Access to Students

CareerConnect is a web-based administration system that provides an electronic communication hub between students, alumni, employers and the University Alumni & Careers Centre (ACE) staff. To use the system you must first be registered.

You can register for CareerConnect at http://ace.murdoch.edu.au/careerhub

Access to Alumni

One service the Careers Centre can offer that you may not have considered before, is access to Alumni. Murdoch University keeps in touch with our students following graduation and the Careers Centre continues to offer advice on career planning and the employment application process. This means that you can not only access current students and intending graduates for your graduate intake, but can ALSO access experienced graduates who have expressed an interest in job seeking and career advancement. Please call us and discuss your requirements. All Murdoch Alumni also have access to CareerConnect.

What does CareerConnect Provide?

When you are registered as an employer on CareerConnect you will be able to:

• maintain your contact details and set your company into appropriate employment categories
• add a list of contact people within your company, and specify what 'Service' (eg: Graduate Employment, Vacation Employment) they should be the primary contact for.
• add vacancies directly to the CareerConnect system for students to search
• edit and close the vacancies you have listed
• view a history of all the previous vacancies you have listed on CareerConnect
• add events you are running to CareerConnect for students, staff and Alumni to search (employment related only).

All items you add to CareerConnect will be subject to approval by the ACE Centre.

Your Company Profile

The first place most students come when starting to research the job market is the Careers Centre on all of Murdoch’s campuses. We urge you to send us material such as Annual Reports, posters and any other relevant material.

On-Campus Presentations

If you would like to make a presentation to students on the Murdoch, Rockingham or Peel campus, the Careers Centre will organise all the details for you. We book a suitable venue, promote the event via CareerConnect and posters around campus and we'll even organise parking for you. We can either promote your presentation to all students or target specific disciplines.

As the teaching timetable gets tighter each year, and venues harder to find, we would appreciate as much notice as possible for the best results. For advice on the best times to target our students please contact us.
