Min says participating in the Medibank graduate program had a great impact on her career. It gave her an overview of the business, the opportunity to work with different teams and to really understand the corporate culture. Applying for a graduate program could be daunting as there are usually a lot of steps such as CVs, application forms, online test, video interview, group interviews and 1on1 interviews. But it will worth your time and effort. Look out for these opportunities and be prepared. Practice mock interviews with your friends, record questions that you’ve been asked in any interview, review your answers and improve them for next time.
Most skills that you learn during study are transferable, so be confident and don’t let ‘lacking experience’ stop you from applying the positions you wanted. The skills and the knowledge that you’ve gained through study are applicable beyond your specific speciality. Don’t be discouraged by rejection, rather take it as a valuable learning experience. The more jobs you apply for, the more opportunities you will have.
