Interview Prep Melbourne

From IT Career in Australia

Smashing! Try something new Thursday Interactive reality workshop - Tonight learn secrets to gain not just confidence but super-confidence. Confidence makes everything easier, use it to excel not only when on the stage, but in everyday life Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best** Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs? Just two member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so it’s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and we can lose the energy/commercial feel. SmashSpeak's vibe's in the sweet spot." "At other clubs I used to listen to long speeches and lectures, here we get so many chances to talk every meeting, that we have to improve" **Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets **IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts** “Proudly Australian" – Free-flowing teamwork, greater good focus, sharing the stage, etc Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St (Opposite Queen Vic Market) Level 1, PURPLE Room (End of corridor) More to come...

Reading the Tea Leaves: Developing Product Sense

Wed, Jul 22, 8:00 AM

From Southbank Toastmasters

A lot of the time, product management can feel like the art of predicting the future. With incomplete data, lots of competing priorities, and stakeholders that always want to have a say, it can be challenging to make a call on what to do next. Building your product sense is a way to make sense of the madness. We'll explore what product sense is, how you actually apply it at work, and ways to develop yours. We'll run through some real examples of using product sense to make hard decisions, pass hiring tasks, and ultimately ship better products faster. **Our Speaker** Maxy Lotherington is the Head of Product & Design at InvestorHub, where she leads a team of product managers and designers. She's spent 10+ years designing impactful digital experiences, scaling product teams, and learning lots every day.

Find Your Personality Match - Make Friends (Age group: 25-45))

Sun, Jul 12, 5:00 AM

4.4

🌟 **A new one-on-one, personality-based connection experience** Many of you have been asking about structured events and if I’d ever bring them back. Well… here it is - a new version, more intentional, and built around something I care about : **matching people based on personality.** Over the years, I’ve seen how hard it can be to find people you truly click with as adults. Small talk goes nowhere, and most events don’t give you the space for real conversation. 💫 **What to Expect** This is not speed dating, and it’s not a big mixer. It’s a curated, one-on-one connection experience where you’ll meet a few people who’ve been matched to you based on personality and vibe. Expect: * A cosy, comfortable venue * A hosted structure so you’re never left awkwardly standing around * A series of guided one-on-one conversations * A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself * This is not dating focused event, there will be a seperate one for dating Each conversation is designed to feel natural — because the match is based on compatibility Get your tickets here - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1992299273759?aff=oddtdtcreator 🧭 **Before the Event** Once you get your Eventbrite ticket, you’ll receive a **short personality test (If you have already taken the test at a previous event you don't need to do it again)**. It takes only a few minutes but helps us understand your communication style, energy, and compatibility factors. This is how we curate meaningful one-on-one pairings for the event. 🌿 **Come Join Us** If you’re tired of small talk and ready to meet people who truly fit your personality, this is for you. A warm, intentional space created for deeper conversations and genuine chemistry - whether it becomes friendship, something romantic, or just a surprisingly great chat. RSVP now — spots are kept limited to ensure quality one-on-one time.

Tops, Middles, and a Pile of Cats

Tue, Jul 21, 7:30 AM

From Tech Leading Ladies

4.8

In a 40-minute simulation, Elle was handed a company: three managers, eight workers, one absurd mission: draw as many good cat stick figures as possible. She went in wanting a flat, humane, consultative culture. Within minutes, she was issuing orders, following rules she had the power to change, accidentally making her managers invisible, and feeling strangely alone in her "office." None of it was a personal failing. It was the system doing what systems do, and it's been documented for decades. This talk uses the wreckage (and the surprisingly tender moments) of a simulated company to explore why our positions shape us more than our intentions do, why "just have fun" can raise anxiety instead of lowering it, and what it actually takes to hold steady for a team under pressure. You don't need a title for any of this to be true of you. The system was shaping her, and it's probably also shaping you. You will leave with three questions to sit with and test your own experience against. **Agenda (time in Melbourne/AEST)** * 5:30pm Networking * 6:00pm Welcome * 6:05pm Main Presentation * 6:35pm Q&A * 7:00pm Networking * 7:30pm Close **This will be a HYBRID event:** **Zoom link -** will be posted 1hr before event starts. **Our Speaker** **Elle Meredith** Elle is a software engineer with many years of consulting experience, leading projects and teams. She is a certified organisational coach. Elle completed a post-grad certificate in Psychology for Business and Management at Curtin University, and is currently completing her master’s in Leadership and Management (Organisation Dynamics) with NIODA. At Blackmill, she advises executives and technology leaders on effective engineering practices that scale.
