    Anzac day public holiday?

    Hey everyone, The USU diary informs me that we have an Anzac Day Holiday on 27th of April. Is this a mistake? Because I hear that NSW will not have a long weekend this year since Anzac day falls on a saturday. So are classes still on for the monday?? I couldn't find anything on the usyd website.

    i didnt know they could do that, but they did, and this pisses me off.

    Something like this happened to me in my undergrad degree. I was told I'd failed a subject when I was absolutely certain I hadn't. They rechecked my exam paper (which constituted about 60% of the overall mark), and realised they forgot to add on a section. pfft idiots. Perservere, ask questions...

    Rules for Customers

    I never use the register to calculate the change for that EXACT reason. I hate using it, I prefer to work it out in my head, keeps me on my toes. I suggest keeping a handy small calculator next to ur register for emergencies like that.

    Rules for Customers

    Gosh I can relate!! I just happened to me on my own yesterday at the register during a busy time, trying to serve people as fast as possible, and simultaneously answering phone calls (I must do this or get in big trouble) and putting them through to appropriate departments. Everyone in the...

    Gap Year Work?

    I strongly suggest going for a customer service rep or something similar with Optus. They pay big bucks (~$40,000 in some roles). They are advertising on www.mycareer.com.au. Check them out, and it is full time... but I think u better apply asap as they are looking to recruit people from...

    It is kind of behind the main shopping district... which is weird. In one of the office buildings. To walk there from the station would take u around 20 mins.

    Cotton On! Got an interview

    The one where I was placed to work was really bad... the kitchen area was filthy. And there was nowhere to sit down! I'm sure yours will have far better working conditions. Yeah the induction took like 3 hours for me... *yawn* I didn't even have an induction at JB Hi-fi... lol they just took me...

    IT & T Jobs

    Ah right...There is only one advertised for part time, 20 hours a week... i think it should still be up there unless the position has been filled.

    coles supermarket interview!

    Wear a smart casual outfit, look clean and presentable, and don't worry about being nervous. Everyone gets nervous at interviews... They most likely will ask you questions like 'Why do you want to work at coles? What skills/attributes can you bring to coles?' Just remember that customer service...

    Help me decide...

    Definately go for Roger David. Way more upmarket and you'll get a mighty fine discount I'm sure (like at least 30%). Hours will be better and I'm sure work conditions a lil more cruisy than at Woolworths. It'll look more impressive on ur CV!! :)

    Working conditions optimal or not?

    I just started a new casual job and I'm already got a few problems with it. I am going to quit as I have now been offered better jobs. But I just want to get your opinions on these work conditions. * If you work 10 hours, you only get a 1hr break for lunch. That is it, the other 9 hours are...

    Cotton On! Got an interview

    They sometimes call a few days after when they should, so don't worry too much just yet. Although I strongly advise against working for cotton on. The breaks are terrible! I talked to the work choice infoline and they told me in my 10 hour shift (had this a few days ago) I should get two 10...
