| We’re thrilled to announce that we have launched the first episode of our brand new podcast, 🎧 Cram Time with GradConnection! This podcast shares advice and stories to help make your job search journey that little bit easier to navigate. In our first episode we are joined by 2022 Top100 Winners and upcoming grads, Maria Jamal (Coles IT Award) and Raramai Purazeni (CA ANZ Accounting Award)! Tune in as Maria and Rara chat about that time a high school friend helped land Rara an internship, why coming into the office might just land you a chance encounter with the CFO, and why working for a big brand company might not be all that. |
