'Grad Australia' is a nifty site dedicated to advertising a whopping number of graduate programs.

This site is a must for frequent application updates, critical reviews, upskilling workshops, internship and entry-level opportunities.

The search for graduate jobs and opportunities is a little different for international students. Much will be dependent on the Visa type you hold.
To make sure you meet the requirements for upgrading or changing your visa type after you graduate, go through the Study Melbourne website for brief details.
If you're looking for more direct information, why not speak to a representative directly? The Study Melbourne office is open for students to come in and chat with the team on any issues relating to your studies or for remaining in Australia after you graduate.
Find their website here.
Find their office:
Study Melbourne Student Centre
17 Hardware Lane, Melbourne
M-F: 9am-5pm (Excluding Public Holidays)
If you're looking to build up that work experience before applying for graduate programs, but don't have a regular gig to pad that resume? Make sure to regularly check in with the UniMelb Careers Online jobs notice board.
Posts come and go quite frequently, and importantly they are sourced from both within and external to the university. All you need is your Unimelb login details and hey presto! You're in!
Head to the Careers Online board here.
It's important to have the fundamentals achieved, for sure. But it's another thing to accept the need for further refinement. UniMelb EmployMe offers students the one-stop-shop database for all things 'employability' related, ranging from skills testing (yes, that includes dreaded psychometric testing exercises) to job application tools to search engine tips and tricks.
There's a ti-bit for every knowledge gap, so don't be shy! Be aware of your pitfalls and your personal challenges, because the only way to improve is with practice.
