RUPA’s Official Recruitment Partner, Robert Walters, recently presented a career development series for the NSW Waratahs players, spanning three sessions at NSW Rugby Union Headquarters.

The sessions included:

  • Beyond the Field: Soft Skills and Networking
  • Own Brand and Marketing Yourself
  • CV Writing and LinkedIn: Building Your Professional Presence

The Robert Walters team, consisting of Andrew Hanson, Robert Kruger, Alison Newsome, Sarah Gillard and Dan Connors, provided actionable strategies to equip players for a successful transition into the job market after their rugby careers. Within the sessions included information on personal branding, networking, interviewing, CV writing, and LinkedIn, giving players a comprehensive toolkit to begin crafting their professional profiles while still active in their sports careers.

"It was a privilege to be part of the career development sessions with the NSW Waratahs. It’s been great to see some of the players already taking actionable steps towards building their professional profiles and networks. We’re excited to see what’s next for these talented individuals and look forward to continuing our support throughout their career journeys."

-Andrew Hanson, Managing Director - NSW

Waratahs player, Archer Holz (#1711), attended the sessions and said:

“The recent professional development sessions with Robert Walters were an excellent chance for us as players to take a look at life outside of rugby and start planning for our next career stage. The Robert Walters staff were super helpful and informative giving us a better perspective on how we can maximise our platform as players and understand the value we can offer as professional athletes. I personally cannot thank Andrew and the team enough and look forward to connecting with them in the future to continue to develop and grow.”

-Archer Holz (Waratah #1711)
