Paul Slezak, a prominent figure in the advertising and recruiting industry around the world, gave a wonderful career workshop about how to make yourself stand out in today's competitive market. The seminar room for this workshop was incredibly packed, by Golden Key members and general students and even university staff and all eagerly listened to Paul's wise words about how to promote yourself through the tools available to you.
This was one of the last events Golden Key Macquarie hosted for the year 2009, held on 3rd November during lunchtime. Catering was provided by U@MQ and all the food was polished off before the seminar had even begun! As the crowd settled down, Paul chatted easily among the guests and once his talk was on the way, the room fell silent as they listened to Paul's expert advice.
All who attended took notes on Paul's presentation and some even stayed behind to ask questions to the guest speaker. We hope that the workshop helped every person who listened in and maybe make the task of finding a job in today's world just a bit easier!

Speednetworking/Trivia
After months of orchestrating logistics and fiddling with the details, Golden Key Macquarie were about to hold their first Speednetworking night that would presumably end up in creating teams for the answering of academia-themed trivia. So during the lead up hours on Thursday, October 22, the executive of Golden Key Macquarie were seen rushing madly around to change the desks into a networking layout, creating a jovial ambience, laying out the free pizza and snacks and basically having a great time. But the night had yet to begin.
And when the night did start, the mingling occurred, the music played and once trivia teams were created, tables were filled and pens were at the ready. The questions were fired by the two hosts of the night and novelty rounds were interjected as a fun break between the harder questions. The novelty rounds were a big hit (as the questions were much easier!) and many points were allocated to each team, with the team aptly named 'Yeah!' winning in a very close tallied race.
Each member of the winning team was given free movie passes and the other participants were awarded goodie bags just for attending. Throughout the night, a raffle for a luggage set was held and at the end of the night, one lucky winner walked away with the prize.
And as new friends waved goodbye and exchanged contact details, the executive still working tirelessly began to clean up and breathe a sigh of relief for another successful Golden Key event.

Galston Gardens
Yes, an unimaginable morning for many a university student but at 7am 16th October, Golden Key volunteers were seen bleary eyed and entering the Galston club, ready to serve with a ready smile.
Galston Gardens is a charity event, raising money for various charities in the local community. Every year Golden Key participates to serve tea and scones lathered with cream and jam to patrons whilst getting the Golden Key name out there.
This year the rush was on during 9am-10am, whilst early tea and coffee drinkers poured into the club, Golden Key volunteers quickly worked to serve promptly, setting up dishes, taking drink orders, cleaning up and, after the pace slowed, snuck a scone or two for energy's sake. The adrenalin of this transient waiting-upon was admittedly very fun and all the while knowing money was being raised for charities.
Golden Key will receive a portion of the donations and this will be donated to Schoolwise, a literacy charity that Golden Key have been supporting for years.
