THE PITCH is a YouTube video competition run by Careers Central which aims to get UOW students involved in the Graduate Recruitment Season “MADMEN” style. In a nutshell it gives you, our students, the opportunity to pitch yourself to graduate employers. It also allows you to find out what they are looking for in potential employees. You never know you may just end up landing the job of your dreams.
