After spending a good portion of the day on graduate applications, I'm glad that I don't have to submit too many applications. Due to the booming mining economy, there's a lot more jobs available than there are qualified people. That means that most grads should get jobs offered to them pretty easily. I decided to choose my preferred employers, and have pretty high hopes that I will get offers from both of the companies that I have applied to. Just two applications took quite a while, so I'm glad that I am graduating in such a great climate for engineering graduates. Four years ago was very different.
Back to uni on Monday for me. I bought some note books today, and fixed my push bike so I guess I'm ready. I'm even back in time for the start of semester, which has not always been the case with Vacation Work periods. This year I have a pretty scary structural subject, along with my final year project and mining subjects. It might be a bit difficult to get back into uni life after more than a year away, working. I've already managed to get used to living in Brisbane again quite easily, so shouldn't be too hard.
About Me
- andy
- 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 :)
