But if you are applying for the right sort of entry level jobs then you can be confident that you can do the job... because the jobs are easy. Confidence is important... there are people here saying they won't get the job before they even get to the interview... if you have that kind of...

If people put you on unpaid trials and then don't hire you, report their asses because it is illegal. I think what a lot of people here lack is either a/ confidence or b/ the right attitude Go in to an interview full of confidence. Every time I have gone for an interview for a job I have...

I already know my results... well not officially. All my subjects are ungraded, and I have passed them all, so yeah, here are my results. Media Information and Society..... P Contemporary Cultures 2..... P Colonialism and Modernity..... P (I got a HD+ (whatever that means!) on my major...

You can stay at some of the uSyd colleges. You should also apply for UTS Housing because competition to get in to the USyd colleges is tough and you may not get a place, and you don't want to be homeless. UTS Housing is at www.housing.uts.edu.au Gumal Ngurang is the best UTS residence...

I'm glad that Ami has gone lol she was a power bitch. But at least she was playing the game a bit. Lol Eliza got the car! I think Eliza is smarter than she acts.... but she is still a bimbo.

I love Christmas, but why spend millions on decorations when the money could be better spent on something else, like more infrastructure, help for those who are struggling at Christmas time etc. Decorations aren't what Christmas is supposed to be about, and John Howard's comments make him look...

The minimum wage is probably the same. Unless you are involved in food and beverage (e.g. food and alcohol) I think that working in a coffee shop just goes under the general title of "shop assistant" which is the same as the jewelery store (I could be mistaken). But I doubt there would be much...

Canberra is not a hole.... my town has a population of 50,000 and you can still have fun here. Canberra is much much much bigger than where I live!!!!! It won't be as crazy and vibrant as Sydney, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I know people that go to ANU and they love it and have a...

I hate Colin. He is such a dickhead.... like when he went to the police station over the taxi fare.... he is so agro, what a moron.

Trailor Park Boys is a great show, on the Comedy Channel.... it's so funny! I'ts on at 11.30pm tonight (Sunday) watch it!

Yeah, the term commonly referred to as "cash in hand" is the illegal type activity. You can be paid cash money and it can be "on the books" If you have filled out an employment dec, that means you are "on the books", and if your employer is paying you cash money and taking out your tax and...

I got a lot more respect for Ivana in the two eps shown tonight.... she is very creative. I can't believe Jennifer took the credit basically for Ivana's ideas. What a dumb bitch, I can't stand Jen!!!

Pay on the books is when they pay you legit. When they pay cash in hand, you legally don't even work there and you don't have to pay tax on your earnings... and hence don't have to pay you the award rate. Paying cash in hand is illegal but it's common. Sometimes it's better to be paid cash...

I'm reading it (before I give it to my brother for xmas lol) and it's really funny. I'd recommend it, it's a good read especially if you have read travel guides before lol.

I like her... angel, i will remember you are really good.

Since the offerings on free to air TV get slim around this time of the year, what are your favorite shows on foxtel/austar? I like Room Raiders and Pimp my Ride on MTV. I also think some of the makeover shows are funny. I also like the reruns of classic shows like Seinfeld and the Simpsons...

Just smile, be really nice to the customers... try your hardest and try not to look too stressed or flustered. I think that ultimately they will be looking more at your customer service skills and your willingness to work hard. Don't stress. And remember, unpaid trials are actually illegal...

Sorry it wasn't directed at you... I've just heard too many people this week who have not worked in food talking as if they were somehow above it.... as if retail is more superior or something? It was just a general vent.

I have worked in my parents business and it is not laid back. For starters I work 12 hour shifts... we are busy all the time. There is stock to be cut in industrial food processors, pastry to be made, food to be prepared and cooked, heavy lifting of stock and food, cleaning massive dirty...

I want to get a credit card to pay for things like my net connection and concert tickets online.... can you use a debit card like Jase has for those kind of things or does it have to be credit? I don't like spending non existant money so I would rather have it come out of my bank account.
