For now, I have only been to their 1) Information Evening and 2) Group Assessment. The Information evening was pretty basic. They did a little presentation, but I had the chance to speak to graduates/managers/partners when it finished. It was great. Speaking to graduates, you can really ask them the "stupid" questions. :p
The Group Assessment was a tad more nerve-racking. I was on a table of 6 applicants and an assessor. We had to discuss a case amongst ourselves. That went really well....I made some really sexy points. Then had a short interview with the assessor before going home. (They called me about 3 hours after I left the place! :))
Damn! :D you must've been good! for them to call you 3 hours after! :D

So whoa you prepared for the final interview ?? when is it?

Keep an eye out on careerhub, as there seem to be a few tutoring opportunities and study-guide-writing jobs and things up there to give you at least a little experience. I've got a friend doing educ at Syd who I keep an eye out for; next time I send him something I'll pm you too, if you like?
Hehe yeah, I do, unfortunately most of the jobs appear to be north of convenience for me, but thanks for the offer :)

How bizarre. I'll just wait for someone to be stalkeringly staring at me and jump up and shout: "You know Anne!!"

My interview is at 10am. Which means I have to get up early AGAIN! I haven't had a day to sleep in for ages....:(

It is going to be a behavioural interview, so I'm trying to pull a few strings to get myself prepared ;)

Oooh shopping! I'm jealous I havn't been shoppingn for clothes in oh so long :( I'm trying to stay away from shopping centres in general to try and save.

So since my capacity to shop has been horribly cut off... What did you end up buying? :D

Note: I do plan on buying a jacket and some more long sleeved tops for winter though, what's out there?
I just brought a nice white shirt from just jeans – and it was one sale too! Brought it from mq center after doing research on my cultural studies essay… which I haven’t even finished yet lol :D

There are a few sales going on at the moment (that cotton on store at mq center is having a closing down sale). But if you want to save money, I suggest window shopping! :p

Hey redruM,

It might be too late but I've got a whole crapload of behavioural interviewing questions on my computer if you want them, which I've managed to steal from work.

I've also got questions+answers of the behavioral questions nature and the ad hoc type questions (which amatuers apparently only ask) back from my internship interview if you want them.

Well let me know if you want them :) it might be a bit late though...

Good Luck! :d

Haha, oh don't try to side step it :p Guys wouldn't care about closing/openings to that exactness!

And making sigs/avatars is quite easy :D Just need a few hours of playing around with photoshop, find a picture you like, and then a) find some tutorials, b) play around until you find something you like :D
