Student Testimonials



"I selected James Cook University as it is the only University in Australia that offers an Internship program as part of the course curriculum

The Internship gave me the opportunity to develop better programming skills. The "real experience" was working and developing websites in real time, I learnt and developed a lot of skills - not just technical, but communication skills and the ability to deal with any situation.
You don’t get that in a classroom!
At the end of my Internship the CEO publicly praised me for my contribution to the project.
I feel very confident now facing the Australian Job market and believe I have an advantage over my peers through this experience.”

RECRUITMENT SERVICE..

Eduardo has been a great help to me not only in finding a job for me but also by boosting my self confidence and assisted me to understand the Australian work culture. It was the best experience and choice for me to utilise the services of employment assistance from JCUB Employment and Careers Department to find a casual job. The moment I went there I was given a basic idea as to how to prepare a professional resume tailored for the Australian job market and also how to conduct myself when going for an interview. Further, Eduardo has been a great guide and friend while I have been at JCUB. I would to take great pleasure in thanking the entire team of employment assistance and especially Eduardo for his great help and support.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM...

“The experience is definitely precious and memorable. My internship with a local company gave me the opportunity to put theory into practice. The bonus was learning the Australian work culture. I couldn't believe it when I was offered to continue on as an employee with the company!! I am thankful for all the support from program coordinators and my host employer."

“It’s exceeded my expectations. I actually didn’t think that I would get a very good Internship Job, but I was so surprised when I got the position at The Brisbane Lions working on a Human Resources project, conducting a Job Skills Audit. The people made me feel so comfortable; the whole environment there was so friendly. I was invited to the Christmas and birthday parties. I was made to feel like I was one of the employees… Now I have completed the internship, I feel really confident about going to work for any organisations or companies in Australia. In a professional environment I would say that the most important thing is confidence, confidence confidence…”
