Trishna’s first role was in an engineering construction company as an Office Administrator. Whilst this was not the ideal role, it was a foot in the door. Through building networks and relationships, within two months, she was able to commence in a new role as an Environmental Engineer. After a few years, Trishna realised that her passion did not lie in Engineering and she embarked on a new career path in People and Culture.
Trishna’s top tip for international students is to be brave and to not be afraid to ask for what you want. Be interested, curious and take ownership of your career. Part of this includes building a network of colleagues, mentors and coaches to support and guide you throughout your career. Most importantly, be ready to adapt as you learn and grow. Your life is not predetermined, so it is important to be brave enough to pivot towards and embrace new opportunities.
