Earlier this month our Dean of Business, Dr Henry Lim, went along to the IPA WA Student Symposium at the QV1 Conference Centre. It was an evening of talks from recruiters and people working in the industry, plus plenty of networking opportunities.
A couple of the speakers had some great advice for students:
Nadine from Beckway spoke about job hunting from a recruiter's perspective and the importance of having a good LinkedIn profile. Sometimes, including your hobbies or customer service jobs can be what gets you the job.
Bianca Coventry told her story of going from being a receptionist to studying accounting at TAFE and then university, all while raising two kids. She now runs her own tax practice with a team of staff.
Our Dean of Business, Dr Henry Lim, encourages our Business students to start early. He recommends not waiting until graduation to work on your CV or gain work experience in your field.
That's why we're so pleased to see our student, Tawanda, being proactive in attending industry events, connecting with professionals and gaining valuable industry insights.
Thank you to the Institute of Public Accountants for having us! Such a valuable opportunity to bring students, education providers and industry professionals together!
