Making sure your career is on track
August 2009

Welcome to the August edition of e-Ready. In this edition we focus on career planning and share some insights on the areas of performance reviews, career development and other opportunities to help your career. We also take a step back in time to examine the engineering marvels of the ancient world before heading back to the present to look at some of the more interesting things happening on uni campuses.

Contents

	Performance reviews and salary negotiations: your chance to shine The prospect of a performance review with your boss can be intimidating but it is actually an excellent opportunity to progress in your career.
	Career development: whose responsibility is it? As an employee you provide your skills and labour to an organisation and your employer rewards you for your efforts by the provision of a salary and other benefits. Where it gets a bit trickier, however, is in the area of career development.
	The importance of giving back: industry helping students For many university students, choosing the ‘right’ career direction can seem overwhelming.
	Engineering marvels of the ancient world The Great Wall of China; Abu Simbel in Egypt; Pharos Lighthouse in Egypt and the Parthenon in Greece.
	Being more work savvy: jargon in the vet workplace In every workplace there is a language that is unique from industry to industry. What is zoonoses? Luxation?
	What’s on the web: happenings on campus Musical Wii; Campus brewery; Go Greenride and When Science means Business.
	Student and graduate positions One of the benefits of student membership is the receipt of our fortnightly job update.
	Getting more from your membership Many of our student members will be in their final year of study this year and will shortly be graduating. As you enter the next stage of your career, we want to make things a little easier for you.
	Member services Being a student APESMA member has many lifestyle and financial benefits in addition to playing an important role in your working career.
