Did anyone else feel like the 2u Mathematics course was scaled up significantly? Apparently I got 70/100 for my exam mark (I know its terribad), but I literally did not answer about 40 percent of the test (q6+), and I was guessing for about at least a further 10 marks (most of q5). So if they...

Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response I'm not sure whether my response really had it right, the part of the question I was most unfamiliar with was the market research process, I assumed it obviously meant market research like interviews/surveys, looking at figures, etc, but I...

Hi, yet another ATAR estimate thread. Thanks in advance. School rank: 160 Software: 2/4 Maths (2u): 22/53 IPT: 1/12 Business Studies: 11/41 English (Advanced): 26/89 Ancient History: 23/51

Can anybody elaborate a little further on this? Subjets: Maths (2u), English (Adv), Business, Ancient, Software, IPT I am in a school that performs poorly in the HSC, and my ranks in English and Maths are fairly poor (think middle of the grade). I got 43 percent in the trials in maths(dead on...

Re: Easter show job! Yeah, mines on Monday. What exactly does one wear at an 'induction'?

Re: Easter show job! I got a text saying I got it/was on standby and to wait for more info. Haven't gotten any more info yet, though. Hopefully that will happen soon considering this coming weekend is the last weekend before the show starts.

Re: easter show interview I have an interview with them soon too. I was just going to wear like jeans and a polo shirt, nothing fancy or anything.

Eh? What's wrong with the pineapple? It's just like the tinned stuff you would buy at the supermarket. Our store I think uses Goulburn Valley is it? It's definitely a brand name. And toasted twisters, what's wrong with those? Just twisters that are toasted. It's just diced tomato. I'm confused...

I don't really find it that gross. Then again I suppose you become desensitized to the methods KFC uses to cook food. What's so gross about how we cook the wicked wings? KFC is known because we cook real chicken (as opposed to mcdonalds, for example, who cook processed chicken which already...

Re: Easter show job! I got my interview, and am hoping that 2 years of experience in the fast food industry with cash handling and customer service will pull me through. I'd really love to do it.

Good point. I'm mainly concerned that questions which have a fairly defined set of answers are being stretched to the limits as far as subjectivity goes. I would put forward that there should be a line drawn between those who have studied from the textbook and the syllabus, and those who are...

Hi, I was wondering about experiences people might have had with the way teachers run a subject, and how that differs from external examinations such as the HSC. In previous years, I haven't really paid attention to whether my teacher was doing the job well, and how it related to the school...

Since mine's on the 29th and yours is on the 28th, you can fill me in on what sort of questions they ask, right? Thanks :D

Yep, just got the email and confirmed. Hope I get it. Is yours a group interview too?

I'm going to wait one or two more days (figure I'll go with a technical definition of 'early march' being up to around 12th). I'll email them a follow up after that. I'm pretty keen for the job :)

Hi They said they would contact me with information on how to arrange an interview in 'early March'. They still haven't contacted me, I'm beginning to think they aren't going to :(

OMFG did you even read my post from before? You are a casual employee. They can tell you they won't give you shifts for 6 months, then after that they can give you 6 shifts a week. You don't get a say, they can do what they want. Have another fucking whinge. Picture this: You are a manager...

My store has fired people for that

Well you just have to keep your head about you, and pick your battles. If they ask you to do lots of work in a short space of time that's just something they tend to do, if you try and end up not being able to do it all in time, they won't fire you over it. But if you argue them to death over it...

I've worked there for 2 years. If managers tell you to pick up chicken off the floor and put it back on the tray, you are perfectly within your right to just say no. They will not get you in any real trouble for wasting contaminated chicken (short of calling you a pussy). In every workplace you...
