Program.
How did you adapt to the move from the Gold Coast to Sydney?
The GC is great and it really is anyone’s ideal residence, but career-wise it made sense to head for Sydney unless I intended to be a fulltime tourist or retiree. Having an established group of contacts down in Sydney prior and knowing that you’re there to work has made the change a smooth one, both socially and financially.
How did you become an intern at MTV Australia?
Through my university, the uni had a set list of participating companies, but I decided to attempt a list of my own. My Business Development Manager helped me liaise a lot. I put my portfolio together, and from there it was a process of working in with my uni timetable and making the move to Sydney.
my experience...
Media and advertising are very difficult fields to break into. What advice do you have for students thinking about a career in these industries?
Don’t doubt yourself, persist and network where possible. It sounds clichéd, but everyone else is in the same position as you and just as anxious/eager. I must have hit the APPLY button at least 50 times before landing something. In the end I took the time, dedicated myself to a particular application and got the reward.
What were your responsibilities within the MTV Marketing Department?
They varied from day to day; one day you would be at a press conference with Mischa Barton, the next decked out in overalls painting a prop set for a live band. In the office, handling competition entrees, presentation pitches, general admin support and the list goes on!

Caryn Chan, Bachelor of Commerce, The University of Melbourne.
Caryn’s two undergraduate programs with Pitcher Partners and Deloitte gave her the opportunity to put theory into practice in a real world environment. She has recently accepted a graduate position with Deloitte.
How did you come across your vacation placements?
In 2008 I was placed at Pitcher Partners as part of the Chartered Accountants Achiever Work Experience Program. I spent four weeks with one of their Business Advisory & Assurance teams. The following year I applied and was accepted into the Deloitte Summer Vacation Program which I’d heard about through university campus visits from Deloitte representatives.
Did your work experience help you in securing a full-time position?
Working at Deloitte in my penultimate year definitely helped me secure a full-time position. The practical and soft skills that we learnt really encouraged you to be your best and allowed you to show your potential, which goes a long way when trying to secure a graduate position.
How did the experience fit with your degree?
I’m studying a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Accounting and Finance, therefore both placements added value to my learning experience. I gained an insight into management accounting at Pitchers, and audit (consumer business) at Deloitte. The work experience at both firms gave me the opportunity to put theory into practice in a real world environment.
What is the most valuable thing you have taken away from your work experience?
Work experience provided me with confidence and skills to work in a professional environment. University provided me with knowledge and theory, but it was only until I was actually exposed to a commercial environment alongside team members and a wide range of clientele that I realised how valuable work experience is.
What did you enjoy most about your experiences?
Networking and getting firsthand experience in an accounting firm were highlights of vacation work for me. I definitely found it valuable to work alongside graduates, managers and directors as each gave me a different perspective of operating in a professional services firm. This allowed me to align my goals and plan my career.

undergraduate profiles
Postgrad certainly helps because it makes you seem smarter, focused and garners higher respect than an undergrad. Most importantly, it builds a stronger foundation in a chosen area, making you highly employment worthy.
How have your internship experiences benefited you?
Internships gave me a feel of the agency life and structure. Four internships in three different departments helped me understand the practical workings of an ad agency. The knowledge I gained also helped me with my university assignments; good grades followed. I made industry friends and our professional relationship continues.
Praveen Vaidyanathan, Master of Communication (Advertising) & Master of Commerce, RMIT University.
Praveen completed four internships with multinational advertising agencies; two in India during his undergraduate degree and two in Australia whilst undertaking masters. He is currently working as a Junior Planner at George Patterson Y&R, Melbourne.
Did your work experience help you in securing a full-time position?
The ad industry is a competitive one, especially with the first job. I did my homework by accumulating internship experience whenever I could, all through my university life. While I didn’t get paid, I managed to get commendation letters at the end of each of my stints. These letters added up to give me 15 months of work experience, coupled with double masters. Result - two interviews, one secured.
Describe some of the internships you have undertaken.
As a creative intern in my first two internships in India I was assisting in the art direction and conceptualisation of ads. As an account management and strategic planning intern in my latter two internships in Australia, I was assisting in the branding and strategic development of ad campaigns.
my experience...
What advice would you give to other students trying to get into advertising?
Do uni. Make friends. Join clubs. Head up a few. Participate in debates, art, drama and whatever else. Get a decent score. Secure internships. Don’t ask for money. Work long hours. Impress your boss. Make good coffee. Shed your ego. Be proactive. Work hard. Girlfriend can wait. Portfolio + the not so common CV launch (using creative submission techniques, such as a package).
Why did you move to Melbourne to do your postgrad, and did this degree help you secure your current job?
Doing postgrad abroad meant international exposure. Keen on doing advertising masters, the US and UK were out because the former wouldn’t aid non-science students and the latter didn’t have a degree for my specifics. RMIT in Australia had exactly what I wanted.

Taki Dermedgoglou, Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, University of Western Australia.
Taki’s career plan got a little clearer after undertaking a three-month full-time vacation program with Rio Tinto Iron Ore working at Hope Downs Mine on a 9-days-on, 5-days-off ’fly-in/fly-out’ (FIFO)roster.
How has your undergraduate work experience contributed to what you are doing now?
I haven’t finished university yet, but the vacation work has definitely influenced where I want to work and what sort of companies I have applied to for graduate work. I liked working in the resource industry and I didn’t mind the FIFO roster either, so I am aiming for that sort of job in the short term.
What was the most difficult thing to adapt to during your full-time work?
In all honesty I never really found anything too difficult. The work was certainly challenging, but not difficult and the long shifts weren’t as bad as they sound either. The early mornings were a bit of a struggle sometimes, until my morning coffee!
What were your responsibilities at Rio Tinto during your vacation work?
I worked in the Engineering and Infrastructure Department at Hope Downs mine site, and was given a range of projects to work on. The larger projects involved designing maintenance platforms and stands, and I also worked on a lifting lug weld tester.
Have these experiences shaped your career plan?
Definitely! I now know that I enjoy the FIFO lifestyle and I am hoping to find work on a remote site when I graduate this year. After that I’m not really sure where I want my career to go. I think I need more experience before making a long-term career plan.
I found the prospect of working on a mine site very attractive. I was able to see things in person and get some hands-on experience. I was also interested in working on a remote site. It’s not for everyone, but I really enjoyed myself.
How do you feel this experience has benefited you?
I think it is difficult to quantify how much this experience has benefited me. The knowledge gained is the most obvious benefit, but I think the experience had a positive influence on my maturity and confidence too.

What appealed to you most about the program?
undergraduate profiles
I worked at ABB’s Corporate Research Centre located in Baden-Dättwil, Switzerland, with the Polymer and Insulation Technologies group. I investigated polymeric materials for the use in electrical insulation.
What is the benefit of the internship to your studies and professional development?
All of the research and lab work I completed during my internship contributed to my engineering honours thesis. The internship gave me a better understanding of professional engineering practice including how to reflect on problems encountered, and how to influence the project outcomes. Practical experience requirements for Engineers Australia accreditation were also fulfilled.
Tamara Perry, Bachelor of Engineering (Hons)/Bachelor of Science, Australian National University.
Tamara combined her work experience with international travel when she undertook a six-month internship with Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) in Switzerland.
What are your plans after graduation?
I have applied for many graduate positions towards the end of my degree. I have been able to draw on the experience and knowledge gained during my internship in all of my applications, and I believe the industry experience with a global company has put me above other applicants.
Why did you chose a combined BE/BSc program?
I became interested in engineering through my interest in maths and science. I enjoy the challenge of analysing and solving problems, particularly where I can see “real world” applications. I am aiming towards completing two engineering majors – Materials & Mechanical Systems and Manufacturing Systems – as well as completing a science major in Chemistry.
my experience...
Finish this sentence: “My internship experience gave me...”
…invaluable industry experience and an amazing opportunity to travel. I met so many great people, and made some strong friendships with other interns. It was a real eye-opening experience to work in a completely different culture in a business environment. The internship has also really helped to push me above other applicants as I apply for graduate positions now.
How did you come across your internship opportunity?
I was able to apply for this internship through Dr Paul Compston (ANU Associate Head, Engineering), and I was accepted because of my academic performance and interest in materials science and chemistry. I am the third ANU Engineering intern to go to ABB for a sixmonth internship in as many years.

Kate Cuddihy, Master of International Hotel & Tourism Management (Event Management), The University of Queensland.
Kate got her event management career on track by undertaking an Events Assistant Internship with the Faculty of Business, Economics and Law at The University of Queensland.
How did you become involved in your undergrad program?
The Faculty of Business, Economics and Law within The University of Queensland has a dedicated Employment Services team. Through the Employment Services Team I found an Events Assistant Internship which was being offered through their internship program. After applying for the internship opportunity I was then asked to attend an interview, where I successfully obtained the position. and a greater understanding into working in a professional team environment.
How has this experience shaped your career plan?
I am now certain that being an event manager and working within the profession is what I would like to do as a career. Prior to applying for this position I was unsure that being an event manager was what I wanted to do as a career, but through the positive learning experiences of my internship I am now certain that I am on the right career path.
What were your responsibilities during your work placement?
My responsibilities during my internship included assisting in the coordination of faculty and university-wide events. I helped develop event proposals and briefing documentation, assisted in the planning and setting up of Faculty-based events and collating information for event evaluations and reviews. I was also able to learn how to use a number of desktop publishing and events software allowing me to help the External Relations team with marketing and communication material.
How do you feel this experience has benefited you?
By completing the internship I was able to experience what being an event manager is really like. Through the hands-on experiences and guidance from the faculty staff I was able to use what I had learnt in my degree and use it in real life situations. I have become much more aware of the importance the External Relations and Events teams have within the university,
Without a doubt completing the Employment Services Internship Program was the most rewarding experience of my degree and in my career development. Through talking with fellow colleagues and industry representatives, students wanting to gain entry level into the event management field really should have some kind of work experience, as this is highly regarded by employers. By completing the internship program I was able to see how intricate and detailed planning an event is, something I had no idea about when I was completing my degree.

What did you enjoy most about the experience?
Right from day one I was thrown in the deep end which was a fantastic way to learn. I was given real work to do and most people in the organisation thought I was a regular employee and part of the team. Being treated like a valued part of the team really allowed me to develop my skills and get as much out of the experience as possible.
Although your IBL job placement was not directly linked to your degree, how has benefited you?
Daniel Atkin, Bachelor of Business (Major in Economics and Minor in Business Law), Swinburne University of Technology.
Daniel undertook a 12-month industry-based learning (IBL) placement at CGU Insurance during his undergraduate degree. He is currently employed by the federal government in the Department of Finance and Deregulation Graduate Program.
The professional skills that I learnt have been invaluable. Gaining experience leading meetings with clients and people from other business areas of the organisation, often many years my senior, has increased my confidence dramatically. These skills helped me greatly when applying for graduate positions and nearly all my potential employers wanted to hear about my IBL placement.
What appealed to you most about the CGU program?
The team I worked was not focused on finance- or economics-related work however it was a highly analytical job that also required strong people, professional and project management skills. The opportunity to develop these skills, which are useful in any workplace, was highly appealing to me.
What advice would you give to other students considering work experience options?
I would recommend to any student to build up as much experience as you can while you are at uni. My placement at CGU improved the quality of my university work, helped me secure a graduate job and helped me develop a professional network of contacts I am still in touch with.

professional associations
Professional associations are often involved in research, policy and strategic development for the industry as a whole. They also regulate and guide the practice of professionals and may require certain standards of training and ethics for membership.
Professional associations and industry bodies have a range of purposes and functions. They further the interests of the particular professional group or industry by serving as a centralised ‘voice’ or advocate that communicates with government, other sectors and the public at large on behalf of members. They are often involved in research, policy and strategic development for the industry as a whole. They also regulate and guide the practice of professionals and may require certain standards of training and ethics for membership. Professional organisations and industry bodies can also be involved in advising educational institutes on curriculum development, boosting the public profile of the profession and providing industryrelated information resources. Most professional organisations also provide ongoing professional development and training activities for members. These activities will be either specifically related to the discipline concerned or may be of a more generic nature. Professional organisations and industry bodies may take a number of different forms. Some may simply provide services to members for a fee. Others may oversee professional certification that indicates a member’s qualifications in an area. In other fields, membership of a particular professional body may be a legal requirement to be able to practice the profession. Browse the following pages for a list of professional associations across a range of Australian industries.
