I have been very blessed this semester to take part in a mentoring program at uni. The corporate world is utterly foreign to me, and I have been paired with two mentors from a large, prestigious, international professional services firm.
It's been a wonderful, eye-opening experience so far. This firm has a really friendly culture and I've been impressed by how culturally diverse it is. It's been great being able to pick peoples' brains and ask them why they've chosen their current career path, how they've gotten there and where they plan to go.
Here's some advice I've received today:
1. Read Nice Girls Don't Get The Corner Office.
2. Read Resumes That Get Shortlisted.
3. Consider doing a June Dally-Watkins course.
4. Go to as many workshops from the uni's careers centre as possible.
5. Use the UNSW Career Research and Assessment Service.
6. Take MGMT2725 Career Planning and Management if you can. If you can't, do all the readings listed in the course outline.
