James Cook University Careers Directory Profiles

As a protégé developer, there is a lot of responsibility to be self-organised and make sure you’re making the most out of the opportunity.

I love seeing campaigns come to life – through the creative process, filming on set or through new product presentations.

I spent my time off working in various coffee shops and going on ski holidays until I finally rediscovered my passion for aviation and returned to uni.

I have learned about the immense breadth and scale of KiwiRail and its contribution to New Zealand and how ‘small’ initiatives can have an extensive impact.

I think a vast array of people can do project management. I think what you need to thrive in it is communication and people skills. Those are the most important. Having other administration skills and computer skills is helpful. The technical skills you can always learn, but having the right attitude and soft skills is really important.
