“My reccommendations for future candidates would be attend the assessment day and get invloved as much as possible."   Amanda completed her degree at the Auckland University of Technology majoring in Accounting and after a few years of travelling decided to settle and begin her career in Australia. Shortly after arriving and searching for employment, she found out through friends about ProGrad.     Applying online, Amanda didn’t expect to here back from ProGrad so quickly, nevertheless within a week she had passed their first stage telephone interview and was lined up to attend an assessment day.     Although nervous, Amanda performed competently in all aspects of the assessment day and as a consequence was successful. The very next morning Amanda was contacted by a ProGrad employee. They offered her a job interview at the well-known Australian FMCG organisation, Kimberly-Clark. Amanda couldn’t let such a great opportunity slide so she accepted immediately.   Within a year of working at Kimberly-Clark Amanda has completed four training modules and as a result has progressed quickly in her role.   “I can not speak more highly of this course and the facilitator who ran the program. It covered a vast array of topics in an open forum which allowed all of us to feel comfortable to express our opinions and questions. I found it beneficial having started work and being able to relate the information to experiences I had encountered in the workplace thus far.” Amanda, ProGrad Graduate.
