Employability

Join the Entrepreneurship at UQ Circle to find out how you can get involved with our 2020 Global Business Challenge.

Job searching can be tricky at the best of times, with work experience often being the most important component.

When applying for jobs, your résumé is crucial - it will be the first thing that a potential employer will ask to see and the first impression that they will attain of you as an applicant.

Everybody experiences setbacks at some point in their lives - both professionally and personally, but it is understanding how to navigate and bounce back from them. that is key.

It's important to understand the need for work/life balance in your future career, even before you are out in the workforce.

In support of National Volunteering Week we are running a specialised fireside on Volunteering in the community.

During this interactive Fireside, we shall be taking a look at personal branding when job searching.

Every month UQ Ventures we have entrepreneurship mentors available. You can book in a 30-minute session to talk to them about all things entrepreneurship. Perhaps you have an idea that you would like to discuss, or perhaps you have questions about how to get your business idea up and started.

Connect anytime between 10 am and 12 pm on Wednesday for a private chat with a member from the UQ Careers Team to discuss whatever is on your mind regarding career development. 

The current COVID-19 restrictions in place globally can act as a great enabler to embark on that professional development that you've been putting off.
