Bubble Burst

I just got rejected from DFAT's third stage :( am kinda more cut then I should be considering I know how hard it would have been to get through at all. I will try again next year! Starting to lose hope on these applications. Though I have another phone interview tomorrow. Hopefully someone will give me a chance soon~

Hi Noelle! Just joined blogspot :)

Don't lose hope! It took me about 6 months to find a job. It's all a numbers game in the end.

By applying to many jobs you'll get a good understanding of the interview process, what to expect from them and how to improve after each interview.

What kind of jobs are you applying for?

I'm currently working for the ATO and i highly recommend 'How to Write and Talk to Selection Criteria' by Dr Ann Villiers.

It's aimed for those wanting to apply in the Australian government sector.

Good luck! x

Thanks Sarah ^^

Wow ur at the ATO atm? In what kind of position? I've applied for the ATO graduate position. Currently at the cognitive testing stage ><

Yes its definately difficult and I know a lot of people have been through the same troubles as I'm in now.

I'm currently apply for graduate positions. Mainly Generalist, Management Consulting, Health and Safety and Government positions. Hopely I will have some luck soon.

I will definately try to check out the book you have recommended.

Welcome to Blogspot!!

We don't have a permanent position in our first year as we rotate in 3 areas.

Two of the rotations are within certain business lines and the 3rd is in the call centre for 3 weeks.

I'm currently in the Promoter Risk and Intelligence (PR&I) team within the Aggressive Tax Planning (ATP) business line. A bit of a mouthful huh? lol
