Everyone I've known who works for the public service in Canberra has known someone already working there to get in. So its more who you know, not what you know.

LOL well i dont know anyone.

I have a job interview for a business accounts recievable cadetship at the Government Chief Information Office of NSW (GCIO) next week. Ive gone through an arduous process including two online exams and a phone interview. This is the last hurdle, hopefully i can make it through to the end

Thankyou, Appreciate it!

All the best to you too!

 

[emiliieee]

spanx.

so is your next interview an informal one aswell?

 

[fsal]

To be honest the lady who spoke to me on the phone didnt clarify anything about it being formal/informal. I thought the phone interview was a little informal, it only lasted 20 minutes. Im guessing this may be more formal. P.s The lady didnt ask me to bring anything but im still taking a portfolio with me with academc transcripts such and such. Where you told to bring anything with you?

 

[emiliieee]

nope they didnt tell me to bring anything but of course i did.
i had a 20minute phone interview
then formal then informal next week.

Ahhk...i would have thought that the formal interview comes after the informal one, but i guess thats how they want to do it...Im actually having second thoughts about the cadetship, it might leave too much pressure on me to work full time and handle university next year.

A friend of mine got a government job working as a phone operator to manage fleet vehicle or something. He got the job from a recruitment agency. They hook one up close to the station because he couldn't drive.

[emiliieee]

but thinking is it really worth it doing this for 2yrs.. sigh

 

[fsal]

I have the same thoughts as you...before i got the job i was dying to recieve an offer, now that i have it im considering whether to go through with it...im not sure if ill be able to handle a full time job with uni and plus they havnt really mentioned what ill be doing for two years all i know is the job title which is "business admin-accounts recievable/payable"...im still waiting for paper work from them which may provide me with more information.
