Careers and Employment in Arts
Arts students have access to careers assistance which is targeted to their issues. This includes both 1:1 Careers Consultations and 'Next Steps' information sessions and workshops.
Individual Careers Consultations
These appointments can be used to talk about career direction, work experience, job seeking, job applications or anything relevant to your career development. Appointments are available most days with Careers Consultants Diana Edwards or Kate Abraham.
Bookings
- Log in via the Careers Online website
- Go to 'View Appointments' to find 'Careers Consultation - Arts Students (Diana)' or 'Career Consultations – Arts or Music (Kate)'
If you cannot find an appointment and the matter is urgent, you are welcome to email Diana Edwards who may be able to assist in some way.
These appointments are all conducted in the Arts Student Centre in Room 109A. Check in at Student Centre reception when you arrive.
Career Drop-ins
These are used for quick career questions including questions about application documents you are working on – for example, resumes, cover letters, selection criteria. No bookings are required – it's first come, first served.
There are two sessions scheduled each week specifically for Arts students (commencing week of 12th March):
- Wednesday 3 - 4pm (Room 109A, Arts Student Centre)
- Tuesday 12 - 1pm (Foyer, Melbourne Conservatorium of Music)
Please Note: students from any course are able to attend Career Drop-ins at any Student Centre - check Careers Online for times and locations across campus.
Next Steps: Arts
Under Next Steps, a variety of seminars and workshops are available to assist you with career development. Some sessions are repeated regularly e.g. resume writing, while others coincide with what’s going on at different times of the year e.g. choosing majors, applying for Graduate Employment Programs.
The sessions are generally Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday lunchtimes. For details, check the Next Steps web page on the Faculty of Arts website.Bookings
