Manukau Institute of Technology Careers Directory Profiles

I have been so lucky in my education throughout my life. Without it I would be a completely different person, and seeing such a concrete (sometimes literally) symbol of access to education for someone is genuinely wonderful to me.

The best thing about my job is being able to turn insights into execution with real results.

Everyone at Foodstuffs is extremely supportive and will take time out of their day to help train you especially interns and graduates.

Diversify yourself and allow personal experimentation and flexibility. Refuse to conform to stereotypes or expectations: go against the grain and be unique.

I’m currently working in the Public Sector industry where DXC supports critical applications for several large government agencies. Here I am given a front row seat to witness the positive impact DXC has on our customers and the wider New Zealand Community.

The programme gives you the chance to try so many different roles that you wouldn’t get to normally do.

One thing that drew me to applying for the graduate programme at Contact is that they offer specialised work in some very unique places. For me, the ability to live in Central Otago on the Clutha River comes with the benefits of skiing, biking, surfing, hiking, all in some very sweet scenery. 

Bravely try new things. To accumulate experience in continuous attempts. Never be afraid and resist new things, because most likely you will have fun and find satisfaction in them.
