2. You’re awesome!
Thank you for taking part in the Student Employability
Accelerator Program (SEAP). DJ and I are really impressed
by the commitment and professionalism you have shown in
the program. Good job!
In the next two months, DJ and I will be meeting you
individually to follow up on your employability and
entrepreneurial journey. In the meantime, here are few
things you can do to maximise your SEAP experience.

1. Send a thank you email to your mentor(s)
(And the guests you have met at the pitch event)
4. 2. Add SEAP to your
“Experience” on LinkedIn & CV
If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, create one now!

5. 3. Write a LinkedIn post to
share your experience
(Tag your team, mentor and us too!)
6. 4. Endorse your teammate and/or write
them a recommendation
Send me a message on LinkedIn, I am happy to write
you a recommendation too.
7. 5. Connect me and DJ on LinkedIn
Both DJ and I write articles & posts on LinkedIn and
share employment opportunities there.

8. 6. Reflect on all the challenges you have
faced & success you have made and
write them down
All the reflections and learnings of SEAP can be a big part of
your “local experience" and entrepreneurial journey in Australia.
You can use it for your cover letter, interview or even “small talks”
in networking events.
