“Since graduating from Deakin, I wanted to let you know that this unit helped me so
much with my real life job interview. All the questions we practiced during this unit were asked in my interview and I felt very prepared. I just wanted to let you know how much this unit prepared me and that I felt confident going into my job interview (I ended up getting the job).” …………………………..……. "I am very excited to tell you that today I was offered a full time position at the laboratory where I completed placement as part of SLE390..... This would not have been possible without the unit you ran, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity you provided and the hard work put in by all SLE390 staff. It is by far the most valuable unit I did throughout my 3 year degree. I am now so glad I gave it my 110% effort, because without it, I would not have even done the placement, let alone learnt about interview skills and how to build the perfect resume and cover letter. In addition, via your information sessions organised, I crossed off jobs like sales rep and working in massive commercial labs like pathology...."
