During Nam’s study at Swinburne University, she was offered a paid internship opportunity at Medibank in the Overseas Portfolio team. After that, she secured a role as a Junior Analyst in the Medibank Voice of Customer team.
Nam says, ‘when you are at university, it is beneficial to focus on opportunities beyond study. Look for internships, volunteer work, any opportunities that will help you to build experience and a network. Prioritise your career and personal development. Reach out to your teachers or leaders for support and discuss your interests and goals with them.
Also get out of your comfort zone. When you come from overseas, you tend to stick to people from the same country and culture. Forcing yourself to move beyond that, meeting different people from different backgrounds, helps enormously with personal development’.
