Answers to frequent questions
How do I prepare for the event?
1. Students shortlisted to attend a Launch Your Career event will have access to an online preparation workshop.
2. Make sure your resume is ready by getting a high score on Resume Checker and following these video interview tips.
3. Don’t forget to clean up your LinkedIn profile so you can connect with the employers after the event.
4. Do your research. Before the event, research the employers attending to find out which employers suit your interests and your industry.
5. Follow up. Ensure you follow up on opportunities. If you have a conversation that goes well, write a thank-you email to the recruiter after the engagement event, just as you would for an interview. You may consider attaching your resume to the e-mail if you feel it's appropriate and make reference to the conversation you had with the individual.
I can't attend this date, will there be another event?
If you can't make the Launch Your Career events, there will be plenty of other opportunities to network with employers throughout the year at other industry-specific events which are part of UNSW's Launch Your Career series and at other employer engagement opportunities taking place. Please check out our Employer Bites and Discovery Sessions which might be of interest to you.
I am not a UNSW student. Can I still attend?
The Launch Your Career employer engagement events are only available to UNSW current students and recent graduates.
Do I have to attend every session?
You are not required to attend every session, however the application process for Launch Your Career events is competitive, and we encourage you to take advantage of as many sessions as your schedule permits.
While each event is sector-focused, all UNSW students and recent UNSW graduates are welcome to join irrespective of academic discipline.
This engagement opportunity may not be suitable for an MBA student, please refer to the AGSM Career Development Centre for MBA-relevant opportunities.
