    anyone work for Eurest?

    Eurest is terrible in my opinion. I work for them sometimes through my hospitality agency. Often their sites are totally disorganized. Some of the sites are often unclean as well. They underpay their staff and don't provide them with adequate training. Some of the upper management is very...

    What is inappropriate in a News/Current Affairs/Politics sense?

    When it comes to reporting on the private, in terms of journalism, it is usually considered only fine to report on the private when it is in the public interest.

    What is inappropriate in a News/Current Affairs/Politics sense?

    We debate this kind of stuff at uni all the time, especially in relation to journalistic ethics, confidentiality vs the public right to know, abiding by the law vs public right to know etc. Sometimes I don't know what I think.... e.g. should journalists protect their confidential sources...

    cheap backpacking holidays

    There was some decent nightlife in NZ, in Auckland, Q-town, C-Church, Rotorua and Wello..... also in the Bay of Islands there were a few backpacker bars. If you want to go out there are ample opportunities in NZ. Lots and lots of backpacker bars!

    cheap backpacking holidays

    I did a tour in NZ with a company similar to Contiki, it was called Connections Adventures.... I had an awesome time, it was great. But it is probably a bit pricier than just backpacking, but you don't have to organize as much stuff and you make really good friends (well at least I did)

    Telstra Stadium interview - anyone else go?

    I am not stinking rich that is why I am working so much.... I moved to the city from the country to go to uni, and I support myself entirely. That is expensive, even while being stingy. Plus I have savings goals etc. Plus the jobs are fine.... people who are job snobs always whinge about...

    cheap backpacking holidays

    Vietnam.... but the best times to go are around April or October.... also New Zealand can be reasonable because the airflights are uber cheap, it's just the activities that are pricey. Third world type countries are usually pretty cheap, but sometimes the airfares can be a bit pricey.

    assignment:comm & info environments

    This is mine from last year, the tutor really liked it so it must be the kind of thing they are looking for. Your assignment question might be slightly different, I dunno. Wow it's freaky looking at my work from first semester last year lol.

    Children in Detention

    The unaccompanied children should be in foster care, not in detention. Also if you took time to read a lot of the website you would see that the website is well referenced with information from a large variety of sources.... it's not just them spouting their opinion. If you took time to...

    Children in Detention

    For anyone that has any sort of opinion on detention centres and children in detention, visit this site: www.chilout.org I found it while doing research for a feature story I am writing on children in detention. I can't believe we do this in our so called democratic nation.

    rejecting a coles myer offer

    I think it gets rid of your application, if you only wanted to work for myer you should have put that down at your interview.

    Telstra Stadium interview - anyone else go?

    It will be a delicate balancing act lol.... but basically I won't work for the hospitality agency during semester, only during holidays..... it is really casual so you just tell them when you are available and they try and find shifts for you.

    Telstra Stadium interview - anyone else go?

    I have an extremely colorful work history lol.... that isn't even my history, that is just the jobs that I have now!!! I chop and change jobs all the time. For me it was easy to get in to hospitality because my parents own a restaurant.... maybe do a coffee making course and your RSA, then...

    How hilarious is this! The safety checklist!!! ROFL!!! You have identified the nearest exit in the event of an emergency and entry / exit points free from trip hazards? Are emergency numbers such as Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade and nearest hospital visible? Are there relevant first...

    Telstra Stadium interview - anyone else go?

    Ummmm I currently have three jobs. None of them have stellar pay rates, unlike a job I had last year which had excellent pay. Job no 1 only pays me $13.70 per hour..... so shitty pay..... but I have set shifts (its part time essentially instead of casual) and it's such a boring job that I...

    dorm life: random scary moments

    lol our fire alarm goes off all the time.... some of the international students don't know how to use western appliances.... like someone put pork chops in the toaster because they thought it was a vertical grill and set off the fire alarm.... they did this twice by the way, setting the alarm...
