Working in a new culture requires you to be agile, adaptable and to understand how to respond to new social situations. I have been able to take this experience back to Australia when working on cross-border deals with clients who are based in Hong Kong and other jurisdictions.
Set yourself up as early as possible for your future. Take opportunities as they present themselves, make connections with people in your field, apply early and often for career starting positions.
My work is one of these aims, as we are empowered to do specific things, such as design a program that supports retrenched workers, so the training helps me do my job.
Throughout my time at Jarden, I have worked with CEOs and CFOs from leading companies in a range of industries needing different solutions to complex problems.
I am fortunate in my role as a WorkSafe Victoria engineer to observe the changes we make to workplaces, and know that what we do is helping Victorian workers get home safely.
