totally immature politics. he clearly did that on purpose to make her look like a dick. But she gave him the chance to do it....

Some pics and another video. Everyone was asleep so this one is silent, I'll probably do another one in the morning.

The technic stuff was incredibly time consuming, but it's made the thing damn sturdy!
We should be friends.

Are your marks any good? You really shouldn't have any problem finding a job with a mba.DeathJr said:Hey, I'm a master of business administration with major in accounting. Exactly the same course and subjects, apart from extra ethics units I had to do. The job scene sucks though...high demand for accountants but no one is hiring.

As our elected representatives I would like them to have our best interests at heart rather than just trying to screw the other party all the time. Although since no one seems to give a shit about climate change, health over profits or refugees maybe they are the leaders we deserve.hamchan said:

I wasn't going to get it straight away but $69 for Gears 3 is a decent local price, going to pick it up soon. Anyone else getting Gears?

I totally forgot that Gears 3 is out today. Avoiding JB in my lunch break is going to be tough.

Yea ordered from ozgameshop, hoping for arrival this friday.
Add MarshmellowSFN to live Sutton, will be keen for some hordes/co-op
Going to grab Gears this morning and dive into the multiplayer, which I never touched beyond a bit of Horde in 2. Looking for work at the moment, so I figure I can play it and Deus Ex at the same time. Video games, all the time.
If anyone wants to play, add me on XBL and yell out (gamertag is "agyar too").

Will do Marshy.
As Gears 3 is a pretty big game for 360, we may as well all add each other.

It might be "smart" if assessed against the Oppositions game play during this term but that behaviour continues to be damaging to Australian politics on the whole. The winner-takes-all-brawl between Labor and the Coalition have moved completely beyond policy and exist entirely to support itself and it does no favour to the community affected by the policies that get trampled underfoot. If the Opposition truly supported human rights and the fair and humane treatment of refugees, they would oppose the changes outright. Anything else is unjustifiable party politics with no further goal than to be elected for the next term by the minority of the population who are swayed by such antics.
NB: I'm sure nobody would interpret this as me believing Abbott should support the changes to the Immigration Act. I think the proposal is abhorrent and probably the worst change ever put forward by the current government.

Definitely getting Gears 3. I'll have to renew my Gold subscription, I decided to cancel my credit card a while ago (it was actually an amazing decision, I'm really glad I did), but an unforeseen consequence of that was my live ran out. For Gears I'm getting it back.

Yeah Gears3 will be my first locally bought game in some time (and I think my last ever xboxen game unless Forza swings me around). I thoroughly enjoyed the single player of both 1 and 2 and am hoping they end the series well (and without DLC storyline components).
Also horde 2.0 looks amazing.

I graduated about 6 months ago. Now when I apply for grad jobs, they tell me I need to be on my final year of study. When I apply for full time jobs, they tell me I don't have experience. What do I do?legend166 said:
I wanted to do CPA as well, but that's no good unless I have some work ex.

What do you think I'm doing now? Not a warehouse job, but something similar that does not require a degree qualification.evlcookie said:

I've got a few mates (mostly lawyers, not accountants admittedly) who took some time off after graduating and still got grad positions.
Maybe try and get a job in the industry, but not at one of the big tier firms? When I went for this job I was told there were a heap of applications of people who applied who had been working at coffee shops and the like. Half the reason I got the job is I was willing to go and take a job for a while in industry, but out of a major centre. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to move to a country town to get a job with an MBA, but getting a job with a smaller company, even as a stepping stone can only help

How many grad jobs have you applied to? Most of the ones I looked at didn't care if you were out of uni for six months.
What city are you in?

Mate, that is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't mind moving to the desert or even the bush lands for that matter. All I want is a start...
I think what I'm doing wrong is applying on the recruiting firms like hays, etc and not trying on seek.

Yeah recruiters can put themselves in a sack and throw themselves off a bridge for all I care.
One recruiter interview I had, the recruiter spent ten minutes telling me how I'm not suited to the job I applied for, but wanted me to come in because I might be useful for something else, and then spent another ten minutes telling me how strange it was that a woman "as cute as (she) is" ended up in recruiting. HATE HATE HATE.
I found the job I'm at now at Seek. Actually to be more accurate the wife found it. Couldn't believe it.

sometimes having an mba and accounting degree can be a problem. You need to look at it from the employers perspective. If you are awesome and have all this stuff then you might get looked over as they know you won't hang around long
I was taught this @ a management course a few weeks ago that I attended. If someone seems like they won't hang around because they have to many credentials for the job, don't hire them. It's bananas but it does unfortunately make business sense. You want to train to retain, not train to lose.
so if you have to leave something off the resume to get a foot in the door, do so. It's illegal to falsify a resume, its not illegal to leave stuff off.

Recruiters are indeed difficult to deal with. I'm looking for contract work at the moment, which means almost exclusively dealing with recruiters. All the jobs advertised through Seek etc are through recruiters on behalf of the employers and in most cases, the jobs never even hit Seek if the recruiters already have somebody on hand for the position.
I've been dicked over at least once already for a position by a recruiter and I'm getting sick of dealing with them but the my experience and need for a short term engagement leave me little option.
Checks Internet update #4597
Service with Internode has been Terminated, Optus are telling them I don't exist
No idea what the heck is going on.
Sitting here waiting for Internode to call me after their technician came out today and I was told I wouldn't need to be home, the tech's just had a big talk to me about it saying I did, but how crap the whole thing is and he's calling in his report now so Internode should call me soon
I have no idea what's going on.

This seems like a stupid way of looking at the scenario. If someone is clearly over-experienced for a position, it doesn't take a genius to know they're unsuitable. But if the issue is just some extensive qualifications like two degrees, that's hardly going to be the reason they leave. The employee will leave because one or more of their needs are not being met and you need a deeper understanding of what those needs are and how they align with the position you're hiring for. Perhaps someone with multiple qualifications needs a challenging role that pushes them and if you're not offering that, your mistake was hiring them into a role that's not fulfilling to that need, not that they had "too many credentials".
Errr, do you know how many people out there would love to be in your position? You must be doing something really wrong if you can't get a corporate job with those credentials.DeathJr said:
With the graduation thing, don't worry about that. You can usually still apply up to a year or two after graduation.
Did you apply to any of the big4 accounting firms? You would get in easy. I think some a doing rolling recruitments so go check in out NOW and apply.
Like legend said, you don't need a recruiter. Just spam your resume to everything and something will come good. Hell, you should be flooded with offers if you really are a D/HD student.
