Exclusive Student Event:
What Your Future Employer Is Looking for in New Graduates
We’re coming to the end of the academic year, and you’ll have started to think ahead to life after university. The process of applying for your first job, going to interviews and impressing potential future employers is equally exciting and daunting!
Want to know what organisations are looking for when hiring new graduates (and interns)? Then this free event is for you!
You’ll hear from a panel of senior marketers from well-known brands and agencies, who will share their experiences of hiring new graduates and interns, what will make you and your CV stand out, what you can expect when first starting in a new role, the do’s and don’ts of office culture, and how you as a graduate can best add value to their organisations.
Join us at the Marketing Association in Parnell for Pals & Pizzas, meet other students, and make the most of this amazing opportunity to ask lots of questions and learn from senior marketers.
Exclusively for students, this networking event is organised by the Marketing Association in partnership with Auckland University’s Marketing & Design Collective (MDC) and AUT’s Marketing Collective.
