hooman posted:Universities were made into businesses and in order to stay afloat they have to stuff as many bums in seats as possible since they get paid on a per student basis. Easy comrade, this is a good thing. Western Sydney Uni should be enrolling as many local students as possible, for all the good education gives. It is also ideologically correct that the government provide financially, in fact, the government should be paying all of the cost. It's an outcome of your rottern arse that "they're admitting any idiot now". Who do you think you are with that last bit?

Besides, ATAR requirements are in proportion to a course's popularity. There is a reason why Science, Mathematics, and Chinese Herbal Medicine degrees have lower requirements than Medicine and Law. The statistics actually show that universities are artificially puffing up their admission requirements for prestige and to lure in students (higher requirements = 'better' course).

Janurary seems to be the worst time to be unemployed. Too late to be a christmas casual and too early to catch the up-breeze of a year speeding up. March has always been my good month, I always seem to get a job in March.

Idiot referring not to intellectual capacity but to "any idiot" as in literally anyone. I agree that tertiatry entrance should be encouraged, and more power to people with low ATARs (for whatever reason) if they can pass units. You are right, admitting more students with less elitism is good, I just don't like seeing universities turned into businesses.

I disagree. Jesus knew that every body has a place, and maybe not every body's place is in a university. That's why we have TAFE, after all.

Frogmanv2 posted:Having issues with this, can you walk me through what you did, maybe in a PM or something please. All I did was look for keywords or re-occurring words in the job ad an put them in my resume (which was slightly different for every job I applied for). You don't really need to make a word cloud, just note their frequency and placement. To be honest, I think the best way of getting around the online application blackhole is to contact the hiring manager directly somehow. Often the job ad will say something like "for any inquiries regarding the position contact [x]" and it's usually a good idea to talk to this person to get noticed. That said, directly sending your application to them will yield results that vary from an interview to instant rejection for not doing things the proper way. Another thing, jobs that appear on industry specific job boards or on small relatively obscure websites are much easier to get because you're not competing against hundreds of people. Sometimes you can find some of these ads by typing the domain name (eg: taleo.net) of some of the more frequently encountered recruitment software in an advanced search on Google with "[x] jobs in [y city]. Often the search results will be job ads that haven't appeared on places like Indeed or Seek so you have less competition. Zenithe posted:So they resumes and cover letters are scanned electronically for certain phrases and denied if they don't have matches? It's definitely been a factor in my experience. Mr Chips posted:Does putting all the keywords in as invisible text help with this? That way you can still have something human friendly, while passing the automated filters. If you pass through the filter your resume gets converted into plain text and someone reads it, so doing this would gently caress you up at this stage. Laserface posted:Dont forget the job listings posted by recruiters that either A) capture data of people looking for work or B) positions that dont actually exist to harvest references and/or offer you less good, shittier positions. This is an important point too I think. Though sometimes the site hosting the ad will say something obviously scammy like "we may contact you about educational opportunities". Also, never apply for anything on Oneshift ever. Anidav posted:Can you share the wordcloud? It was different for every ad I applied for

Run away whenever Oneshift is mentioned, really; I think one of the fake job ads I applied to (my mum saw a 'game tester' job, I mistakenly applied before realizing how every word of it was fake as poo poo) signed me up to it without my say-so, because I got emails from them for like two months despite never going on the site.

It's 2am and I'm sitting here watching a bunch of heavily armed racist loons on the other side of the world waiting to be raided by the FBI so they can die in a blaze of glory For The Constitution! They're thoughtfully livestreaming it over youtube and it's strange as hell to see these people armed with rifles and automatic weapons just itching for the chance to kill someone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zil8bInw3hs It's an alien loving world.

Uni student Tom Wade was one of hundreds of thousands of Australians driven to despair by Centrelink's customer service performance. But instead of getting mad, Mr Wade got busy, accessing the Australian Government Directory and confronting senior Department of Human Services Bureaucrats directly with his complaints. The administrative blunder was soon sorted, Mr Wade says, and he is encouraging frustrated clients to take their grievances up Centrelink's food chain, saying departmental bosses should be held accountable for the failings at the coalface. When Mr Wade's youth allowance payments were cancelled in late 2014 he did what most clients do and took to Centrelink's phone lines to solve the problem. But in a story that will be all too familiar with hundreds of thousands of clients of the welfare agency, seemingly endless periods of waiting on hold resulted in being put through to someone who could not help the Melbourne student. So, after using search engine Google to figure out who were the power people behind the scenes at Centrelink, the 23-year-old stumbled on his most powerful weapon; the Australian Government Directory. "I got on the organisational structure from the Department of Human Services' website and just started Googling people from the top down, starting with Kathryn Campbell the secretary, "Then I did [DHS customer service boss] Grant Tidswell, the second one down and his entry in the directory was the second Google result." Eventually, Mr Wade settled his attentions on Brendan Jacomb, DHS' national manager of "service delivery performance and analysis". "I got through to him directly and he's the one to who I started dishing out the (performance) targets from the department's annual report," Mr Wade said. "He was caught a bit off guard about that, kinda surprised, but he said they'd get back to me about the details." After the internal DHS blunder that caused his payment cut-off was corrected, Mr Wade decided he had hit on a winning formula and ran with it. "I had to fix up the detail of my Medicare account, so instead of calling general inquiries and waiting ages, I found the lady in charge of Medicare, rang her up and asked her to fix it up for me," he said. "She asked 'Where did you get my number?' and I just said I looked her up directly. "She didn't know what to say to that, but she did forward me to the right people and I got straight through." The department was not enthusiastic about Mr Wade's approach, with a spokesman saying that anyone unhappy with the service they have received should go through the usual channels. "Customers can ask for a review of a decision, provide feedback or make a complaint by writing to us, calling 1800 132 468 or visiting one of our service centres," a spokeswoman told Fairfax. After finishing his degree and moving into the workforce, Mr Wade is no longer a Centrelink client but he encourages anyone feeling the frustration of dealing with the giant agency to use his methods. "For anyone who wants to get in touch with Centrelink, you already know the general inquiries lines are going to be backed up and a slow process, so find the person you feel has the power to help you directly and get in contact," he said. "Put the responsibility on someone in a position of authority to help you with your problem. "Sh*t rolls downhill so you've got to aim as high as you can, if you get in touch with someone too high up to deal with your problem then they will delegate."
