Hey everyone, looking to grab a new monitor this week and found it slightly cheaper at a smaller online store, but I’ve always preferred picking up gear locally from Scorptec if I can help it to save on shipping hassle.
Have any of you tried getting them to price match recently?
Been applying for jobs in Sydney for three months now with zero luck. Either I get automated rejection emails within two hours saying I'm overqualified for junior roles, or hiring managers pass because I haven't held a specific manager title before. How are you guys tailoring your resumes to break out of this hiring loop?
I logged all my points and submitted my monthly requirement on the portal two days before the deadline, but my payment was still automatically put on hold due to a missed appointment error caused by the provider system. The stress of having your main income suspended right before rent day is overwhelming. If an administrative error happens on their end, how quickly can the provider lift the suspension, and should I immediately contact the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations to lodge an official complaint?
I'm considering going into teaching and obviously have an idea of what the job involves, but I'm sure there are things you don't really understand until you're actually in a school. For experienced teachers, what surprised you most during your first year?
I'm planning to apply for a home loan and currently have no personal loans or BNPL accounts. I'm considering buying a car, though, and I'm not sure whether I should wait until after the mortgage application. How far ahead should someone ideally avoid taking on new debt?
I'm trying to set realistic expectations for my first software job. Salary information online seems to vary massively depending on location and company. For people who started as graduate developers in Australia, what was your starting salary and how has it changed since?
I recently picked up some small graphic design freelance gigs on an Australian Business Number while looking for full time work on JobSeeker.
The income varies wildly, with some fortnights earning eight hundred dollars and other fortnights earning zero.
Do I report the gross amount on the day the invoice is paid, or do I need to lodge a Profit and Loss statement directly through the business income portal so that operating expenses are deducted?
CommBank has built its reputation on digital experience in a way that the other big four haven't matched and the app has consistently rated well. But the neobanks and some of the smaller players have been investing heavily in their own digital products and the question of whether CommBank still leads or whether it's now just very good in a field that's caught up is worth asking honestly. Would love to know how people here who use multiple banking apps actually rate the CommBank experience compared to what else is available.
For anyone who has done this churn recently: how smooth was the status match transfer to your chosen airline (e.g., Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer or United)?
What is your ultimate custom build?
I’d honestly pay good money for a full-sized bottle of that special sauce. Having to ask for those tiny little containers feels like such a tease. Surely I’m not the only one who thinks this is a missed business opportunity?
What is the single best sign you have noticed during an application process that proved a company was a genuinely great place to work?
Been unemployed for a while now and just got invited to interview for a state government IT role. Also still waiting to hear back from a couple of private sector applications. Everyone keeps telling me to just take whatever comes first but if I somehow end up with a choice I want to go in already knowing which way people lean long term
I need to go down to melbourne for a couple of weeks to help look after a sick relative but I am worried my mutual obligations will cause my jobseeker payment to get suspended while I am away. Do I need to get explicit permission from my provider before booking the bus or can I just manage my points online while interstate?
