Carrie Wu

Academic Program:
Master of Accounting and Marketing, 2018

Employment:
Securities affairs representative, Suzhou Endowa Co., Ltd

Advice for current students:
“1. To find a job in Australia, we need to be persistent and serious. Our communication skills are not as good as the local people, so we need to be more diligent and persistent in order to get relative interview opportunities.
2. Take part in more extracurricular competitions. For example, when I participated in UBS competition, students with good ranking can go directly to UBS headquarters in Sydney for internship. With very beautiful internship experience, good job opportunities will come. Whether in foreign countries or at home, it is essential to obtain social experience as much as possible.
3. Attend more interview training and strive for more interview opportunities. Failure is not terrible. What's terrible is that a good opportunity is in front of you, but you perform poorly. When you attend more interviews, you will naturally find the interview rules and form your own style. Only by making a good impression on the interviewer can��be one step ahead of others.”

Advice for current students:
“The most important step for an international student studying overseas is not to make a decision of whether to work in Australia or in China or anywhere in the world, but to start to plan and prepare early for future career. Be attentive to opportunities and resources available to you and make the most use of them. Network only becomes crucial if you can already demonstrate the desired qualities of a valuable employer. Until then I would encourage to invest more time in yourself to gain more exposure of different environments, advance continuous learning and always reflect on the progress.”

Raymond Zeng

Academic Program:
Master of Wine Business, 2017��

Employment:
Export Manager, Bec Hardy Wines

Advice for current students:
“1. Never escaping away by saying I am not ready for what I want (job or goal), you can always be getting prepared and improved by starting that specific work or at least something similar. ‘Not ready’ is just an excuse for you to step away.��
2. For Chinese students, no matter what discipline you are doing, they all require practical skills and good understanding of the specific industry. I would sincerely suggest that all students should go out and approach the real world not only studying at Uni. Visiting companies, talking to the staff, attending industry event, you will learn a lot while enjoying it! ��Further, speaking English has always being reluctant and not confident for most of international students, as per the advice��above, never say ‘my English is not good enough yet to find a job’ because the only way to improve is to work with and talk to local people. Spending your spare time to write and send your CV to find a job in industry or even just some table service would significantly improve your English in all aspects (which I did in a bar & café in 2015-2016).
3. Be brave, be confident, stay uncomfortable, you will find nothing is that difficult.”

From a proper resume to some interview skills, I learned a lot to keep myself on the right track when I was looking for my first job.

The second advice is to develop your transversal skills as much as your professional knowledge. As international students with totally different cultural background and language, sometimes we have to pay more attention to communicating with others. So I believe good communication skills, open mind, positive attitude etc. will also make a big help."

Zhengyu Wen

Academic Program:

Employment:
Molecular Biologist, International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT)

Advice for current students:
“I strongly recommend Chinese students to participate in social activities in Australia. I’m talking about multinational or Australian events where everyone speaks English. The reason for that is, basing on experience of my own and people around me, there is still a huge language barrier between most of the Chinese students and English-speaking communities. Chinese community is very big in Australia, big enough to be self-sustaining, which means you can live or study in Australia even without a good English skill. But when you graduate, when you place yourself on the "waiting for employments" shelf -- a good communication skill, which enables you to impress your future employer within a few minutes, could be as critical as -- or even more important -- than your GPA.”

Instead, take the time to work on some side projects or open source projects, your work will get paid off.”
