University of Auckland Careers Directory Profiles

Grades are important, but the main thing is driving opportunities for yourself - social, professional or otherwise.

My role as an environment and planning consultant is to provide resource management, environmental, and social impact advice for projects.

I have always liked to communicate with people and enjoyed studying Portuguese at school, so I would have been a journalist or a reporter, or both!

I love working for a company that has a focus on its people. There is a lot of consideration for the health, wellbeing, and inclusion of employees which makes working here great

Our firm invests in people, and I look up to our leaders who started out as graduates and are now project directors, team leaders and board members.

I think a vast array of people can do project management. I think what you need to thrive in it is communication and people skills. Those are the most important. Having other administration skills and computer skills is helpful. The technical skills you can always learn, but having the right attitude and soft skills is really important.
