5. Student feedback - Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) student
“I found the pop-up job shop very beneficial as I was able to receive one on one assistance with my resume.
The information provided to me was quite relevant to my field of study and was not generic advice offered
on how to present my CV. I was also made aware of other resources that are provided by RMIT in order to
become prepared for life after university.”
- Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) student
“Excellent one on one feedback on my resume and cover letter that was relevant to my circumstances.
The staff member was very knowledgeable and familiar with teacher job applications which was perfect.
The staff member knew how I could bring out my best life experiences in order to tailor these for a career
in education. I am very grateful for the practical and helpful information. Thank you!”
- Bachelor of Education student
“It was very resourceful in many aspects. From CV and cover letter writing and general information covering different
areas relevant to me, through workshops. The people at the job shop were also very welcoming and helpful. The many
brochures in the shop was also quite informative. The LinkedIn photo session was a big help. Thank you!”
- Master of Biomedical Science student
“I think it's great that RMIT offers this service for students. I will definitely look into their resources next year since
it is my final year.”
