Hi shanew,
We are attending UTS career fair and UNSW careers fair (11/04 and 13/04) so feel free to suggest that your friends come along to have a chat to us.

Thanks for the feedback about James - I'll pass that on to him and will suggest your podcast idea or something similar. We do have a youtube channel with a variety of videos including one about grads (it is from a couple of years ago though but still very useful).

For researching - check out our website qantas.com and there is some great stuff in the about qantas and media room areas. Also check out recent news and have a think about recent world events and how they impact Qantas.

Hi Veronica,
Great to hear your enthusiasm.
For our HR stream we are looking for grads with a business/commerce degree with a major or minor in HR.

Our Corporate stream on the other hand is open to students with a general degree (Arts included) and who show a willingness to learn, and who are open to the large array of opportunities within the Corporate Stream.

The Corporate stream can cover rotations in a number of areas including operational roles (such as business analyst roles in QCatering, Airport Management, Freight, Lounge Design, etc), as well as corporate type roles (including Marketing, Corporate Communication and Media, Pricing and Yield, etc).

Hi PButcher
As I said to Tina.Fey there is potential to do interstate and international rotations based on business need. Duty travel also occurs sporadically when needed.

Our Corporate stream includes rotations in marketing however it also includes rotations in a number of areas including operational roles (such as business analyst roles in QCatering, Airport Management, Freight, Lounge Design, etc), as well as corporate type roles (including Marketing, Corporate Communication and Media, Pricing and Yield, etc).

For the Corporate stream we are seeking grads with a willingness to learn, and who are open to the large array of opportunities within the Corporate Stream, as while marketing is your main area of interest, by rotating through other areas you will experience an over arching perspective of the company and industry.

Hi All,

I'll be logging off in approx 5 minutes time. Thanks for a great forum discussion and if you have any last minute questions feel free to ask me now. Otherwise, we will be back on line at a later date - check the Unigrad site often for updates. Our website is also a very useful resource. The web address is careers.qantas.com and follow the links to Graduates.

All the best with your application and your graudate careers!

Rikki

Thanks for a great forum everyone!
