Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the ACS (Australian Computer Society) End of Year SA Forum for Professionals, an event that brought together industry leaders and professionals in our community.
It was an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow ACS members and to hear from the esteemed Prof Denis C. Bauer, GAICD (Group Lead at CSIRO).
Her talk on "Leveraging IT for Biomedical Breakthroughs" was both insightful and thought-provoking. She reminded us all of the power of innovation and the importance of pushing boundaries, even in the face of challenges.
As we approach the end of the year, I'm reminded of the ongoing need to innovate and think strategically. Her message served as a call to action for all of us to continue forging ahead in our respective fields with a forward-thinking mindset.
One quote that always resonates with me, and which was also shared during the event, is Warren Buffet’s saying: "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."
For me, this quote is not just about financial success, it’s about creating sustainable value in all areas of our lives. Whether it’s building relationships, investing in personal growth, or establishing systems that provide long-term benefits, the key is to work smarter, not harder. It’s a reminder to design our lives and careers in a way that keeps us moving forward, even when we’re not actively working.
As a proud ACS Board Member and Honorary Treasurer for SA, I would also like to extend my gratitude to my fellow board members, our SA Branch Manager Andrew Haste, our SA Member Services and Events Manager Jean Mui, our Professional Partner Program members, and all our members for your continued support throughout this year.
It’s been an honour to work alongside such dedicated individuals, and I look forward to another year of collaboration and growth!

You may have heard about personal branding, turns out it is far more important than what you may have thought.
It is ultimately your personal brand that can sometimes determine whether a potential employer "trusts" you enough to offer you an opportunity.
#jobs#careeradvice#personalbrand
Struggling to get noticed by employers? This might be holding you back…
Personal branding could be your secret weapon!
It’s not just about what you know, but how you present yourself to potential employers and your industry. As Jeff Bezos famously said, “Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room,” and this is especially true for international students and graduates eager to land their dream job.
In today’s competitive market, employers want candidates with skills, but also those who stand out.
So, ask yourself: Why should this employer choose me over someone else?
A strong personal brand showcases your strengths and unique abilities. It builds trust, gets you noticed, and creates a positive impression—often before you even have an interview.
Here’s how to start building yours today:
- Polish your LinkedIn: Craft a compelling headline and summary.
- Showcase your projects: Especially on Github or your professional portfolio.
- Engage in your industry: Share insights, comment on trends, and build your network.
Make sure that when employers look you up, they see someone passionate, knowledgeable, and ready to add value.
If this resonates with you but you’re unsure where to start, let’s connect. I’d love to help you on your career journey.
Never underestimate the power of an internship..
Elliott Hill, Nike’s incoming CEO, started as an intern and worked his way up to the top. His story proves that an internship is not just a stepping stone, it can be the foundation of an extraordinary career.
For university students and graduates, this is your reminder.. every opportunity counts! It’s about showing up, working hard, and staying curious. You never know who’s watching or where that first step might lead. It all starts with the first step.
Having helped thousands of students and graduates in their career journeys, one thing definitely stood out for me, those who take their careers seriously often land their dream jobs or something even better. It’s not just about getting that first role; it’s about where it leads.
Consistency, dedication, and a growth mindset can open doors to unexpected opportunities, leadership roles, and remarkable milestones.
If Elliott can go from intern to CEO, imagine where you could go!

Yesterday, while we were shooting, I had the chance to meet one of our clients, Mustafa Kadir
Turnsed out, he’s one of the best coaching experts I’ve come across.
Through knowledge sharing, I was able to grasp some of the finest insights about how conversations, when rooted in honesty and openness to learning, can naturally evolve into meaningful relationships.
A reminder that the most impactful connections often stem from authentic dialogue.

It is sad to see international students being blamed for the housing crisis by political parties ahead of the federal election, when the problem is actually much more complex.
It turns out the suburbs with the most international students actually have above-average rental vacancy rates.
"Universities Australia estimates that since the federal government started cracking down on overseas students last year, the economy has already taken a $4.3 billion economic hit and 14,000 jobs have been lost."
"The impact of students on the housing market has been heavily contested. In May, one report found that international students made up only 4 per cent of the rental market, while another found the housing crisis would exist even if there were zero international students in the country."
Both political parties need to do better and take accountability while actively working on a viable solution. Targeting something which is a significant contributor to our economy is probably not a smart idea and even if it fixed your one big problem you'd really need to think about all the other problems it's going to create as a consequence.
Remember, maintaining a professional image, having a positive mindset and always being confident are keys to success.
Key takeaway: believe you can and you will 💯
I had a stellar of a time last night presenting to our ACS (Australian Computer Society) emerging professional members, alongside Ben Pearson.
It was an incredible experience to discuss the power of personal branding and networking, and how platforms like #LinkedIn can help build trust with industry.
I shared some secrets that my clients at Visgrow Internships have used to land top IT roles, and to some people's surprise it's not all to do with technical skills you possess but more to do with your attitude and confidence!
To everyone who attended, I hope you walked away feeling motivated and inspired. Remember, maintaining a professional image, having a positive mindset and always being confident are keys to success. Believe you can and you will.
Thank you Andrew Haste, Jean Mui and Y Suites for hosting such a vibrant and engaging event and to Lex Raj Shylaja for being a fantastic MC.
