Dear Aspiring University Graduate,
While your degree has taught you countless theoretical and academic skills
There's always been one BIG gap in the curriculum...
How to find AND land the right job for you.
And the results? They speak for themselves.
-
The average student sits over 20 interviews before securing their first full time role
-
Nearly 1 in 4 grads are failing to find jobs within 6 months of graduating
-
Over a third of Australians under 30 are feeling dissatisfied with their current job
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Imagine if you could land the job you actually want, instead of settling for whatever job the market gives you.
Imagine if your career was truly in your hands, not dictated by a list of skills your university failed to teach you.
Well, you don't have to imagine.
It all starts here – by choosing your own path below.
To your success,
