[ctkid]

cover letter is basicly a quick summary of the position your applying for and what your app includes etc
bt thats from what i know
others may be able to help out more
goodluk

[seremify007]

There are alot of good tips and templates on the internet for cover letters and what not

Tip: Look up career guidance websites on the net, or even the university's own careers section.

This girl told me that she got paid around $28k including fringe benefits (at a mid tier firm) and that she chose to work with that company because that was the highest salary that was offered.

Would of been the highest at a mid-tier. Nearly as high as a big 4.

So who went to the cadetship evening and how did you find it?
I found it really useful haha and i finally met seremify

[Vagabond]

How were the snacks this year?

lol.

[La Divina]

I didn't have any, the only ones i saw were doritos or something and some dips and drinks obviously. Wasn't as good as the MS one, I think because their's was smaller they were able to have servers come up to you with trays of food lol twas much better

Hahaha... I met a few people who knew me from BoS. Hello to all I hope I helped answer your questions.

Just wondering...

Is anyone having trouble accessing the online application forms? I spent most of last night trying to figure out where exactly on the site the link for the application is (well, i was procrastinating, but thats beside the point).

I've only been able to find it for EY...

And question: does the firm pay your uni fees (ie you don't have to go through hecs etc), or just textbooks and stuff?

[LeeLoo]

i think they only pay for textbooks and union fees.

[seremify007]

Yes to textbooks and union fees; no to HECS.

However with VSU and all, I think firms are now just giving out the 'allowance' with no restrictions/limits in place (ie. you don't need receipts; and any money you save, you keep).

K, that sounds pretty cool.

but i'm still figuring out how to get to the online applications...

[seremify007]

To the best of my knowledge, the applications should be available and working online.

PwC for example, go to http://www.pwc.com/au/careers and click on Traineeships, then Apply Online Opportunities across all divisions (it's the third box from the left with the graphics in centre of page). As this is a 3rd party site you will need to register online to access the application form so either click Login without entering details whereby it will ask you to register if you haven't already doneso, or click on Applicant Services then Register Now.

Hope this helps

[steffiduck]

Cool, thanks!

[miss-smexy]

Lol I didn't see any BOSers. =S ... maybe because no one held up a sign! Where were you Seremify?

Anyway, the food was like doritos or something which I didn't eat.
Oh and they gave green lollipops from one of the firms?

The highlight of the night was the highlighter from KPMG XD... jokes =)
