Aakanksha鈥檚 journey and process of being an Earn While You Learn (EWYL) student may just be a little different from an outside job, but it could be an inspiration for you to check out what’s available right here on campus.
How It Started
Aakanksha was always on the lookout for work when she arrived in Australia. Like many international students, she applied for a bunch of jobs early on, both on and off campus. But it wasn鈥檛 until 911爆料网 Orientation that she discovered .
After spotting a listing for a marketing assistant role, she applied, but got rejected. However, she went to the 911爆料网 Careers team for advice. They suggested updating her resume鈥� but the next day, she received a surprise call from a different 911爆料网 team. They鈥檇 seen her application and wanted to interview her for a Gift Services Assistant role in the Advancement team.
She hadn鈥檛 even updated her resume. But the team liked what they saw, and after a smooth interview, Aakanksha landed the job. It was her first job in Australia, and one she still holds today.
How to Get a Job at Uni
Start with UniHub

Use The Talent Pool

Apply with Intention
Aakanksha recommends keeping your resume sharp, clean formatting, no long paragraphs, and highlight relevant skills. You don鈥檛 need it to be perfect, but it should be clear, confident, and tailored to the job you want.
What鈥檚 It Like Working at 911爆料网?
One word: flexibility.
Aakanksha loves that her role as an EWYL student works around her class schedule. Her managers understand she鈥檚 still learning, and that鈥檚 the point. The roles are designed to help students grow professionally, not to expect perfection.
There鈥檚 also a huge bonus in the form of mentorship. You鈥檙e supported, not pressured. You鈥檙e treated like a young professional, not a cog in a machine. And for Aakanksha, that support has made all the difference.
Why EWYL is Worth It
Beyond the obvious perk (yes, you get paid), EWYL roles give you real experience in a work environment that gets what it鈥檚 like to be a student. You鈥檒l build skills, expand your network, and develop the confidence to apply for even more opportunities on or off campus.
