// Humans of AMPed // ⁣ This week the spotlight is on AMPed's Postgraduate students! International QUT Master of Business (IMC) student @tonylumicao is striking the balance between uni and life, AND he's only been in Australia for 9 months! 👋👌🌞⁣ #HumansofAMPed #AMPed #Postgraduate #internationalstudent ⁣ ⁣ 👉 Tells us a bit about yourself? //⁣ Hi! I’m Anthony and I’m currently in my second semester at QUT studying Master of Business, Major in Integrated Marketing Communication⁣ ⁣ 👉What exciting things have you been up to? //⁣ I just started tutoring some undergraduate marketing students in QUT’s Keystone of Success program by day and regularly exercising by running along the Brisbane river at night. Striking the balance in my studies has always been my thing - giving back to others and taking care of myself.⁣ ⁣ 👉How did you get to where you are now? //⁣ I guess persistence got me through all these milestones. I worked for a couple of years in a market research firm back home. It immersed me in a lot of data mining for evidence-based and insightful research. I think the grit I acquired from my previous job prepared me well for studies abroad as an international student.⁣ ⁣ 👉What has AMPed done for you? //⁣ AMPed has given me that balance. The coffee catch-ups, the interesting breakfast talks, as well as discounts on movie tickets! ⁣ ⁣ 👉 The future? //⁣ Well, the most certain thing in life is uncertainty and change so I’m very much keen on being surprised by what the future holds! Exploring the rest of Australia is definitely in my bucket list!
// Humans of AMPed // ⁣⁣ 1st Year student @sas.harp enjoying being a part of AMPed family! 👌😚#1styearkillingit #HumansofAMPed #AMPed ⁣⁣#AMPedfamily⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 👉 Tells us a bit about yourself? //⁣⁣ Hi! I’m Saskia, an eager first year at QUT studying a Bachelor of Communication majoring in Advertising and PR.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 👉What exciting things have you been up to? //⁣⁣ Since graduating high school, I have been enjoying the freedom of being a uni student; Balancing uni, working at a clothing boutique, attending events and of course, daily yoga!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 👉How did you get to where you are now? //⁣⁣ When something inspires me, I take a note of it. The way brands market an idea has always interested me. So, I began to dream of a career in Advertising, where I can hopefully make positive difference through advertisements! Becoming a part of the AMPed community only seemed right.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 👉What has AMPed done for you? //⁣⁣ Amped has welcomed me by offering bountiful opportunities! From Coffee Catch-up’s to Industry speed dating, AMPed has introduced me to some incredible people! Thankyou AMPed 🤩⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 👉 The future? //⁣⁣ Looking into my crystal ball, I see myself taking on exciting opportunities, such as internships, travel and making new connections 🔮
// Humans of AMPed //⁣ Incredible 2nd Year AMPed student @anthony_di_carlo is out here setting #goals 👌😚 Student, founder of his own business and all-round champion! #HumansofAMPed #killingit #AMPed ⁣ ⁣ 👉 Tells us a bit about yourself? //⁣ Hey guys, I’m Anthony! I am a photography-loving, coffee-addicted, small business owner who is currently in my 2nd year of Business, majoring in Marketing and Integrated Marketing Communications. ⁣ ⁣ 👉What exciting things have you been up to? //⁣ When I’m not drowning in full-time study, I’m a part-time Marketing-Coordinator for GO Industrial - a small industrial start-up. We’re a young company, but there’s something really rewarding about watching a company grow and getting to learn the ins-and-outs of how to run a successful business. I’ve also recently started my own small business, Altitude Designs. Altitude is a creative project I started with the hopes of helping small businesses grow. It’s mainly focused around photography, digital and print media and website design. ⁣ Although it’s only early days for the company, it’s been an awesome experience where I’ve gotten to meet a range of fantastic people and was even able to do some fun, casual photography for a small clothing company when I travelled to Thailand last year.⁣ ⁣ 👉How did you get to where you are now? //⁣ I think it helps being a little OCD, but I always strive put in 110% and maintain a high work ethic. Being consistent and confident in the quality of work you do will help others be confident with what you do. ⁣ But I also think a huge part of building a successful career is networking. It really is ‘who you know’ just as much as ‘what you know’. Putting yourself out there leads to some incredible things. You can learn a lot from other people but you can also form some great connections. For instance, a lot of my clients for Altitude are people I’ve met at events, previous employments and even some people I’ve met at QUT.⁣ ⁣ 👉What has AMPed done for you? //⁣ It’s can be a little daunting joining new groups and I’ve only been involved with AMPed for a short time now but it has been amazing and such a welcoming community. AMPed has already allowed me to mee
// DESIGN THINK WORKSHOP // We’re partnering with @qutcea to bring this Design Think Workshop for Innovators and Disruptors to you! 💡 It’s time to spruce up your resume with those creative problem solving skills employees are looking for 👀 This workshop will run you through 5 stages of design thinking to get you to apply this methodology to a real world problem! ✨ For more information check out the event on our Facebook page - make sure you snag a ticket before they sell out!
// Important Announcement // Exciting news for AMPed's 2019 President @mackenziegeeves who moved to Sydney last weekend to start a graduate internship with iTunes ✈️🎶👌 #killingit #girlboss #nextSteveJobs #HumansofAMPed #AMPedAlumni 👉 What exciting things have you been up to? //⁣⁣ Hey there, I am a marketing and design obsessed 21 year old who just packed up and moved down to Sydney to start a graduate internship with iTunes. I studied Marketing and Interactive and Visual Design at QUT in Brisbane and was lucky to be apart of AMPed for 2 years. 👉What will you miss most about AMPed? //⁣⁣ What I’ll miss most about AMPed is hanging out with people with the same interests as me! I always love to be around people who challenge my opinions and help me think about things in new ways! 👉 Advice for other students? // My best advice for other students is to do what makes you happy. Cut out the things in your life that you dread (if you can), because at the end of the day I judge my success on my happiness and continued love for life. Also, get as much experience as you can in your field! Whether that’s paid or free, it all counts. 👉How did you get to where you are now?⁣⁣ I think I got to where I am now by having a strong work ethic, the kind where people know they can ask you to do something important and you’ll get it done. I also think I put myself out there as much as I could to get experience in my areas of interest by volunteering at events and getting internships, this really helped me decide what I wanted to do for my career post-uni and helped put me in front of candidates with less experience! But most importantly, a positive attitude and contagious enthusiasm is what helped me build strong relationships with my peers and leaders 👉 The future?⁣⁣ To me the future looks like living and working in Sydney for now, exploring everything the city has to offer and networking the hell out of the next 12 months!
// Humans of AMPed // @yasmine_e #HumansofAMPed #AMPedAlumni 👉 Tell us a bit about yourself? // Hey everyone! My name is Yas and I was the AMPed VP in 2018 prior to that I was the Editor and Marketing Director. If I had to pick 4 words to best describe my spending habits it would be travel, food, music and gifts. 👉 What exciting things have you been up to? // After completing my degree at QUT I began working at Tanda – an awesome QUT founded start-up here in Brisbane. Tanda was a fab place to learn and put your newly developed skills to the test. I highly recommend gaining experience in the start-up space within Brisbane, there is so much to learn and so many inspirational people to meet! I am now working for Expedia Group an Online Travel Agency founded in the US. Expedia has over 24 brands including Wotif and Hotels.com with offices in over 14 countries. I also started my post graduate studies however have put them on pause to enjoy working life. 👉 What has AMPed done for you?// Joining AMPed was hands down one of the best decisions I made at uni… along with my exchange to Copenhagen. AMPed’s benefits are multifaceted beginning with having an amazing team of people all aiming to give our student cohort the best possible uni life experience. Everyone in AMPed volunteers their time, energy and ideas to the society and that in itself is amazing. Outside of this AMPed teaches you time management skills, problem solving skills and gives you the opportunity to meet and hear from some of Brisbane’s biggest and brightest students, people and companies. 👉 Advice for other students? // The more you put in the more you get out! I believe this in every area of life and especially at uni. Do as much as you can to build your network, experiences and make the most of your lecturers they have so much to offer! I also believe in learning things and meeting people who challenge your way of thinking, every time I have been forced to do this is when I have grown the most and I now actively make an effort find these experiences. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to catch up 😊
