    UNSW O-Week 2006

    Internet Access at UNSW

    Access to the internet via the UNSW network is fast, but as you say exepnsive. All internal sites are free, and you might want to check out http://mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au which has windows updates and other stuff. 1. As far as I know all the colleges use a PABX system to provide phones in...

    A warning for potential job seekers

    In terms of unpaid trials, you can always demand payment after the trial has occurred. If they refuse, take it to the Department of Industrial Relations and they'll get the money out of them on your behalf. There have been numerous cases in the paper where employers continually put people on...

    chem 1031

    Given that sikeveo has his HSC Graduation listed as 2005, I doubt he has a unipass to get to that stuff. The contents page from the tutorial booklet has: 7 1 Ionic Equations, Moles, Concentration 8 2 Properties of Atoms and Theories of Atom Structure – Part 1 12 3 Properties of Atoms and...

    JB Hi-fi

    If you want the job then you might as well just apply. If you don't have to write a covering letter for the position (and even if you do it shouldn't take you much time - after all it's just slightly editing a generic retail cover letter you've probably written), the only time it's going to take...

    my BIGW induction was the most boring 7 hours i have spent

    No, you don't have to join the union. No employer can force you to join a union any more.

    Sci/bus at UTS v Sci/Comm at UNSW

    The program structure of a Commerce/Science degree at Usyd to the one at UNSW is also quite different. Comm/Sci at UNSW is 4 years, while at Usyd it's 5 years. This is because you can complete more majors at Usyd than you can at UNSW. Whether that's worthwhile for you is a decision you have to...

    Christmas Casual Hiring 2005

    Decision ...

    There's only one difference between the commerce and economics degrees, and that's in the economics degree one of your major(s) must be economics. Realistically, there's very little point in switching from commerce to economics because you will do exactly the same subjects and just have a...

    Fulltime or part-time

    There's no need to scare any potential trainees. For first year commerce subjects (particularly the ones they'll be doing at the start, i.e. accounting 1a/1b, micro/maro in first year), a credit average isn't really that hard. A bit of consistent work over the semester and a credit is quite...
