Getting Help

Finding IT can be difficult and it will require a lot of patience and persistence. Unfortunately it is not something that you can set aside and forget because sooner or later you will need to complete 60 working days of paid IT if you want to graduate. Our advice is for you to start sooner rather than later, click here for a discussion of when would be an ideal time.

CSE Development Office

The School via the Development Office also provides a Job search facility among numerous other services for CSE students.

UNSW Careers and Employment Unit

Before commencing, you should consider improving on your interview and resume writing skills. The Careers and Employment unit on campus provides excellent free workshops almost everyday of the week during semester. I believe students can make appointments to speak with a consultant on a one-to-one basis in order to polish that all important resume or covering letter.

I cannot emphasize to you the importance of getting that covering letter and resume perfect. Employers simply do not have the time to read volumes and if you cannot catch their attention within a few paragraphs, you simply don't stand a chance. A poorly expressed letter that contains spelling errors is unforgivable and does not make a good impression.

APESMA

This is the The Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia (APESMA) and they provide a wide range of services to help students and graduate engineers. It is an organization well worth joining and since you're a student membership is free.

Engineers Australia (IEAust)

Engineers Australia also has a wide range of services. In particular, they also provide a Careers home page that contain some useful information including a Job Search facility.
