Okay, I say just let it be for the meantime, Don't mention uni.

Mention Uni one two weeks before you go back next year.

 

[Mr Wiggle]

For Induction money on your payslip it's got 'BORAL' printed.

For Induction money on your payslip it's got 'BORAL' printed.

my induction money was under 'INDUCT' and 'BPORAL' was for my orientation

do you know how much is it?

its just like a normal 6 hour shift, e.g I get paid 11.6 an hour so my induction payment is 11.6 x 6 = 69.6I

 

[alien]

that's pretty good money. i just got a job at kmart and the manager was happy when he found out i was doing uni next year because he said uni students tend to have more initiative or something

 

[Collin]

Ok I got rejected by ColesMyer.. BUT this letter I'm about to paste was received AFTER I got the letter telling me that I had passed the group interview and that they were gonna try and match me to the relevant manager etc:

Does that just mean I passed the interview but there aren't any positions left in the places that I chose and that they'll look for a position for me after recruitment starts again next year? Or does that mean they just dont want me anymore but wanted to put me nicely? (But they DID tell me I passed the group interview etc.)

Noooooooooooooooooooo but I need a job.. but you reckon that they'll call me after 15th.. or is this just a way of saying 'we dont want you, go away'?

 

[Panda Bear]

i think they mean that you will have to redo the group interview from scratch after january the 15th.

i think they mean that you will have to redo the group interview from scratch after january the 15th.

But why would they tell me that I passed the group interview and then tell me this? If they just wanted to reject me altogether, then shouldn't they have just told me that I failed the group interview straight off?

just ring them and find out

 

[Collin]

There's no number to ring, I wouldn't know who to call. I'll try giving Ms Sultana an email.

jkd - ask them direct, email is good. but i reckon you've passed, they will maybe contact you after the 15th (but saying that, when they say they will call they dont so they probably wont contact you after the 15th unless you hassel them)
