Assessment Details
1. Research:
Start by exploring various job platforms to find a position that resonates with your career
aspirations and aligns with your academic background in innovation.
Recommended platforms include:
LinkedIn
(https://www.linkedin.com/)
Seek
(https://www.seek.com.au/)
Indeed
(https://au.indeed.com/)
Feel free to explore other job search platforms that you’re familiar with or that are
relevant to your geographical or sectoral preferences.
2. Selection Criteria:
Ensure the job is suitable for a graduate student, meaning it should ideally require a
bachelor’s degree (or be in the process of obtaining one) and not demand extensive years
of experience.
The job should be related to the field of innovation, encompassing roles such as innovation
consultant, product developer, R&D specialist, or similar positions.
3. Documentation:
Once you’ve identified a suitable job, document the key details:
Job title
Company name
Job description (a brief summary)
Key responsibilities
Required qualifications and skills
You must include a direct link to the job listing at the beginning of your submission. Ensure
the link is accessible, so avoid links that might require a login or subscription to view.
Note:
While the primary focus is on the field of innovation, you’re encouraged to find a job that not only
fits the criteria but also genuinely interests you. This will make the subsequent sections of the
essay more meaningful and personally relevant.
