Which firm is it again? TBH in the current climate anything is worth taking- and at least in assurance you get the opportunity to learn skills which can be transferred elsewhere easily. Don't worry about not getting a specialisation- it just means you'll get put in the division which has the...

Maybe you didn't realise this but the way you/your peers spoke of you made it sound like you were reasonably confident that you would be OFFERED such cadetships/scholarships and hence have the option to pick and choose. I know it's not something you can actively manage/control but just the...

Maybe it's my misunderstanding but whether it was in this thread or another, you gave off the vibe that you were reasonably confident in having a lot of options in terms of cadetships/scholarships to choose from. Either way, I take back any offensiveness you may have received from this as it's...

Wow that's really really short. I've never heard of anything like that for vacation programs. You sure it's not a development/preview program?

1. No, Commerce is normally a 3 year course. It's only 4 years if you are doing a cadetship because your 1st year of full-time uni is converted into part time. That is, normally you would do 4 subjects per semeser, and over two semesters that's 8 subjects per year. Under a cadetship you are...

Meh good luck finding someone then. I would've just typed the question out anyway (as part of doing homework) as it's a good way to make sure you read the whole thing.

You signed up to BoS just to ask a question from a textbook which 99% of the people who are probably able (and willing) to help you don't have access to? lols. (in other words, post up the question)

Sorry I still have no idea what you're talking about in the first two lines above...? Keep in mind there is a difference between 'course', 'subject' and 'major'. Accounting in itself is a major not a course (at least at UNSW, USYD and UTS; exception again being the UTS Accounting...

I don't understand what you meany by a waste of a year or so? To be eligible for a Commerce degree for example, you need to complete a certain number of UOC (units of credit). Each normal subject is worth 6UOC but there are some which are only worth 3 (i.e. the easy online ones). From memory I...

By default no. It is presumed that you are going to be returning to the same division you started off in because they are the ones who paid for your grant and any additional training costs. That being said if you want to do a transfer, you'll need to speak to your counsellor within the firm who...

AFAIK they are the only ones who openly encourage it. Other firms can be negotiated with if you receive an offer.

I'm not a coop so I could be wrong here... but here goes! Basically your degree is stretched into 4 years (from 3) and throughout those 4 years are 3 '6-month' industrial placements where you work. Normally you do 4 subjects per semester at uni when doing full time uni, but during your...

I'm not sure to be honest what the difference is- I've always presumed that the difference was that Commerce enabled you to pick Economics as one of your majors, whereas if you do an Economics degree you had no choice and had to have it as one of your majors. Both cases however require you to...

Before I begin, I really do support the cadetship program and think it's a great way to learn and work simultaneously as you learn heaps and can directly apply it to your everyday work. But that being said, it's a huge commitment and not something to be taken lightly. Lyounamu, look, I...

I can't emphasise this enough though- even though cadetships seem full of glamour with the nice office, business cards, freebies, lunches, clients, suits, leather folders, free laptops with wireless cards, dinner parties, taxis, corporate credit cards, corporate phones, etc... it is still a full...

Tip to people in general; don't try to second-guess things like how long it should take to get a reply or what are your chances as a % of getting in, etc... all it does is make you more nervous and doesn't necessarily improve anything. :)

Re: BRW Top 100 Accounting Firms 2007 next year's should be interesting!

What makes him so good? If he isn't willing to be genuinely committed to the program, then nothing else really matters. Working full time and then having to go to uni at night, and maybe even have more work to do after that, is not an easy thing to manage especially if you don't genuinely care...

Is it just me or is Uniwide starting to get pretty slow nowadays? It was faster before... sigh.

Dude why would you apply if you have absolutely no intention of taking it seriously? All it does is waste our time and if you do get in, it denies someone else an opportunity which they would have been grateful for, and made the most out of it. Remember you need to sign and accept the contract...
