Mock interview and resume workshops A professional recruiter guided final-year students on the dos and don'ts during a job interview, shared information on various interview approaches, and conducted on-the-spot interview roleplays. In a separate workshop, students learnt how to craft an effective resume, tailor it to specific job openings, highlight transferable skills and make a better first impression on recruiters. Professional Transition Program Photo by MONGA Monash Career Fair The two-day career fair featured 52 employers offering job opportunities and internships, including prominent organisations such as Maybank, Sunway, IBM, Deloitte, Nielsen, Shell, KPMG and Huawei. This annual event serves as a platform for our students to better understand their career prospects and employment opportunities in various industries through direct engagement with exhibiting employers. This program was developed to support final-year students as they prepare to transition from university to workplace. This year, we partnered with Maybank to enhance our students’ employability skills and career readiness. Employer networking sessions Internship and NGO Fair The inaugural Internship and Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) Fair was an opportunity for our students to network with employers and NGOs as well as apply for internship or volunteering opportunities. There were 22 leading corporate companies and 15 NGOs across all causes and fields, including the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia, KPMG, WWF-Malaysia, Women’s Aid Organisation, Deloitte, Digi-X, and more. Together, they offered more than 750 internship and volunteering opportunities for students of all disciplines. Monash organised more than 15 employer networking sessions over the year for students to meet and network with leading industry partners such as Maybank, Coca Cola Bottlers Malaysia, Intel, and Shell on campus. These sessions were not just limited to simple networking; students were able to participate in workshops, talks and hands-on case studies.
