You're far better off going to university and transferring from there - at least in that case, you can get advanced standing for courses completed in your first degree. Repeating is a guaranteed loss of a year.

I dont think house prices will completely tank - I think they will plateau or maybe drop a bit and stay that way for a while. The competition is strong, but if you have a good agent and the bucks to back it up, it isn't too bad. I was lucky to know a really good agent who gave me a good deal...

I think it's reflective of nearly every professional field in this country - from what Ive seen of the professional employment market, being good is no longer good enough. It's becoming a common theme for many graduates - Id sure prefer to be in your position though :p.

Is research during undergrad a requirement for specialisation?

It's funny, because to me, these numbers dont seem competitive at all. Compared to graduate programs in other fields those numbers are pretty good (for those, you are looking at ratios like 800 applicants for 20 positions for a top tier law firm or around 4,000 applications for 30 positions for...

I really wanted to study at UWS over UNSW to be honest. Ive heard better things about the UWS program anyway.

Congratulations man - update your linkedin so I can see. In theory, yes, in practice 50/50. If you have a strong network, then it goes without saying that you should do well if you decide to go on the recruitment market. If you take networking out, then experience can be a double edged...

Think about what they high achievers at your school talk about and then compare it to other students. That should answer your question.

I know this is an older thread and you have probably decided, but those essays are really good options. There is so much to discuss and you could really get a great essay for it. When deciding on a position, sometimes it pays to separate your personal feelings and go for a line of argument you...

Come up with several key reasons for the victory (usually 3-4 for a 1,000 word essay). This forms the body of your essay, from there add an intro/conclusion and you're set. See the link in my sig on Modern Essays for more.

I did it pretty recent, although admittedly I have never done well in it. It's not that I found Medentry useless, I just didnt find it as useful as people made out. Medentry is definitely more helpful for section three, but I found the ACER papers more helpful when it came to improving there...

Given the circumstances of the event, a fire or intentional action on the part of the crew are the only explanations that fit. Those are the only two things that can account for the failure of multiple independent systems on such an airline. However, the only thing with fire that doesnt fit is...

Regular feedback should be documented anyway. Ratings are a 50/50 one - I cringe at the notion of rating people with numbers, but from an IR standpoint it is necessary. I guess Im pretty new age with the way I think.

In my very limited experience, a lot either dont or the discussions arent productive. What Deloitte is doing is really great, but many organisations couldn't pull it off because leadership capability isn't high enough. In many business, managers just cant handle an ongoing process which is why...

I dont see why people are complaining, ACER makes it very clear that they don't endorse any external tutoring companies. Besides, I never found Medentry to be a very close match to the UMAT. I mean, it's good practice but the actual UMAT is a bit different. Just too many people not...

It's a question of semantics, but yes it is. Performance management is sometimes used interchangeably with performance reviews and appraisals. What Deloitte is doing technically involves removing formal, review sessions and replacing it with an ongoing, rolling process.

http://www.afr.com/business/accounting/afr23accdeloitte-20150728-ghq5wu Thoughts? Personally, I think this is a huge step in the right direction, but Im surprised to see Deloitte leading the way considering the Big 4 usually have quite elaborate and ingrained performance management...

I wouldnt do away with the UMAT though, I still think it's a good tool when placed beside an ATAR, CV and interview.

A CV would be better in my view - looking at a candidates ECs/work history offers more than an interview and grades.
