Melbourne Knowledge Week 2017
What’s it like working in a startup
Get an understanding of what it really takes to be part of a startup and small business team. Join a selection of startup and small business owners in an interactive Panel as they share their knowledge on finding the best hires - what they look for in an employee, co-founder, consultant, mentor, intern or advisor.
We will start with an introduction to the opportunities available in Startups and Small Business. Then we will hear from a selection of start ups and small businesses talk about how they select people to work with and hear about the opportunities available in their businesses.
Arrive early for some networking, breakfast and the panel discussions. This will be followed by a tour of the coworking space, then there will be free time to network. Coworking for the day open to audience (places limited based on availability)
This event is supported by Culture Amp, Hired and That Start Up show.
