Hi guys,
I have talked to Jen (the talent manager from AWT) about if they would be
interested in coming to our event and what her opinion is on attending student
networking events.
She said she is very interested in attended these because she understands that
there is a big age gap in experience in the oil and gas industry and if they
can have the opportunity to network with students then it makes the hiring
process easier at the end of the year with vacation students and graduates.
I also asked about international students and what their opinion is on hiring
them. She said that the smaller companies would not usually invest in an
international student if they have not got their working visa organised but if
they show initiative to stay in Australia and eventually get permanent
residency then there is no discrimination between an Australian graduate and an
international graduate.
She said that being connected with petroleum, mechanical, chemical, mechatronic
engineers who are devoted to be in the oil and gas industry is definitely a
head start in getting vacation work with a company but she did say that they
must show initiative of why they want to be in the industry and what have they
done about it so far to try and get work.
They are looking for motivated and dedicated student engineers to take over the
petroleum industry.
If companies want to attend this event it has to be free for them to come and
she said that its great to have a HR/Talent person to talk to as well as an
Engineer in the field it gives a wider perspective about the industry.
I think this event will do extremely well if we get devoted 3rd year engineers
who seriously want a job to attend.
Ziad - every time you call a company would you be able to ask if they hire
international students and what qualities they expect an international student
to display.
Please email me back if there is anything else you need me to ask her. She said
if we need any help organising the event we can contact her and she will do her
best to help.
Thanks guys
Have a good weekend
Ellie
