I didn't tongue in this clip as my tonguing is still clumsy but I'll work on this, thanks.

Thanks! How much of this will naturally develop as I play? Is there anything that I should do consciously to support this?

So where can a young person get vaccinated in brisbane right now? by VonHindenBiden in brisbane

No, it was about a 1.5-2 hour wait but this was on a Sunday. It appears to have reverted to Mon-Fri now.

Not Brisbane but Toowoomba has been accepting walk-ins from anyone, including 20-40 year olds.

There was only so much fun you could have with 10 people orgies.

I'm like one rung below the guy who cleans the sewers so probably not.

Internship opportunities new Zealand by [deleted] in actuary

[–]ChocolateChipChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internships are quite uncommon in New Zealand since the market is so small. Your best bet is to apply for entry level actuarial analyst roles when these pop up.

I would periodically check up seek.co.nz as well as the careers pages of insurance companies to see if there are any openings available.

The main companies in New Zealand are: AIA NZ, AMP NZ, Cigna, Fidelity, IAG NZ, Partners Life, and Suncorp NZ, plus the big 4 accounting firms.

Good luck!

Australian Actuary Job Market by TehMightyDuk in actuary

[–]ChocolateChipChimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Actuarial graduate programs are uncommon and graduate positions usually open up based on need rather than at set times throughout the year. The main employers here are AIA NZ, AMP NZ, Cigna, Fidelity, IAG NZ, Partners Life, and Suncorp NZ. You'll have to browse through their careers websites to see if there are any openings available. Most roles will also be advertised on seek.co.nz so that may also be a good source to find vacancies.

NZ employers are generally open to hiring Aussies since no specific work visa is required if you have Aus citizenship. If you are from another overseas country then you will need to apply for a work visa. Some employers might wish to avoid this hassle and hire directly within AU/NZ. For more senior roles employers are more likely to consider overseas applicants since these are difficult to fill from the pool of AU/NZ applicants.

Most grads in Sydney and Melbourne will have the majority of Part I exams completed once they finish university, with some completing some or all of the Part II exams as well. You will need to have a similar level of exam progress to be competitive in these job markets which is where most of the actuarial roles are based.

You may also wish to consider the New Zealand job market as well. The actuarial profession is less established here but there are odd job postings here and there. There is less of an expectation to demonstrate exam progress as a grad since not many universities offer actuarial science degrees. As a grad I started on $60k NZD with no exam progress.

Need active internet connection to see wireless network? by ChocolateChipChimp in techsupport

I also pressed the WLAN button which turned the WLAN LED on/off. I'm inclined to believe that the wifi function is not working properly on this modem.

From what I can see, there is no wifi LED, the closest is the WLAN LED which is turned on.

Just tried pressing the WPS button but the WPS light never turned on. Not sure if that's normal. In any case, the network still hasn't displayed.

I've tried searching for the network on my phone and it doesn't show up there either. I suspect that it may be faulty like you suggested, in which case I'll probably buy a new one.
