Re: Workshop - Improving Your Cadetship/Intern/Grad Applications (Expression of inter Sounds like a great initiative. Hopefully people take this up as these workshops can be a real value add for individuals.

LOL a mate of mine just sold his very old R33 GTS-T... too late now though.

Moved the thread to Buy/Sell. As someone who was looking to rent a property (signed the docs last night in fact), it might be a good idea to provide some pictures and a map to help prospectful tenants to better understand what you're advertising.

Also I'd recommend Op consider the importance of features like iPhone/Android banking, NFC support, the quality of the website, etc... typically the Big 4 banks are great for that, and the bits where they're usually not as great of fees or interest return is less applicable if you're a student...

You'd be surprised how often the topic of formals/proms/etc comes up in everyday conversation when you're ten years out of high school. I personally didn't think it would matter but surprisingly it does come up.

I'd also be conscious of who is doing the interviews. Different people have very different objectives.

Suit and tie is what I would expect. Unless your school uniform is sharp (e.g. blazer, tie, long trousers, etc) I would recommend a suit and tie. Maybe lose the tie if it's an extremely hot day though. Even though interviews may not consciously say it matters, in my opinion, it impacts the way...

I think you'll regret not going to it later in life when people ask you about how your formal was. I also found that end of year 12 where everyone sortof unites over HSC is a chance to finish up high school on a positive note with people whom you may cross paths with again in the future. That...

For the price of my Merc and Evo combined (brand new driveaway), I can't even afford a Corolla here.

I love it when candidates (in an interview) tell me they read the AFR.

sold my merc before i moved to singapore. It's depressing seeing a LOT of nice cars here everywhere.

I currently watch other people who drive lots of nice cars as I sit on the bus/train.

It's not the removal of the cabins which make it feel discount to me but both their cabin comfort and their pricing structure is more akin to a discount/budget carrier. e.g. if you want a drink you need to order it using the touchscreen and swipe your credit card, no included baggage (and very...

There used to be one in construction/project management but not sure it's still available.

Yeah, I think so. In my case I've just been doing SYD/WLG and SYD/AKG lately which are both discount fares.

Depends on which lounge. I was reasonably happy in Auckland though even though it was quite basic cuisine choices.

For what it's worth though (and I agree with everything enoilgram said), I was surprised that in applying for a work permit overseas I was asked to provide transcripts. This was both when I worked in the states and in Singapore- whether or not my marks made a difference I'll never know but it...

Air New Zealand to me is a discount carrier now with their pricing tiers and strategy. That being said I had a free upgrade to the works (their top tier of economy) because I complained before but it really felt just like the bare bones economy discount carrier with unlimited access to orders of...

Just flew Singapore airlines last week and I remember why I love their food. The western breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausages and tomato could've been a mess but surprisingly they were good- the eggs were fluffy and tasty and didn't feel microwaved. The pork noodles which my fiancé had were...

Agreed- where does your interest lie? The two fields are quite different although there are some common areas. At the end of the day though, if you seriously would drop actuarial upon receiving the cadetship, then go ahead and apply- and make it very clear that's your intention. That being said...
