Talk to a mentor
Sometimes it helps to speak to someone working in your field, or who has been in a similar situation. CQUni Career Connection is an online mentoring program where you can connect with other graduates for one-on-one career conversations. You can talk to alumni mentors for:- Advice on what to expect in your career, finding a job or industry trends

- A mock job interview.
Many of our mentors work full-time, so we encourage our mentees to book a session at least a week in advance to allow our mentors to have the appropriate time to prepare and schedule in the session.
