[Melbourne] Resume & Career Talk with Q&A

Fri, Oct 2, 7:20 AM

From AI Circle - JR Academy

4.3

下面是这版官网文案的完整英文翻译，已保留原有结构，并加入“活动语言为中文”的说明。 *** **📄 Sent out plenty of applications but still waiting for an interview? Bring your resume and your questions, and let’s talk about your next steps—from job applications to life at work.** This session is open to people from all academic backgrounds and career fields. Whether you’re applying for roles in IT, data, marketing, accounting and finance, HR, operations, project management, or another area, you’re welcome to join us. We’ll review selected resumes submitted by attendees, exploring career direction, how to present experience, alignment with target roles, and resume structure. Through live editing examples, we’ll demonstrate practical ways to improve your resume. We’ll also discuss job search preparation, choosing roles, interview communication, and adjusting to the workplace. Join Lightman and University of Melbourne alumnus Ethan Wang on 2 October at the University of Melbourne. Together, we’ll connect the experience on your resume with the realities of job hunting and working life—and explore how you can prepare for what comes next. **🔍 01 \| From Your Resume to the Workplace: What’s on Your Mind?** Job search challenges can stem from how you present your experience, but also from your career direction, preparation priorities, and understanding of the roles you’re applying for. If you’re looking for work, considering a career change, or starting your first job, you may have asked yourself: * I’ve applied for plenty of roles but rarely hear back. What should I check first? * I’m interested in several types of roles. How do I narrow my focus and tailor my resume? * I have academic, work, and project experience. How do I communicate my strengths clearly? * Without an internship or local work experience, what else can I use to demonstrate my abilities? * In an interview, how do I move beyond “I was involved” and explain my individual contribution? * If I’m changing careers or exploring new opportunities, how can I identify my transferable experience? * How do I understand workplace expectations and adapt to team communication and collaboration? * Which skills should I prioritise developing to address gaps in my job search or work? Through real resume examples, guest experiences, and audience questions, we’ll help you clarify your thinking and identify practical next steps. **📝 02 \| What Will We Cover?** The session will explore eight areas through examples, live edits, and open discussion: 1. **Career Direction and Choosing Roles** How can you identify suitable career paths based on your background and experience? When considering different roles, how can you assess your strengths and the skills you need to develop? 2. **Your Professional Summary** How can you clearly introduce your background, relevant skills, and career direction? We’ll discuss how to avoid vague statements and help recruiters quickly understand what you bring. 3. **Work and Project Experience** How can you explain what you did, what you were responsible for, and what you achieved? How should you present university projects, part-time work, and student club experience? 4. **Tailoring Your Resume to the Role** How can you use a job description to select relevant experience, organise your content, and naturally incorporate the skills and keywords that matter to the role? 5. **Communicating Results and Live Editing Examples** How can you demonstrate your contribution using accurate figures, project scope, efficiency improvements, or practical impact? We’ll rewrite selected resume content live to show the difference between the original and revised versions. 6. **Job Search Preparation and Interview Communication** Beyond your resume, what preparation deserves your time? How can you use specific examples in interviews to explain your actions, reasoning, and contributions? 7. **Adjusting to the Workplace and Professional Growth** What changes should you expect when moving from university into work? How can you understand expectations, communicate and collaborate effectively, and build skills that support your future development? 8. **Open Discussion and Q&A** Bring specific questions about resumes, job hunting, changing careers, or workplace challenges. Exchange ideas with our guests and learn from different perspectives and real experiences. **🎯 03 \| Who Can Attend?** **This event is open to all industries, disciplines, and career paths. No previous internship or full-time work experience is required.** We welcome job seekers exploring the following areas, as well as anyone who would like to discuss workplace questions: * **Technology & Data:** Software Development, AI, Data Analytics, Data Engineering, DevOps, Cybersecurity, and more * **Marketing & Creative:** Marketing, Digital Marketing, Social Media, Branding, Content, UI/UX, Graphic Design, and more * **Business & Finance:** Accounting, Finance, Audit, Business Analysis, Consulting, and more * **Corporate Functions & Management:** HR, Recruitment, Administration, Operations, Supply Chain, Product Management, Project Management, and more * **Sales & Service:** Sales, Business Development, Account Management, Customer Service, Retail, Hospitality, and more * **Internships & Graduate Opportunities:** Internships, Graduate Programs, and roles across other specialist and general career paths Whether you’re a current student, a recent graduate, a career changer, or an experienced professional looking for your next opportunity, bring your resume and your questions. **🎤 04 \| Meet the Guests: From Job Search Preparation to Working Life** **Lightman \| Employer Expectations & Job Search Preparation** Lightman will explore the connection between what employers need and how candidates can prepare. What capabilities do employers look for? Which experiences demonstrate your strengths? How can you explain your individual contribution, and what should you prioritise developing next? Bring your questions about choosing roles, building skills, and preparing for your job search, and share your own thoughts and challenges. **Ethan Wang \| University of Melbourne Alumnus · AI Engineer** Now working as an AI Engineer, University of Melbourne alumnus Ethan Wang will share his own job search journey, including the preparation, decisions, and lessons that shaped his transition from university to the workplace. Which experiences helped him during his job search? How did he explain his work in applications and interviews? What new insights did he gain after starting work? If he were starting again, what would he prepare earlier? Join the conversation, hear about his experiences, and find ideas that may help you plan your own next steps. **💡 05 \| What Can You Take Away?** Through real examples, live edits, guest insights, and Q&A, you’ll have the opportunity to better understand: * What recruiters typically look for when reading a resume * How to tailor your resume’s content and emphasis to a target role * How to describe responsibilities, university projects, and practical experience in terms of your individual contribution * How to communicate your experience and skills more clearly in interviews * Where to begin when changing careers or applying with limited experience * What to consider as you adjust to working life and develop professionally * What you could prioritise revising, developing, or exploring at your current stage We hope you’ll leave with a clearer sense of the questions that matter to you—and some practical ideas you can start acting on. **📍 06 \| Event Details & Registration** * **Date & Time:** Friday, 2 October 2026, 5:00–7:20 pm, Melbourne local time (AEST) * **Check-in:** 5:00–5:20 pm; the session begins at 5:20 pm * **Location:** University of Melbourne · PAR-110-L1-1022-Lectorial Learning Space(70) * **Format:** In-person session featuring resume reviews, live editing examples, guest talks, career discussions, and Q&A * **Cost:** Free, with 80 places available * **Also Included:** Pizza and time to chat and connect 🍕 * **Registration Deadline:** 5:20 pm on 2 October, Melbourne local time **We recommend bringing a resume, a job description for a role you’re interested in, and one job search or workplace question you’d most like to discuss.** You’re welcome to submit your resume for consideration.

Harbour After Dark

Fri, Oct 2, 8:30 AM

From Sydney's Social Connections

4.6

## **Harbour After Dark 🌆** Where meaningful conversations, genuine connection, and new friendships begin. Step into a different kind of Friday night. **🎟️ Reserve your ticket here:** https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/harbour-after-dark-tickets-1999754264838?aff=oddtdtcreator Harbour After Dark brings together professionals, business owners and people who are intentional about creating a full and meaningful life. It is for those who value genuine conversation, authentic connection and spending time with others who are also looking to build enriching relationships and a strong sense of community. In a world of Zoom calls, remote work, endless scrolling and busy schedules, many of us are craving something more human. A chance to step away from the screens. To unwind after the week. To meet new people naturally. To enjoy conversations that feel easy, genuine and energising. As life becomes busier, it is easy to realise that while we know plenty of people, we do not always have a community where we can simply show up, relax and enjoy being ourselves. Harbour After Dark was created to be that place. A place where familiar faces become friends, new conversations happen naturally and connection grows over time. Over the past few years, Harbour After Dark has grown into a well-established monthly gathering where people come to expand their social circles, reconnect with familiar faces and meet new people in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Many of our guests have been attending for years and often bring friends along, while new faces join every month, making it easy to feel welcome whether it is your first event or your tenth. Whether you come on your own or with a friend, you will be welcomed into a relaxed and friendly environment where meaningful conversations happen naturally. There is no pressure to network or impress anyone. Just an opportunity to enjoy the company of good people and finish the week surrounded by genuine connection. ### Event Details 📅 Friday 2 October 🕡 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm 📍 Pumphouse Sydney 17 Little Pier Street, Darling Harbour NSW 2000 ### Dress Code We encourage you to make an effort and dress with confidence. Think stylish, polished and relaxed rather than formal. ### Food and Drinks A selection of shared platters will be provided throughout the evening and is included in your ticket. Additional food and beverages, including cocktails, wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks, will be available to purchase from the bar. ### Our Community Harbour After Dark has never been about hosting just another social event. It was created to build a community where people feel welcome, conversations happen naturally and genuine friendships have the opportunity to grow. Kindness, respect and inclusiveness are at the heart of every event, and we ask all guests to contribute to the warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes Harbour After Dark so special. Photography and videography may take place during the evening for use across our website, social media and promotional material. By attending, you acknowledge and consent to this. If you would prefer not to appear in photos or videos, this event may not be the right fit for you. I look forward to welcoming you. Cristina Davy

SydDT #131: Lead Change That Matters with Ben Pecotich

Thu, Oct 15, 7:00 AM

From Sydney Design Thinking

4.7

Join us for the launch of my Ben Pecotich's new book Lead Change That Matters: Design the Conditions for Momentum! Your ticket includes all the usual SydDT goodness… plus a set of limited-edition Lead Change That Matters cards that we’ll use on the night to catalyse conversation and help you choose your own journey. You’ll also get a special launch discount on Ben's new book. 300+ people shared their experiences, goals, frustrations, and hopes through the research behind the book – including so many of you from the SydDT community. Lead Change That Matters is a call to action. It says the work matters, the people involved matter, and what we choose to do next matters. This session is for you if you’re: * Leading change you’re accountable for but can’t really control * Navigating complexity with increasing ambiguity and uncertainty * Caring for everyone’s wellbeing but dodging your own burnout * Firefighting the tactical when you want to lead the strategic change that matters At the heart of the book is a tension that ran through the research. Leaders are expected to juggle more as the work becomes faster, more complex, and more scrutinised… but the conditions around them haven’t kept pace with what’s being demanded. We want people to collaborate, adapt, take the initiative, and deliver meaningful results. What are we doing to make that possible? The premise is that leading change well is about designing the conditions for people to do meaningful work together – bringing purpose and performance together to build momentum and deliver results that matter. We’ll explore these themes together… with a focus on how we design the conditions for momentum, so we can lead change that matters. Come join us for some fun conversations with interesting people in and around the design thinking community. New members are welcome! **SPEAKER** **[Ben Pecotich](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benpecotich/)** **Design & Innovation Director/Founder, [Dynamic4](https://dynamic4.com).
