Made a lot of progress with kpmg because of foundations program. Haven't been rejected from the others. I'm applying for about 8 firms but there's only a couple I'm interested in.
Thankyou! Yeah there's one I want to work out but they dont even have a vacation program so hoping a networking at an event will work
Slow start with studying since I'm still in holiday mode but trying to get into it!
I feel you. Forgot a lot of basic stuff lol. Trying to get the cobwebs out.
Probably cutting/condensing certain courses to lessen costs associated with running units. Budgets are getting cut around the University.
Ouch. Glad I'm overloading and hopefully graduating at the end of this year. As much as I love Macquarie University (kind students, nice campus, passionate staff, good atmosphere)- I don't see myself doing postgraduate here. There's some really bright people in the English department, and it will sadden me if any of their work is in jeopardy. I'm currently considering doing a MRes or a Ph.D. in Literature and I've noticed less scholarships and grants being available.
Did a virtual internship last year with an NGO. Granted, it was content writing but I managed to put the skills I learned on my resume and created a portfolio. Will apply to more content writing positions that are paid at the end of the year. No clue what its like for business or law- two professions that can be prone to an 'old school' mentality.
Any GPA/ WAM requirements? Market pay? Or higher?
- WAM/GPA ideally credit average above, however is not a deal breaker if the communication skills are there
The Mres (Arts) isn't approved by the AQF- but apparently the second year is part of the Research Training Program.
If you can get a certain GPA then you can get your first year paid for if I remember correctly.
