Hosted by Vic Uni it was a free event for those that pre planned. Meld has previously written about it and so have we but we wanted to give a heads up on some and exciting things that happened.
This year there are a lot more automotive courses and building courses and appreticeships for students. VACC has quite a few and Masters has also got a few.
Woolworths has a few jobs going for students at the moment. Thomas Dux is included in the Woolworths program.
Students could also work in Mcdonalds as they are always on the lookout for people.
Recruitment is now online and students are encouraged to sign up to Linkedin as well as plan their careers from the early stages of their program. They also have to think what makes them stand out from the crowd and what skills do they have that will fit the business. Students also have to think about what they can bring to the business
Rebecca Fraser a consultant also advises on writing cover letters and having a professional online profile. " More and more employers are going online" she says. And they are searching for candidates via Google. One tip she says is to "Google your name" and see what you come up with. Don't put anything online that is too negative about a business, otherwise they would not hire you.
Be positive about a business (if you can that is.). Don't use Facebook on a work computer unless the job specifically says you can.
Many people neglect a cover letter. Rebecca says that this is one of the worst mistakes that someone can make as a cover letter will tell employers that you are right for the job. It has to suit the key selection criteria in the ad.
Many thanks Victoria University for hosting this successful event.
