From Job Hunt 2.0

After a break, We are back! Excited to meet new faces and kick-start more conversations. The objective of this event is to get comfortable with the idea of talking to strangers. You are free to talk, or just observe. Networking is critical for success here in Australia, and if not now - when? There is no agenda to this and anyone is welcome. Just come along and join a random bunch of strangers for a walk in the city. As this is a test run, we'll go by the flow after meeting at 300 Flinders St. Please arrive on time at the location as we may move from the start. As it's a short event, latecomers are not entertained. I will update the live location in the comments at 12.20 pm We may move/walk 10 mins after the beginning of the event. Follow us with the live location that I share in the comments Note : Please update your RSVP if you are unable to make it. We are all taking time of our busy schedule to make this happen.
