Both are very good questions - the first shows an interest in the role itself, whilst the second demonstrates that you are a "go getter" and someone who is going to go places within a business. It's a great question for graduate roles, but for some entry level roles, I would avoid asking it...

I'd say improving the quality of your behavioural question responses is more important than memorising them (you dont want to appear to be rattling off memorised answers). You need to have versatile scenarios which both portray you in a positive light and align with the skills/behaviours which...

This is a good question and I've wanted to make a post on this for some time. With jobs getting more and more competitive, the vast majority of people will experience situations where they fail at interviews. People say you shouldnt take it personally, but I know that it is hard not to...

Sorry about the post - I didnt really think it through.

The forum is booming what are you on about.

Re: The real reason why you weren't homeschooled, your parents don't love you enough. No, see I've seen a shitload of trolls on BoS and here's what I think. I think you falsely believe that the BoS community harbors extreme views on education. So just for fun, I think you make these...

Re: The real reason why you weren't homeschooled, your parents don't love you enough. Who the hell talks schooling options about a child that hasnt even been created yet. I think you've just been caught out.

Re: The real reason why you weren't homeschooled, your parents don't love you enough. Here lies the contradiction: One minute you have a child, the next minute you are in uni blaming your parents for your education. I call troll.

Re: The real reason why you weren't homeschooled, your parents don't love you enough. Like everything else posted by financialwar, a troll.

Re: The real reason why you weren't homeschooled, your parents don't love you enough. School teaches you to interact with others and fend for yourself - which is a vital workplace skill. Homeschooled children arent going to get that experience on the same level as school students.

If the distance is too much, UTS or Usyd are both great options.

It's probably an internal marketing thing. Firms who really push their graduate programs target them towards the big 4 because obviously those unis have most of the talent. They're more reluctant to invest in marketing at other unis because they lack the talent and because they just dont get...

To build on this, a lot of company's have "development programs" for individuals identified as having management potential. So this can involve a combination of practical and educational experiences (where you would get the necessary training anyway). The Commerce degree is good if you arent...

It can vary. The workplace isnt like High School/Uni, where X ATAR gets you into Y courses. All you can do is work on your professional development during uni to give yourself the best chance of finding employment post-graduation. The best option is to find part time work whilst you're at uni...

It depends what you do throughout uni. At uni, you need to work on your employability by maintaining good grades, participating in ECs and most importantly looking for industry opportunities. If you graduate with just a piece of paper you will be unemployed for months.

It depends what you plan on pursuing post-graduation. If you're intent on going into Engineering, then I wouldnt bother with Commerce at all. Once you have climbed the ladder in Engineering to a Management position, you can always do an MBA or some other uni level qualification in Business...

Excel skills are so important in quite a few careers - I've secured interviews and even jobs on the back of my Excel skills. Also, it should be noted that recruiters actively use Whirlpool so be careful what you say (they also pose as applicants). It can be really easy to identify some...

If a workplace has this mentality - then they are definitely doing something wrong and you should probably look elsewhere.

As I said earlier, IB is probably one Business field where prestige comes into play. On the second point, for most professions, marks don't really play a big role in the hiring process. Once you have reached the cut-off, the business wont even look at it any more. Moreover, most recruiters...
