VOICEOVER: As students, we want to impress employers with even more than our qualification. But how can we prove we have the extra skills employers are looking for?

VISUAL: Image of student’s resume appearing with “Bachelor Degree at RMIT” on first line and a flashing cursor to indicate there are more lines of text to be inserted. A light bulb appears and lights up to indicate a positive idea.

Good news! FUTURE EDGE helps us stand out from the competition.

I love that my off-campus volunteer experience and part-time job are recognised under Future Edge.

VISUAL: Close up of photos of students enjoying university activities, before a phone appears with money and starts ringing/moving. The phone case opens, and displays that “work” is calling.

Officially, Future Edge will be recognised on your transcript. Even better, it will open the door to your future career.

VISUAL: Resume from first shot now has added activities “Bachelor Degree at RMIT” and “FUTURE EDGE”, with dot points implying further achievements gained. Resume folds up and turns into a door with a welcome mat. Close up, hand appears and knocks on door.
