You can start by making sure your application and interview skills are up to scratch, and think about what kinds of roles you are interested in. Visit UniHub or book an appointment with the UWA Careers and Employability Centre for professional careers support and assistance with writing cover letters and updating your resume.
Attend our WIL Workshops or arrange a meeting with a WIL Team member through UniHub. Before meeting with us, prepare to discuss your course, career plans and some specifics regarding the types of internships and industries that are of interest to you.
Your keen attitude will help you succeed. Ensure you put effort into the preparation, meet the required deadlines and are professional at all times. Also check your emails regularly so you don't miss any important information.
