Oscar's Experience as a Qantas Graduate
Why did you choose the Qantas Graduate Program?
The program offered a diverse range of experiences and the duration of 2 years was an attractive one. I felt this would mean I could develop a lot and find out what I enjoy, without being rushed.
Tell us about the Rotations you worked in. Were there any key highlights?
Working in the Member & Program team within Qantas Loyalty. At the time, the Qantas Frequent Flyer Program was undergoing its biggest changes since its inception. I was lucky enough to be part of the analytics team helping investigate the number of classic reward seats available to members, which was being increased. One of the numbers I pulled ended up being used by the Marketing team and was put on huge billboards and advertisements around the airport which was very cool to see.
How was your development supported as a Qantas Graduate?
Being supported was always a priority in each of the teams I was in. Not only is your direct manager very welcoming but you also have your team, buddy and mentor. Most importantly though, your fellow Grad peers are the biggest support you will get during your time on the program and they will also become some of your best mates!
What was your biggest misconception about working for an airline?
That staff travel is the best perk of all time! As a Grad make the most of it, go away on weekends and explore Australia and other countries. It is an absolute privilege being able to rock up to the airport and choose a destination.
Advice for those looking to apply for the Qantas Graduate Program?
Just be yourself and be different. I’ve found that being unique helps you stand out and often different points of view help shape discussions in the business.
