well i better get practising then, i type pretty quick i think, but i did a online test today, and it my result was 24WPM...so you just type a passage out? i know how to type, but i dont really know what all the keys mean..especially all those F keys up top
It's something like a 5 minute typing test typing out some silly story that usually doesn't make sense.
Good luck! Did they say when you'd hear by if you get through to the next round?
Hi girls... I got a call yesterday (1 month later) advising me that I got accepted .
I am so relieved!!! I got my 1st preference (the location) but the position is a non-ongoing for 12 months in the Family Processing Team. Basically I won't have direct customer contact (from what I understood) and it will be more like over the phone contact if I need to get in touch with a customer. Anyone know about this role?
Do you think it means anything that I was not offered a permanent role. Does this mean that I am on a contract and I won't be eligible for the sick / holiday leave, etc... Also after the 12 months is over, do I have to apply for another role again? Sorry for all the questions. I am really happy that I got a job in the first place. Our land is about to settle in 2 weeks and we have to start paying the mortgage and we're planning to build straight away on it... but I am just concerned about the stability.... does non ongoing mean that they can kick me out as they please?
Cougar - how are you going? After the computer tests were done, I was called in for a one to one interview and then another 2 weeks later (just last saturday), they got me to come in for yet another interview but this time with a Centrelink Manager! So all up I went through 4 interviews and a computer test.
with the 12 month non-ongoing - basically they've got funding for positions for the next 12 months, and not beyond that, based on what needs are seen to be within the network when they were budgeting - at the end of the 12 months, there may be additional funding to offer you a longer term contract or even permanent work. you will have a minimum of 12 months work though
the families processing team will be the group that process baby bonus and family tax benefit new claims, ftb lump sum claims etc. you'll have minimal customer contact unless something is missing from their claim etc...
Congratulations!!
BG has summed it up good enough
I started off on a non-ongoing role which was for 5 months, and was offered a permanent job 3 months in. I was required to re-apply, but didn't have to do the whole interview process again.
When do you start?
Thanks BG and Jodi. I am not sure of the exact start date. I have yet to receive a call from them advising me of the date. I still need to do a medical though...but I really don't think I will have any problems there, lol
Jodi, thats what worries me a little.... having to go through the whole ordeal again to get a permament role. But I've spoken to another friend of mine (who works for the ATO) and she said her husband started off as a non-ongoing and then they made him perm after a short time.
I am just thrilled that I got a position. I am trying to get a whole stack of things done and spend some time with the kids before I go back to work.
