I've tried looking at the non-core Eco subjects at uni and they are very very heavy in terms of quantitative work (i.e. lots of maths) and very conceptual-based. It's not like high school eco where you memorise a relatively simple concept and write essays about how it works unfortunately. As...

Apply for vaccy spots and go back to uni for another year (masters/honours/etc)... I heard some people are taking up Comm/Eco at UNSW if they don't get a grad spot with just Comm this year. If your resume needs padding under extra curricular, maybe now's the time to get cracking on joining a...

It wasn't just regarding the fairness/unfairness of recruiting early, but it also helped the firms out with time management and resourcing since in the past, there was always a huge surge in applications at the deadline and then all the HC guys would have to read through applications very...

UAI isn't everything- it's just a good indicator of whether or not you will get into a uni course which is compatible with the cadetship program (i.e. they offer part time/night classes) and are also CA-eligible. Don't put yourself down- but as others have mentioned, you need to be strong in...

It's not so much whether you have extra curricular on your CV or not but rather the skills which you would've developed from being actively involved in those extra curricular things such as leadership, teamwork, time management, delegation, planning, interpersonal skills, etc... all of which are...

Nothing exciting beyond what you'd expect in an office. Stationery, printing, envelopes, and raiding the cookie jar :)

on a sidenote, from what i can see, most of the ppl on cadetships did not get over the 99 UAI mark. whilst some did, and i can name them too, i don't think it's the defining characteristic. the far more important thing is the way they interact with people and have shown that in the past, they...

I think working hours-wise cadets (from my generation at least) used to work a full-time load of 5 days 9-5pm with 4 hours of leave per week to attend classes (not a problem since classes typically went from either 4pm or 5pm onwards gving you plenty of time to relax and get yourself there in...

My thoughts on subject: 1. Removing P plates is less likely to incite potential keying... maybe if you had a really nice Benz or BMW on your red P's, leaving your P's might spark jealousy and a keying? Heck someone keyed my Civic when I first bought it and it wasn't even...

For me it was a Daihatsu Terios (my sister's car) or a Toyota Corolla (instructor). Interesting choice of cars to learn on.

I just happened to stumble upon this on the RTA website.. URL: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/rulesregulations/2008parkinglaws.html?hhid=parking

I suppose on the upside it's better that a new and prospectful grad gets told upfront and early rather than waiting until the start date which never comes.

It's easier to add 'ethics' to a syllabus than to update it to actually reflect the real world.

Definitely- they wouldn't give you such a vague scenario without more detail as to how important the system is, whether it is financially viable to use different implementation methods, purpose of the system, etc... I'm inclined to think for large organisations, pilot is the way to go since...

I think calling it 'leave' is misleading because as a casual, it just means there is no work/shifts. I think PR would probably call it "a break" or something to that effect.

If you have access to past papers or even the textbooks, look up the relevant chapters and physically draw out the tables with sample data inside. Then look for data which seems repetitive as well as data which is unique and that'll get you started on the correct train of thought as to which...

True. Noone signs up for a summer internship for the pay packet. Just to confirm that (AFAIK) vaccies are paid by the hour for every hour they are at work (subject to constraints depending on contract; e.g. maximum hours limit).

I just thought I'd drop quality not quantity guys. You can spend all day reading the Heinemann IPT text book and it won't get you top marks. Best bet is to try and read up on some case studies or practice your bullshitting ability for the scenarios as that's the only real area where you can seek...

If it was me, since I spend 99% of my time sitting in traffic, I'd just do up the sound system since that's the one mod you can actually enjoy as you sit there waiting for traffic lights to change.

I think when I did HSC back in 05, I only used 02-04. If it helps, try reading up on random case studies on the internet. The other thing which I found was good for getting better marks was explaining how it would work in practice- e.g. just mentioning a type of file such as a JPEG is all...
