Genuine question because I’m feeling so lost right now. I’ve applied for a bunch of graduate programs but I’ve been getting rejected after the online assessments or video interviews. On top of that, so many graduate programs are only open to Aus or NZ citizens and I’m an international student. So that rules out a lot of opportunities from the start. Outside of grad programs, it feels like there are barely any true entry level roles and almost every job I look at wants previous work experience. I’ll be done with my studies next month and I’m still completely clueless about what I’m supposed to do next. At this point, all I’m doing is applying for jobs every day and it’s honestly becoming really frustrating. On top of all the academic stuff this has become another huge stress.

For those who managed to land an entry level finance role, how did you do it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Life’s been kinda rough lately and I’ve been feeling pretty depressed. I think a lot of it is the stress of graduating soon and not having a job lined up yet.
If you’ve used the Psychology & Wellness services, did you find them helpful? What was it actually like? Is it mostly just a conversation with a counsellor, or do they also help refer you to a GP? I’m in my last term, so I’m also wondering if they’d refer me to a GP or someone I can keep seeing after I graduate.

Is myUNSW currently unavailable due to scheduled maintenance or is it just me? It says “currently unavailable due to scheduled maintenance” when I try to log in. I need my academic transcript with my grades so far for a job application and of course this is happening at the worst possible timing😭 Anyone know how long it usually takes to be back up?

Applied to KPMG on 9 June and still haven’t received the online assessment link.

For context, I applied for the same role last month and got the assessment invite almost instantly after applying, so I assumed it was automated. Unfortunately, I couldn’t complete it within the 96 hour deadline due to personal reasons.

I submitted a new application, but this time I haven’t received the online assessment invitation email yet. My candidate profile currently shows “in review”
Is this normal, or should I withdraw and apply again. Or does this mean I’m rejected? Would appreciate any advice!
