AALA VIC - Career Workshop Series - Written Applications

The Victorian Branch of the AALA invites you to attend the first session of the Career Workshop Series on the topic of written applications, which is being run in conjunction with Leo Cussen Centre for Law.

The Career Workshop Series is an initiative specifically targeted at law students and graduates from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. It is intended to equip them with tangible career-oriented skills and knowledge, in order to help them overcome the additional obstacles faced in the job-hunting process associated with being from CALD backgrounds, and indeed, leverage their cultural backgrounds as a source of competitive advantage.

This event is free and will be run in hybrid format, i.e. both in person at Leo Cussen Centre for Law (Level 16, 15 William Street, Melbourne VIC 3000) and via Zoom, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm on Tuesday 25 July 2023.

Specifically, this session will cover the following:

• CVs/resumes;
• cover letters;
• questions; and
• psychometric testing.

The session will feature:

• Nikki Doan, Graduate at Ashurst and AALA VIC committee member; and
• Jacinta Foley, Careers Advisor at Leo Cussen Centre for Law.

There will be a 45 minute presentation, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A, then networking over drinks and canapes for those attending in person.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to submit a resume and cover letter for review and feedback after the session.
