A glimpse of sunshine with a sunny forecast is all that’s needed to lift your mood when you are in Melbourne. Exams over, assignments submitted, and Christmas preparations in the air; it is summer time here. So, have you got any special plans for the university holidays?
Many of you might be done with your exams already, or in the middle of completing them. You might already have planned what to do in your summer (or winter) break, but if you haven’t decided what to do, here are some suggestions that could help you use your time off productively.
1. Get a work placement
Whether you are an undergraduate or postgraduate student, your employment prospects once you finish your studies will be so much brighter if you’ve gained some industry experience. So why not use this time of the year to complete an internship or work placement?
At this time of the year, many businesses have lots of permanent staff taking leave. This might be an ideal opportunity to show up and offer your services for work placement. As well as earning a little extra money (always useful!) you’ll also have the chance to get valuable work experience, which will give you a real head start once you graduate.
