Career options

As a Murdoch Management graduate, your employment outlook is good, especially if you combine it with other disciplines. Depending on which skill combinations or specialisations you have, your Murdoch degree may lead you towards work and study opportunities in a number of areas. The following are some professions to consider, including extra majors and minors that will improve your prospects of achieving them.

Convention Services Manger

Convention Services Managers coordinate the activities of various departments in larger hotels to accommodate meetings, conventions, and special events. They meet with representatives of groups or organisations to plan the number of rooms to reserve, the desired configuration of the meeting space, and banquet services. During the meeting or event, they resolve unexpected problems and monitor activities to ensure that hotel operations conform to the expectations of the group.

Office Administrative Support Supervisors and Managers / Administrative Service Managers

Office and Administrative Support Supervisors and Managers often act as liaisons between the administrative support staff and the professional, technical, and managerial staff. This may involve implementing new company policies or restructuring the workflow in their departments. They also must keep their superiors informed of their progress and any potential problems. Often, this communication takes the form of research projects and progress reports. Because supervisors and managers have access to information such as their departments performance records, they may compile and present these data for use in planning or designing new policies.

Public Relations Manager

Public Relations Managers supervise public relations specialists. These managers direct publicity programs to a targeted audience. They often specialise in a specific area, such as crisis management, or in a specific industry, such as health care. They use every available communication medium to maintain the support of the specific group upon whom their organisations success depends, such as consumers, stockholders, or the general public. For example, they may clarify or justify the firms point of view on health or environmental issues to community or special-interest groups. They observe social, economic, and political trends that might ultimately affect the firm, and make recommendations to enhance the firms image on the basis of those trends.
