Justene Knight - Tips To Obtaining Employment

Transcript - Justene Knight - Tips to obtaining employment

 

I would highly recommend any student sort of putting their hand up for any opportunities that

came along, to put themselves onto things like committees, to just try different things, because

it means that you start to communicate with a range of people.

 

It also means that you that start to explore quite diverse career paths. So the degree you may be

doing you may not end up doing the work in that specific degree but you can look, I suppose laterally,

at what opportunities are around.


So for me I now work in human resources, I have a specialty in equity and diversity. So a lot of the study

I did, the communication I had to do with a lot of people has meant that I am able to understand and to

communicate with a wide variety of people to help them to understand and to look at strategic ways. 


Also, of course, the research that you do as a student meant that the research I now do as a

professional person – it’s easy!
