You can still have a decent social life with a cadetship. Keep in mind you won't be granted the full 'college' experience as you'd miss out on a lot of reasons why some people refer to their university years as the best years of their lives. A cadetship means you won't be a poverty stricken...

Yeah, good idea. I'd much rather volunteer experience that exposes me to more social focused activities though. Being quite the hermit with work and study lately.

I'd like to beef up my resume to increase my chances. I figured that having experience from my rural city only might not be recognised as well as experience from Sydney which is why I'm attending the FIFA World Cup Fan Fest in darling harbor as a volunteer (hand out fliers, crowd control, info...

Hi, thanks for your input - hearing that a credit average at a rural university and a cadetship might get me into the Big 4 is really encouraging! WHK is a great firm that is focused on giving their employees a balanced work and play lifestyle. Most people work 7.5 hours to 9 hours in a...

There are much less international students at UNE than there are at Macquarie, UNSW, UTS or USyd (Based on my brief visits to those Sydney universities). My college has about 5 international students, the other 250 or so are Australian raised. I don't think the amount of 'asians' at UNE...

Hi everyone, It seems like a lot of you in this thread are knowledgeable on recruitment in the accounting industry. I was wondering if someone could have a look at my situation and tell me my chances on scoring a good job in the future. I'm currently a 2nd year University of New England...
