"When I participated in the class on the first day, I felt that I was in the right place with all the other professionals sharing the same feelings and problems - we managed to solve most of these problems by the end of the course with the great OQP team's help." Nurten

"The course was very useful to get to know about the Australian job market by receiving updated information from experts who helped me to be successful during my work placement. What I liked most about the course was the conversations between the teachers and students- it was amazing that I regained my confidence. I would strongly recommend the OQP course to all eligible applicants." Fred

"The OQP course taught me several valuable things that I needed as a new migrant.

I learned about Australian work culture: how to land a job and retain that job, resume preparation, addressing key selection criteria, interview techniques and relating with officemates.

I learned about Australian culture and became more sensitive and aware of other cultures as well.

Most importantly, I learned to be compassionate to other people who were experiencing the same difficulties that I was facing. It was amazing how each one of us was there for the other: to reassure, to support or just simply to listen.

It was a truly enriching experience for me and I hope all new qualified professional migrants have the same opportunity. " Maria

"I feel the course is useful to learn many things about the Australian work place culture and to get exposure to the job market in Australia.

I was applying for too many jobs before without any understanding of the selection procedure of jobs, presentation of resumes and ways of approaching employers. But when I came out of the course I had a complete understanding of all the above.

It is hard to say which is part of the course is the most useful as I learnt many things throughout the course each and everyday. But I can prioritise resume preparation and interviewing classmates who are more experienced than me as the most useful for me.

I recommend this course to those who want to find a job desperately and they should have faith in themselves." Kumar
