Nutri-Grads

We’ve all seen the ads. The skinny young boy, inspired by an iron man, he eats his nutri-grain and grows up to become the next generations elite sportsman, and the motto reminds us “You only get out, what you put in”. This advice, though somewhat generic when applied to a breakfast cereal, is really quite [...]

Some comments from our Sydney ProGraduates

Some feedback on Sydney’s recent Assessment Day from our superstar ProGrad Graduates!   Hi Jemma,  Just sending an email to thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me in the last 24hours. I hope I wasn’t too difficult to deal with. Thank you especially for your feedback on my speech this morning, it [...]

How I Met Your Employer

Ted Mosby is an all round nice guy. He has a good group of friends and he has definite direction in his life. In fact we all know where Ted’s story leads; the two kids on the lounge show us how it ends up. What we don’t know is how he gets there? In fact [...]

An individual – just like everybody else.

It’s a scary truth that as a uni leaver you are competing. There are other graduates from your school, then there are all those other universities, and then the international students, and the people who took a gap year, and the people whose dad owns the company and the people who close their eyes make [...]

Facebook… to post or not to post

Facebook is a tool that for many has become a daily, (and often hourly) ritual. The most interesting, exciting, dramatic, emotional or even straight out strange things are what we all love to post, like, share, comment and upload. Equally the entertainment factor is why we all love to update our newsfeed as much as [...]

Post Australia Day Let Down?

Enjoying a public holiday, even mid week, is an integral part of the Australian culture. But for all those uni students and unemployed graduates who spend all day every day enjoying the luxury of a life of leisure, the national day off is usually just a themed variation from their daily lives. So how does [...]

How to ask for time off without ruffling feathers.

  Tired? Stressed? Burned out? If you feel like the walls are closing in on you and you just need to get away from work, you are not alone. Many of us get exhausted from work at some point, and the best cure can be a little time off. But how do you approach your [...]

New Year- New Beginnings

New Year- New Beginnings It’s already a few weeks into the new year and for most of us the reality of work is starting to kick back in, no more sun kissed days on the beach (the sun has disappeared) and no more late nights in the pool (the rain is wet enough). But if [...]
