Your Graduate Career Networking Event

Thursday 15 March, 2012 (4pm – 7pm) Melbourne campus

Goodbye careers expo, hello networking event! The focus of this professional event is to provide you the opportunity to engage directly with students from relevant disciplines and ensure you get your message across without the distractions of a traditional Expo.

During this facilitated event, you and three other companies from the same or similar industry deliver a 10 minute presentation about your graduate opportunities. Following the sessions a networking event will take place, offering you the opportunity to engage in discussions with students.

Advantages of the networking event (compared to an Expo):

You can avoid repeating the same information to every student that passes by
Students will attend sessions directly relevant to the discipline they are studying
Students will be better informed about your program and company
Students will be offered trained in networking skills prior to the event
A separate session will be offered on international employment opportunities
The cost for running this type of event is significantly less than an Expo, so we are able to pass on those savings to you

Cost for exhibit stall and presentation $500

By sponsoring this event you can also deliver a one hour workshop during the MasterClass program to be scheduled between 5 and 14 March 2012. Topics include:

Resumes and Cover Letters
Applying for Graduate Programs/ Psychometric Testing and Assessment Centres
Addressing Key Selection Criteria
Interviews
