Career Corner #2 - The Career Conversation
Career Corner #2 - The Career Conversation
Real conversations about careers, opportunities and challenges in Australia.
Building a career isn't always straightforward. Whether you're looking for your next opportunity, thinking about a career change, or trying to grow your professional network, there's plenty we can learn from each other.
Join us for the second edition of IndOz Career Corner, an evening of open conversations, shared experiences and practical career insights.
What we'll be talking about
1. Career Agility: Reinventing Yourself When the Market Changes
The job market keeps changing. How do you stay relevant, adapt your skills and find new opportunities when things don't go as planned?
Facilitator: Micky Purnomosidi | mickypurnomosidi
2. Building Networks When You Know Nobody
Networking can be challenging, especially when you're new to Australia or starting in a different industry. How do you build genuine connections that can help you personally and professionally?
Facilitator: Yohana Jury | yohanajury
3. Career Growth in Australia
What does it take to progress your career in Australia? We'll explore career progression, workplace expectations and the lessons we've learned along the way.
Facilitator: Panji Tohaga | panji-tohaga
How does it work?
No presentations or traditional panel discussions this time.
We're trying a World Café-style format, where everyone gets to join small-group conversations around the three topics.
Each round runs for 15 minutes, with facilitators moving between tables. You can stay seated, enjoy your food and take part in the discussions.
No preparation needed. Just bring your questions, experiences and an open mind.
Good conversations over good food
We're hosting the event at Waroeng SS Spesial Sambal in Carlton.
The event is free, and we'd love everyone to order some food or drinks from the restaurant during the evening.
Waroeng SS is supporting our community by hosting this event, so it's a nice opportunity to support a local Indonesian business in return. Plus, good conversations are even better over good food!
Food and drinks are available for purchase at your own expense.
