Find Industry Experience
Today’s employers are seeking students with experience that complement
their degree studies. Employers will use your vacation work, work experience
and Placement/Internship to help them select who they will select
for graduate
positions. As a Flinders student you can build on your degree by undertaking
some industry experience.

PR Consultant, Michels Warren
My aim was to get as much experience as I can to help me find full-time
work in the Advertising industry. The people I have met .... have become
strong contacts and friends - already! I had such a great week. Firstly,
everyone was very willing to let me come to meetings with them and sit in
on the Board meeting. I attended an annual report session about
print samples
and wrote two articles for publication in local magazines. |
Some courses offer work placements, check with academic staff in
your course,
