Just became 2IC at a Safeway Petrol... woo.

You're not technically required to have it, but a lot of establishments will want you to have it.

Start looking at ads for places to rent, attend the open days and then they will give you application forms to fill out. You'll need references (past flatmates, managers at work or even your parents I guess). If successful, the real estate agency will call you up to come and sign the lease...

Yeah, the low income earners offset pretty much bumps it up to an unofficial level of 15,000.

Yeah, salary sacrificing. They pay it from your gross pay, so the money you've earnt that you haven't paid tax on yet.

I'm guessing it's because he's nearing the end of his engineering course, so it would be related somewhat.

What I'd reccomend you do is take the gap year, but for the first 6 or so months, work flat out, save up as much money as possible ie. 10+ grand. Then for the 2nd half, head over to France and you no doubt visit other countries while over there too. If money isn't an issue, ignore me.

Shocking :P

Just received a reply from the HR Officer saying that they'd be really keen to interview me for a number of assistant manager positions coming up in Petrol. Seems like a decent stepping stone.

Haha, you'd pull your hair out at a petrol station. "Why is the Safeway petrol one down the road cheaper than the one here?" and then look at me like I'm meant to be like "Oh yeah, sorry, I'll just adjust it for you!" Ugh.

Call them.

Just emailed the HR officer enquiring about any possibility of furthering my career with Woolworths. Will talk to my manager soon enough. Fingers crossed.

I work at the Safeway Petrol which is opposite the supermarket at Benton's Square. Store 3412 I think... Apparently they do pretty well. Not sure on figures though, I might ask.

I also work at a bar/pool hall: - If you are under age, don't beg me to let you play "just one game" - No, I'm not going to give you free drinks - Don't complain about the quality of the cues, if you're such a serious player, buy your own! - Don't change tables every 5 minutes - Don't buy...

Once I had to open up at 5am and I made this mistake of getting very drunk the night before and slept through my alarm. Ended up opening 30 mins late and had to be counselled by my manager. It pretty much equated to "I know you feel bad for it, sign here to say we had a talk about it". The...

Petrol Station: - Have your discount voucher ready to go instead of looking through every single piece of paper in your wallet/purse and holding up the line. - Don't put your credit card in slots in your wallet/purse where you can't physically get it out. - Don't come to the register and be...

Cheers man. I'll be looking into it and if I get any info I'll chuck it in this thread. Looks like I'm the only one from Petrol?

Hey guys, This is the first time I have posted here so take it easy on me but I have some questions to ask. I'm currently in the middle of an Accounting degree and I just do not care for academics or Accounting anymore. I cannot see myself finishing the degree. Anyway, to put some...
