University of Wollongong Career Directory Profiles

You are an adviser, a counsellor, a cheerleader, a boundary-setter, and on any given day you can be both the best and worst person in the world (if your students had any say, that is!).

As a clerk, you get exposure to great matters – massive commercial deals and important government work.

The best part of my job is that I get such a high level, detailed understanding of the processes within the organisation, despite not being in any managerial position. I then get a fairly open slate to start trying to help those processes along.

The trainers are always by your side, and they imbibe in you all of the things that you’d been sorely missing - the TW goodies - pair programming, test-driven development, feedback culture - the whole nine yards.

This job changes every day and presents new challenges but a passion for their products is what really differences the ambassadors out.

It’s really rewarding knowing the things you are working on will be used to shape the future education systems of Australia.

Any candidate with a proactive attitude willing to get the best out of others will go a long way to achieving success in my role.

The diversity of the cohort is what I’ve loved most. People come from a variety of backgrounds and having that exchange of ideas in class has been very beneficial.
