First times are always memorable, and they’re always a great learning curve.

Although the time since graduation has surely flown by, I can still vividly remember the daunting experience of applying for nearly every possible job listing on Seek, in an attempt to secure my first full-time role.

If you have no idea in the world about who I am (and I don’t blame you), here’s a quick introduction.

Some of my advice, however, is still applicable to all digital professions, so you may still want to tune in.
