If you've attended a Career Services resume workshop, you know that application documents should be tailored to the role you're applying for. This is why we've tailored these Resume Roast sessions to represent specific industries and to target specific disciplines.

How will the session work:

Bring along a hard copy of your most updated resume to this interactive roundtable��session.��

At every table, there will be one industry representative from an organisation who is either in the professional services sector, or who recruits for professional service jobs and roles.

When you come to the session, you will be allocated to a random table.��

Each student will take turns having their resume reviewed by the recruitment specialist at the table, who is there to offer their expert insight and advice about your CV.��

The aim is to help you improve your resume and maximise the potential of your application document by sharing with you insider knowledge on how to articulate your skills, experience and personal brand.

We promise to make it a relaxed and engaging endeavour, so don't feel embarrassed or intimidated.

About the session:

Based on recent LinkedIn data, “hard skills can help you get a recruiter’s attention, but soft skills can help you land the job.”����

In this increasingly digital world, soft skills – or more appropriately, human skills – have become more important and more in demand than ever. This is backed up by the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Future of Jobs Report which lists 8 out of the top 10 core skills in the workforce as ‘human skills.’��

While technical skills are constantly changing, human skills remain relevant and transferable, guaranteeing career longevity. So, while artificial intelligence might be changing the future of work, authentic intelligence is what will future proof your career and help you stand out from the crowd.����

Come along to this session to learn how your personal attributes and competencies, your personality, strengths and values, as well your communication and people skills can work to your advantage. Find out what kinds of human skills employers are really looking for, so you can set yourself up for early career success!

Who should attend:

This session is essential for anyone looking to develop their employability and to position themselves for a successful graduate career - if you want to know what employers are looking for in candidates, then this session is for you. Students from all study years and all disciplines will benefit from this panel session.

Wouldn’t it be great if everyone’s passion and profession aligned and we could all wake up every day doing what we love while getting paid for it?����

The reality is, of course, that while many people aspire to pursue careers aligned with their passions, only a fraction achieve that. Recent Gallup polls suggest that 70 to 80% of people are not engaged at work while only 20 to 30% of people truly love their job.��

Yet, research has shown that job satisfaction and a sense of fulfilment and ‘purpose’ in one’s career is directly tied to long-term wellbeing and happiness and career longevity and success.����

The question then is, how do we find meaning and purpose in our jobs? How do we achieve a sense of fulfilment or job satisfaction and attain career longevity and success?

Come along to this session to find out if you can make a living AND make a difference, figure out how you can decide what really matters to you and turn that into a career plan, and find meaning and purpose in a job even if it's not inherently obvious!

Who should attend:

This session is essential for everyone - whether you have a career plan or not, this session will help you to set realistic goals and expectations for your early career and provide insight into achieving long-term career satisfaction and success.��Students from all study years and all disciplines will benefit from this panel session.

Not sure where you’re headed after uni? Don’t have a 5-year career plan? You’re not alone! That’s totally normal. Today it is increasingly normal for a career to have multiple sub-careers.����

The traditional linear career trajectory – choosing a field, climbing the ladder, becoming an expert – isn't for everyone. It doesn’t always guarantee career satisfaction, nor does it always maximise one’s potential. You might have diverse interests and skill sets, or you might be interested in expanding your horizons and broadening your experiences and professional toolkit.��

The thing to know is, you don’t have to be defined by conventional career trajectories. Instead, focus on finding career satisfaction and fulfilment, wherever that journey takes you! That’s one of the keys to a successful career.����

Come along to this session to get inspired by non-traditional career stories, learn the benefits of a non-linear career path, and start thinking about what your unique career journey might look like!

Who should attend:

Anyone who feels like they don't have a career plan and can't figure out what they want to do after graduation. Perhaps you might have diverse interests or skillsets, or perhaps you're worried about being stuck in a 'poor' career choice; or maybe a conventional career just doesn't float your boat - well this session is for you! Students from all study years and all disciplines will benefit from this panel session.

Let’s be real—not every grad job is listed online with a shiny “Apply Now” button. In fact, most jobs aren’t advertised at all. So how do people actually get them?��

Graduate programs are only the tip of the iceberg—there’s a whole world of unadvertised roles and organic career openings waiting for you. This session will give you the tools to understand, find, and access the hidden job market—where most opportunities for new grads actually exist.��

With advice from industry professionals and hiring managers, we’ll show you how to actively shape your early career and uncover roles that align with your skills, values, and aspirations.��

Come along to this session to discover how to find jobs and opportunities outside of conventional graduate programs, understand how SMEs and niche employers recruit differently, and learn practical strategies for positioning yourself to learn about and land hidden opportunities!

Who should attend:

Anyone who wants to understand more about opportunities beyond the graduate program pathway and accessing the hidden job market. Students from all disciplines in their penultimate and final year will benefit from this panel session.
