2007 International Careers Expo - 21 to 23 August
Hundreds of opportunities for returning-home international students
and
Australian domestic students seeking a global career start.
Monash University Employment and Career Development will host the second annual International
Careers Expo at the Caulfield
campus from Tuesday 21 to Thursday 23 August, exclusively for Monash
University students and recent graduates. Entry is free.
This year twelve major international organisations will take
part, primarily to recruit students and recent graduates for
employment across the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, Europe, the UK
and USA.
Initially, delegates from all
participating organisations will attend the main Expo event to
showcase their organisations and speak with students regarding internship,
graduate entry programs and career paths across a wide range of disciplines:
- Tuesday 21 August, 12.00noon to 3.00pm
Exhibition Space H1.16 (Ground level, Building H, Caulfield Campus)
Delegates from seven organisations will also deliver a series
of information sessions commencing Tuesday 21 August and concluding the following day.
Guest speakers will
present
details
of their own career experiences, along with insight into their organisations’ recruitment
processes, opportunities, work cultures and lifestyles in different
countries around the world.
For students who’ve already applied for opportunities with
participating employers, or those that make an outstanding impression
at the event, there may be an opportunity to attend campus
interviews with visiting delegates on either Wednesday 22 or Thursday
23 August, so have your resumes ready and practise your interview skills
now. At the 2006 Expo, some lucky candidates received employment offers
immediately upon interviewing with participating employers. What better
way to head off overseas than with a great job waiting when you get
there!
Making the most of this event
Registration is not required to attend the main Expo event on 21
August, however attendees may receive specific advice regarding available
opportunities, follow-up information sessions or campus interviews,
so it is a day
not to be
missed!
For the best chance of securing interviews during the Expo with your
employers of choice:
- Research your eligibility for opportunities with participating
organisations
- Perfect your resume, compile one if you don’t already
have one (and apply in advance if necessary to obtain an interview
appointment)
- Practise your introduction and interview skills
- Attend the main Expo event on 21 August to speak with visiting
delegates
- Attend follow-up information
sessions on 21 and/or 22 August
- Be ready to attend campus
interviews on 22 and/or 23 August should the opportunity arise
Smart casual attire is appropriate for the main Expo event and information
sessions, however formal business attire should be worn if an employer
invites you to attend an interview.
Monash University Employment and Career Development can help you prepare
We offer free job seeker seminars to
guide you on resumes, applications and interview skills and a
special seminar will take place at the Caulfield campus on 16 August to
help students looking for overseas work make the most of the Expo. Register online here for
any seminars you plan to attend.
We also offer practical resume
checking and interview
practice sessions (by appointment) for those about to apply,
or potentially interview for particular opportunities.
Finally, some employers are already advertising their vacancies on Career Gateway so, while you should definitely attend the Expo for the
advantage of speaking with employers face-to-face, don't forget to
check out their vacancies online too, to give yourself a head start.
