Join ANU alumna Natasha Tioukavkin and Max Lowe as they share their experience with the process of applying and getting into the DFAT graduate program. The event will also focus on communicating relevant information on the application process, learning and development during the program, and valuable tips on CV writing to increase your understanding of the recruitment process.
There will be an opportunity for Q&A at the end of the session which will be addressed by DFAT speakers and representatives from the ANU Careers team.
Each year DFAT selects a diverse range of graduates from a variety of disciplines into its graduate program. They are looking for candidates who are curious about the world and interested in taking up a challenge.
The 2-year graduate program will prepare you for a rich and rewarding career with the department, whether your interests are in corporate management or in foreign, trade, or international development policy.
