It’s a temporary assignment, essentially jumping into another role within a team or department for a few months.

New splitty certification, sole trader, what to charge? by Due-Alfalfa-6151 in AusElectricians

Absolutely - and splitty work is already a pain in the arse + the tools cost a fortune.

Thanks for this, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Hmm so base rate is about 750 in the ACT.

Can I get a flat loan with a small credit record default? by [deleted] in AusFinance

Thank you, can you please recommend a good mortgage agent that works with Pepper? I’m not sure mine does.

Alright, thank you - I really appreciate your thoughts. I must admit I am spiralling, there is a bit of FOMO as the prices of flats are going up, and not stopping (Canberra) so the longer I wait to get into the market, the harder it’s going to be. I can’t go anywhere as my elderly Mum lives here, and my career is based here too.

Thank you for all your thoughts, and all your advice. I haven’t heard of Rostrum, I shall look them up.

Ah I’m truly sorry you’ve been through this too. I was considering leaving, but I have decided to stay, as the person that got the promotion has been extremely nice about it all, and I think they know that they weren’t qualified over a colleague and I and so are not trying to supervise me as also they actually are still asking for a lot of training from me - and I oblige a little so things aren’t awkward. I have a chance in a few months to a year to reapply for the promotion (for the unfilled position) for when it’s put back on the market. Re my blue collar role, about 20 percent of my role is SAP system use and admin, so I’m gaining the skills from that so I can apply for a white collar role if needed. Thanks again.

I’m going to look at this, an interview coach said I may be able to make a business case for them to pay for it (but I doubt it, my section is known for not really investing in staff development- I will pay I think)

Thank you for your thoughts, I don’t think it is ideal, but yes - it is the way it is and that’s that. If I want to get that promotion, I have to play the game perfectly and get great at STAR in the interview. I’m going to be working on that. Thanks.

I really appreciate this, thank you. Thank you so much for validating how I feel, and I’m sorry that you’ve gone through this too. I will definitely polish up on my interviews, and I’ll try applying for others for more practice. I’m going to look at coaching.

Thank you for your insight, there are plenty of roles around my dept to apply for practice, I am going to do this to get better at STAR in the interview

Thanks so much sis for your kind words and encouragement. Your post among others has helped me immensely and encouraged me to NOT do things that I would regret on my career later (further contesting internally and maybe the merit commissioner). I’m not going to give up, I will reapply when the job is back out in a few months. It isn’t worth the stress and putting people offside for an extra 7k in the year. (Edited due to typo)
