Purpose
This case study breaks down how Keyba Careers supports international student Kevin in developing the skills necessary for employability as he seeks guidance after graduating from university.
Background
Kevin moved to Australia several years ago from Indonesia. As an international student, he completed his Bachelor of Science Degree,
majoring in Mathematics and Statistics, at Melbourne University. With a post-study work visa, he is now eligible to pursue full-time work in Australia and is seeking opportunities as a Data Analyst, Financial Analyst or in a Procurement role.
Reasons for Course Enrolment and Duration?
Kevin enrolled in the Keyba Careers program to gain a better understanding of the job-seeking process. According to him, he found that Google didn’t offer clear, actionable guidance on the steps he should be taking. He chose to spread out the program’s five courses over three weeks, allowing himself to digest the material and fully absorb the content while enjoying the learning experience.
Key Takeways:
- Cover Letter and Resume Guidance: Initially, Kevin was confused about the cover letter. The program’s templates and instructions helped him create a strong resume and cover letter tailored to the position he’s applying for.
- Interview Preparation: Kevin was particularly impressed with the common interview questions included in the program. These questions closely matched those he experienced in an online interview, boosting his confidence and readiness.
- Insight into the Employer Expectations: The program offered Kevin step-by-step insights into what employers look for, which he found invaluable in preparing for interviews and staying on track with his job search.
Overall Experience:
Kevin described the course as easy to follow, educational, and enjoyable. With the confidence he gained from completing the course, Kevin feels better equipped for the job market.
Reflecting on his previous job applications, Kevin now sees how much they lacked in structure and impact.
