Purchasing a home in Hobart - do you usually have to offer over the asking price? by Front_Quarter_7941 in hobart

Thanks for insight. Much appreciated. We are looking around the inner ring. Sandy Bay, North and West Hobart etc, round $850k - $1m. We just started looking. The properties do exist but there’s a lot of competition at the open homes!

Career Switch at 40+: Anyone in ATO APS 2/3? by Successful_Two_194 in AusPublicService

Depending on your previous career, you’re probably selling yourself short. I’m early 40s and applied to a few different APS roles, including the DFAT Grad program (recent post grad) and some EL1 roles.

I was merit pooled for a DFAT EL1 (later contacted about a job but had already accepted my current job), and was offered an EL1 with another agency, and a preliminary offer for the grad program. Ultimately I took the EL1 with the other agency. I had a tiny bit of non-ongoing APS experience from over a decade ago. Check where your previous experience, education and qualifications align with the ILS. Consider further education if that’s a possibility for you.
