Normally, the time to secure your placement takes between 1-3 months after you complete your internship preparation (new Resume, interview training and LinkedIn profile).
However, COVID-19 is impacting most businesses right across Australia who have implemented policies including:
• Hiring freeze/no recruitment
• Work from home (no staff in office)
• No work experience/industry placements
These changes mean that there are likely to be delays in securing your placement. We are committed to helping you secure your placement as soon as possible, however, due to COVID-19, we are advising all clients of prolonged delays.
We will continue to liaise with companies to identify current opportunities as there will be some companies keen to have interns during this period.
What you can do while waiting for placement:
1. Continue working on your internship Resume with our support
2. Practise your interview answers and attend mock interview training
3. Update your LinkedIn profile with advice from your Internship Coach
4. Gain/refresh/update your technical skills by completing online courses on e-learning platforms. Remember, the more technical skills you have, the more attractive you will be to employers seeking interns.
After you have enrolled, you will gain access to our online resources in order to help you prepare for your internship.
