From University Assignments to Your First Offer: AI Career Night

From University Assignments to Your First Offer: AI Career Night

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。 *** You open a graduate job listing. You see familiar degree requirements, along with more and more references to AI. You are taking courses and using the tools. But when it is time to apply, you still get stuck on one question: > **How can the things I have done become a reason for an employer to invite me to an interview?** If you are planning to look for an internship or your first job in 2027, this is a question worth discussing now. **Join us at the University of Melbourne on 2 October.** Together with Lightman and Ethan Wang, a University of Melbourne student representative and AI Engineer, we will connect employer expectations, real job-search experiences and the preparation you need to take next. Pizza will be provided, and there will be time for audience questions. This is a free event with 80 places available. Registration is now open, with one free ticket per person. **Event language: Chinese (Mandarin).** All presentations and discussions will be delivered in Chinese. ## 01 ## Look at the Work First, Then Decide What to Learn There are many AI tools, and students have limited time. The most important thing is to understand what your target role actually requires you to do. Lightman will start with concrete work tasks and discuss how students from both technical and non-technical backgrounds can prepare. When using AI for research, analysis, writing or development, how can you assess whether the results are reliable? And how can you turn them into deliverable outcomes? The discussion will explore questions such as: * How do companies determine whether a candidate genuinely knows how to use AI? * How much foundational knowledge do you still need to build? * What evidence should support the phrase “proficient in” on your resume? Looking ahead to 2027, we will distinguish between emerging industry needs and predictions about future trends, helping you choose the areas worth investing in. **From academic learning to real-world work tasks** ## 02 ## Speak with a University of Melbourne Student Working as an AI Engineer Our confirmed student guest is **Ethan Wang — a University of Melbourne student representative and AI Engineer.** Bring your own questions: * Which experiences are worth investing in during your preparation? * How can you clearly explain what you did during applications and interviews? * If you could start over, what would you prepare earlier? The student job-search story segment will be based on the guest’s own experience. Two University of Melbourne student speakers were originally planned, and the second student guest will be announced later. Lightman will connect employer expectations with job-search preparation. You will hear the perspective of employers and have the opportunity to ask a senior student about your own questions. **Lightman × Ethan Wang: Employer expectations and a student perspective** ## 03 ## If You Are Interested in Blockchain, Start with Career Questions Work in blockchain is about more than technical buzzwords. To understand an industry, you can start by asking: Who does it serve? What problems does it solve? What kinds of work need people to do? This event will include a discussion about career opportunities in the blockchain industry, covering real-world business applications, technical and non-technical roles, AI applications and how to get started. A blockchain association will participate in this segment. Its official name and industry guest speakers will be announced once confirmed. Any specific projects or internship opportunities will be subject to information confirmed by the association. **AI × Blockchain: From industry interest to career direction** ## 04 ## Turn What You Hear into Your Next Step After the talks, you may have many ideas. In the final content segment, we will turn those ideas into something practical: **strengthening your job-search advantage.** Starting with your target role, identify the skills you need to build. Then use internships, projects, part-time work, courses or student clubs to accumulate results that you can clearly explain and demonstrate. In your resume and interviews, the focus should be on explaining your contribution: * What problem were you facing? * What decisions did you make? * How did you check the results? * Where did AI help? This event aims to help you answer three questions clearly: **What do you want to apply for? What are you still missing? What should you do first over the next three months?** ## 10.02 ## Bring One Question — and Your Target Role You do not need to have an internship already, and you do not need to plan to become an AI Engineer. If you are exploring your direction, preparing to apply, or wondering how to combine your existing expertise with AI, you are welcome to join the conversation. You can choose a role you are interested in beforehand or bring your resume. The more specific your question, the easier it will be to apply the advice to your own preparation. ## Event Information **Friday, 2 October 2026** **5:00 PM–7:20 PM · Melbourne local time (AEST)** 5:00–5:20 PM: Check-in and registration 5:20 PM: Program officially begins **The University of Melbourne** PAR-110-L1-1022 — Lectorial Learning Space (70) Venue confirmed · Free event · Planned capacity: 80 attendees Pizza will be provided on site. ### How Will the Evening Unfold? * **5:00–5:20 PM**|Check-in and entry * **5:20–5:25 PM**|Welcome and speaker introductions * **5:25–5:50 PM**|Lightman: Real-world AI needs from employers looking ahead to 2027 * **5:50–6:10 PM**|Conversation: Career opportunities in the blockchain industry * **6:10–6:40 PM**|A University of Melbourne student’s job-search story — Ethan Wang confirmed * **6:40–7:00 PM**|Lightman: Strengthening your job-search advantage * **7:00–7:20 PM**|Pizza, audience Q&A and informal networking **Free registration is now open.** Click the registration button on this page and select the **“Free Admission”** ticket to continue. There are 80 tickets available in total, limited to one ticket per person. Registration closes at **5:20 PM on 2 October, Melbourne time**. *** Think of one question you most want to ask. It could be about your first job, a target role or a skill you are unsure whether you should learn. **Bring it with you to the University of Melbourne on 2 October. Let’s work out your next step together.**

Guided Women’s Business Networking

Guided Women’s Business Networking

Sat, Oct 3, 4:00 AM
From Her Collective Space | Dream Big, Build Bigger
4.7

**A monthly networking experience designed differently!** Our structured networking event is for women who want to grow, not just in business, but as individuals. Through meaningful conversations, thought-provoking reflection questions, and guided table rotations, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, build genuine connections, and challenge yourself to think bigger. **📝 How it works** **1\. Arrive & connect** You’ll be welcomed and seated at a table with a reflection prompt to kick-start the conversation. **2\. Dive into meaningful conversations** Each round explores a different question designed to spark honest discussions around business, personal growth, and the challenges that matter most. **3\. Meet someone new every 20 minutes** We guide every table rotation, so you’ll naturally connect with lots of different women throughout the evening, without any awkwardness. By the end of the night, you’ll leave with meaningful new connections, fresh perspectives, and greater clarity on your next steps. **🔎 How to Find Rabbit Bar** Rabbit Bar can be tricky to spot: 1. Go to the ground floor of **The Galeries** 2. Look for **Toastie Smith** 3. Behind it, you’ll see a semi-enclosed area 4. Walk down into that area 5. On your right, you’ll see a doorway. Enter it 6. Then look for another open door immediately to your right. That’s **Rabbit Bar**! 📲 **Got questions?** Feel free to message me here on Meetup. **Looking forward to a room full of real talk. See you there! xx** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Want to learn more about Her Collective Space?** Follow us on Instagram: [@hercollectivespace](http://www.instagram.com/hercollectivespace/)
