Education
Doing an internship and being amazing is one thing, but it’s only a means to an end. This episode shows you how other people have transitioned to the workplace, from biotech to banking. We give you the skinny on networking, mentors and making the jump.We look at some research about how internships lead to jobs, how degrees help and why internships are not going away and what’s going on in Portugal! We ask some super accomplished mentors what they look for when they choose who to share their wisdom with, and what you can expect from the process.We also get the low-down on LinkedIn, using it post-internship and the three kinds of contacts you need in your network. And the two different types of contacts in your IRL network. This episode is a jazzy kickstop to our series on internships and employability, we wish you the best of luck as you start somewhere!If anything we have said has helped, or hindered, we would love to hear from you, get in touch at: starting-somewhere@unimelb.com.auSome of the companies and websites we mentioned in this episode:Organisations mentioned in this episode:LinkedIn Student guidehttps://students.linkedin.com/The Impact of Unpaid Internships on Career Development - NACE reporthttp://www.naceweb.org/job-market/internships/the-impact-of-unpaid-internships-on-career-development/University of Melbourne Careershttps://careers.unimelb.edu.au/homeBurnet Institutehttps://www.burnet.edu.au/Masters of Entrepreneurshiphttp://study.mbs.unimelb.edu.au/study/degrees/master-of-entrepreneurship/overviewProfessor John Krumboltz, Stanford University - happenstance theoryhttps://ed.stanford.edu/faculty/jdkContributors: This episodes features contributions from the following people and organizations.Hamish Taylor, Academic Tutor at Ormond College, The University of Melbournehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mrhamishtaylor/Vivian Gleeson, Business Development Officer, Burnet Institutehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/vivian-gleeson-1a2390128/Hayley Smeding of Tandem Partners HRhttps://www.tandempartners.com.au/Kate Mellot, Graduate trainee, ANZ Bank.Dr Josh Healy, Lecturer - Management and Marketing, University of Melbournehttps://fbe.unimelb.edu.au/our-people/staff/management-and-marketing/josh-healy Andrew Crain - doctoral student in the Institute of Higher Education and a talent acquisition specialist for UGA Development & Alumni Relations.http://ihe.uga.edu/people/andrew-crain/Dr Dan Woodman is TR Ashworth Associate Professor of Sociology in the School of Social and Political Scienceshttps://findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/display/person19920Mary Trumble, Client Solutions Manager, LinkedIn Australiahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/marytrumble/Professor Colin McLeod, Master of Entrepreneurship, Faculty of Business and Economics, University of Melbournehttps://www.findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/display/person82179Warren Frehse, Senior Advisor, Experiential Learning, Global Leadership and Employability, UoMhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/warrenfrehse/Rem Tzambasis of NAB, manager, Strategic Partners and Programshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rem-tzambazis-86b47930/Sarah Webster, Maths tutor, Musicianhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-webster-097908146/Anders Furze, writer, critic and journalisthttps://www.andersfurze.com.au/Anna Lemcke - Project Manager - MMVLLENhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-lemcke-32260470/Lynne Cazaly - Author, Speaker, Facilitatorwww.lynnecazaly.com.auProfessor Glyn Davis AC, Vice-Chancellor, University of Melbournehttps://about.unimelb.edu.au/leadership/vice-chancellor/prof-glyn-davisCredits: Starting Somewhere is produced by the University of MelbourneProducers: Buffy Gorilla, Ben Pawson, Supervising Producer and original concept: Dr Andi Horvath,Buffy Gorrilla is an award-winning audio journalist and a recent graduate of the University of Melbourne Master of Journalism programme.
