About Me

My photo
I'm like any other uni student. I like clubbing, parties with friends and surfing if I can get a chance. I grew up in Townsville and miss my great friends there, the strand and maggie, but I still get time to have fun in brissie. I'm studying Civil and Construction Engineering at QUT, and I'm finding it a lot more interesting than most people would think. I'm also doing a mining minor at UQ at the same time so that I can work in the mining industry. I hope to work on mine sites once I graduate, because I love the friendliness in small towns, and it's always more fun to brag about being involved in massive projects. Drop me an email at andrea.dale@connect.qut.edu.au if you want to know more :)

Careers Day

I love Careers Day - I get to renew my pen stash for the year. There were some very cool things today - Vale had a 1GB memory stick, PB had lego pens and stress blocks, but my favourite was this Peabody stress ball in the form of a lump of coal. But seriously, it's a great way to talk to HR, and engineers in the companies you want to work for. Even better if you don't know who you want to work for yet. The best thing is that they are never limited to QUT uni students, although they are held in school hours. I think over half of the exhibitors were searching for engineers, it was great, although there were still many others. I think that it is probably the best way to meet numerous potential employers at once. And the best part is that they are purely there to meet potential employees, so don't feel weird about asking for vac work or part-time work.
