Shahab Shaikh
The university has an Employment and Careers department (Joblinx), which is managed by extremely professional and experienced staff. They gave me lots of advice and helped me address areas to improve, such as interview techniques and how to 'sell' my skills and talents to an employer.
Joblinx placed me at Mincom (the market leader in asset management software) as a Software Engineer. I was able to utilise the skills and knowledge gained through my studies and apply them to many projects. For example, I was able to work on the latest Mincom product - Ellipse 8.2.
During my work experience I was also able to expand my practical skills in technologies such as Java, Flex, Oracle, Cloud computing and much more!
I am really grateful to all the extremely qualified staff at JCU Brisbane and all the opportunities and support given to me."
On completion of his work experience, Shahab was offered full-time employment at Mincom, which has since been acquired and is now Ventyx, an ABB company.
