Employability

Wearing one of those bright white ‘Welcome’ shirts, greeting eager new students, I decided to spend my first two weeks volunteering at orientation. I had no idea what I would be getting myself into, but was honestly surprised how much I learnt about UQ through my time volunteering.

UQLife met with Student Employability's newest Career Adviser, Joachim Tan. A UQ graduate, Joachim specialises in Careers & Disability advice, and joins the Careers Service as a result of a partnership between UQ & Maxima through the national University Specialist Employment Partnerships (USEP) project.

Yonee Lee has always strived to be a leader so when an opportunity to become a UQ student representative presented itself, she jumped at the chance.
So what is the day in the life of a UQ student representative actually like?
