only open to year 12s and 1st years @ UNSW (I think) if new sponsers got into the program.

wouldn;t it be wierd to actually type it up, stick it on and photocopy it?
like won't the guy that read it be suspicious. i think it would be better to find a girl (girls have neat writing) to write it up for u.

just a question, would they um...ask u to write shit out on the interview?

Yeah, I personally wouldnt do it. I used to get my mum to fill stuff out for me.

thats so cute.

y is it bad to actually do that?

 

[CrashOveride]

you are unable to write your own application?

i wudnt give u a job anywhere.

still goes back to my original question, do they like test ur handwriting at interview?

cause if u got bad hand writing, than they straight away reject u, cause u suck

If youve got bad handwriting, it shouldnt have that much of an effect. If youve got handwriting that noone can read but yourself, then theyll have trouble reading it and will reject you simply because they dont know what you wrote. But I doubt your handwriting would be that bad.

If you have hand writing where you are the only person who can read it...you should go back to primary.

You should be able to write in 'block letters' ...

No. I was suggested to do that by someone higher up when I filled up my application (though not for actuary) - and I did that. But its up to you.

Not that I've ever heard of.

I think you might be able to.

Contact the UNSW Co-op office, they'll tell you everything you need to know with one simple call. They r really helpful.

If you are applying for finance, I believe its a bit more hectic.

Instead of 2 interviewers like acct and the other programs, I had 5.
4 Industry reps and Terry Walter (head of banking and finance).

And considering Meryll Lynch and Goldman Sachs joined the program for 06 (GS for 05, yay!) the stakes have gone up alot higher.

My advice is to be prepared. If ur worried about ur handwriting, type it.

If you can't write your own application you shouldn't be applying, maybe take a handwriting course instead

Also, Haha I did get a question on the Australian economy from the academic and i remember it wuz some shit like
"so do u read any finance related news, heard about the AUS CAD? (this was 04)?"
"Oh, you mean the article they had on the front page on yesterdays AFR" (i dont know y but i actually checked AFR the night before just incase....winner!
I could tell from his smirk he was trying to own me but yeh really lucky and got a few surprised looks.. definately a PLUS.

All the best for those applying!
