Good luck OP, be yourself remember to 'interview' them too, and have the attitude that you are deciding on them as much as vice versa.

OP:

Must have more information. Good LUCK!!

Ooh, I want to do this! How long are you doing it for? I think there's the diploma of business, and business admin, I'm not sure what I want to do.

It is supposed to take 8 months but my tutor reckons i can knock it off in 6 max.

I am doing it online. Seems good so far

**Teeki** · February 9th, 2015, 06:00 PM

6-8 months is a lot quicker than I expected! I'd be doing it online too, by the time I start DD will be in kindy and I'll still be working part time, DS should be less time consuming lol. Good luck with it Mumma T

Don't work in Logistics if you want to be in the CBD would be my advice. And if anyone wants to work in Logistics live West or North West Melbourne - not East :-(

I had to giggle at that.. I work in Logistics (but much further north).. But I always tell people not to work in logistics.. It sucks you in, and you don't get out, LOL.

Oh no - how many weeks are you into it now? Mine is ok - few things are setting my spidey senses tingling but I always think you have to give it 6 weeks before you know for sure.

**Beautiful Disaster** · February 13th, 2015, 06:57 PM

Hmmm 4 I think. They are just terrible to work for. No one is happy.

**Mumma T** · February 14th, 2015, 05:36 AM

Thsts not good, i hope it miraculously improved. What will you do? Start looking again?

First week down and i am pretty happy with things. My entire team i am in was away yesterday which made things interesting. I am being given a few projects already whennl i thought it was going to me doing the day to day stuff and the others doing the projects. Think i am going to like this job

**Beautiful Disaster** · February 14th, 2015, 10:58 AM

Yeah I'm already looking. Think I want out of my field

**wysiwyg** · February 17th, 2015, 06:12 PM

Glad to hear it is going well Mumma T.

Hope you can find something better soon (and in a different area if that is what you want) BD.

Congrats OP!!

People who have children at school - does your school have parents association meetings during the day? Do you go to them?

I am keen to be involved in the school where I can, but is very challenging when they have their first parents association meeting during the day and on the same day as an open classroom and picnic in the evening which I am already having to leave work early for. With travel time I would have to take day off work really to attend - I can't fathom why it is a good idea to have them in the daytime??

Back when I was a child, mum was always involved in the parents association or the PTA as was called in UK, but then (when there would have been far less working parents) they were always held in the evenings.

**Beautiful Disaster** · February 17th, 2015, 06:34 PM

Well I didn't get the chance to quit cause today I was let go. I have no idea what to think. They told me I was making little mistakes yet I was never told about these mistakes or i would have rectified them. Gah just can't win
