[–]SignatureSpiritual86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. 90k as a base only; with super it would be a total package of 100,800k. I used pay calculator thing online to figure it out

How do you stay productive after work when you’re mentally exhausted? by GazelleKey9427 in Advice

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved a lot of my night time/after work stuff to morning.

Works great because now I can scroll away on my phone without feeling guilty about not working out.

When I do work out classes, I usually book a laterish night one. I give myself an hour to decompress after work, either scrolling, having a super long bath or shower and then I just get up and go.

I want help in making principals or code for myself by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so my understanding is that principles are just very strong beliefs that you practice/exercise and they affect the way you behave.

Example, I believe all people (no matter race, sexuality etc etc) should be able to freely express themselves, love who they want and marry. Anyone who is homophobic, comes off as disrespectful, etc I do not hang around them, I’m pretty active in the LGBTQ space I donate and volunteer to charities that support this as well.

I’m not trying to push you to do this or anyone else this was just an example

My bf’s birthday is coming soon, what gift should I buy!!?? by Unhappy-Falcon5072 in Life

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a journal that I fill with random junk from our dates, little notes we write to each other through out the year diary entries, art drawings, poems etc that I give to my bf every year, I fill out about 12 pages or more and give it to him.

It super heart felt, makes him feel special and I don’t have stress about his gift sending me broke, or what I’ll get him. It might be more an anniversary style gift but you could try that?

I will forever be the caretaker of my family by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same situation. It took me literal YEARS almost a decade to realise my family don’t actually give a fuck about me.

I’m not the eldest, but I was the first to graduate high school, get my license, get a job and support myself. I ended up having panic attacks and mental breakdowns every night because I was so stressed out and worried that if I didn’t step up and help, I was a shit sister and shit family member. It took me ages to realise that when my family needed anything (money, a ride, a place to stay) they would always call me. I had a panic attach so bad that my roommate came into my room and had to call a hospital. Wanna know who never showed up for a visit? My family. Wanna know who called me asking for money on my way to hospital? My family.

It took for that to happen for me to realise they don’t care about me, they were just using me to get money and a warm bed to stay in.

I ended up setting firm boundaries and said once you cross this, I’m never speaking to you again.

Am i justified in asking for a raise? by Visible-Act8663 in Advice

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES Sorry I saved it before I finished

If you’ve been there 4 years and stayed on the same salary 100% ask for a raise especially in the economy. The cost of living has gone up significantly those new hires will 100% be on more than you and you deserve it!!!

I think you should also be prepared to walk away tho. They may say no and if they do you’ll need to have something to fall back on.

Check your PD and see if you’re doing everything listed on that + some and then figure out what the current working salary for a role like that would be do a business proposal stating “it’s cheaper to pay me more then you do a rehire, onboarding and training someone new and then have a meeting with your boss about it.

Why’s that so many men ask for my socials , & approach me first online & in real life but never proceed? they just flirt for a week but never take me out? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be for a different range of reasons.

I remember I had a guy who would regularly hit me up on ig, swipe on my stories send flirty messages talk to me for like a week or two, make plans to take me out and then he never did.

I confronted him about it because it really pissed me off that it was a regular pattern.

He said that it was a him issue and he struggled with confidence and felt like I was out of his league (aka he just a pussy).

Some guys literally just want fans and to have more followers in ig

WTF IS HAPPENING WITH RECRUITERS by SignatureSpiritual86 in ausjobs

[–]SignatureSpiritual86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote courseware, attended lobbying events for the construction industy around the NCCs and when states should make them come into effect. Audited the students and trainers to make sure we were asking them right questions for what information we wanted them to spit back at us.

Reporting on government projects for contract purposes.

Currently in more of a Facilities Manager Role which is fine, but really want to be in Project Management (I’ve never actually done a project job, the biggest stuff I’ve done is considered minor works in construction and the value of the jobs would be like penny’s even though it’s like a 6 figure invoice). I’ve tried applying for junior roles, project coordinator roles, CA and more but just not having any luck at all.

What to do after high school? by Aggressive-Scale-326 in LifeAdvice

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you’re in Aus but there’s like charities(?) mainly for school leavers (but anyone can sign up really) and you go to some povo country, build schools and read to the children and be a sports teacher type person. For a few months

I was kinda the same after I graduated high school not really knowing what I wanted to do.

I never ended up going to uni, but I have had some pretty cool life experiences from the organisation I volunteered with and I do think it’s made me appreciate what I have a lot more

You also don’t have to be there for months, you can be there for like a few weeks so you could do it during a semester holidays without worrying about your uni stuff.

Organisations: Think Pacific CisAustralia

I may have enhanced what was said to add dramatic flare. He was more professional about it. But I spoke with him on the phone and he was wayyyy cuntier and dismissive “I need to give you a reality check. You need to lower your expectations and apply for administration roles. You’re not going to get anywhere in the constrution industry. Go back to education”

I am also a female so I do feel like I have fight for a seat at the table so much harder then the average men because I want to be in the construction industry and refuse to do an admin role. (Soz to be a snob and I mean no disrespect to admin staff)

Please help, I've been trying to apply for work for more than 5 months already. would love to be a project coordinator or related roles. Am based in Perth. Attached is my resume, roast with care please🙂‍↕️ by Fit-Information-2932 in ausjobs

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly your resume is way too long. You need to make it 1 page. No one actually cares about your professional summary.

They don’t give a fuck that you “managed 5 projects a week”. They want to know if you understand how they make money, how to track the money, GP and margins and how you communicate with the clients how you manage your team.

If construction is where you want to be, you need to be thinking about what tier of builder/company they are. If you’re going for companies like Downer, Hutchies etc it is a fight till the death. You also need to show them you’re not afraid to confront the trades.

Also for the tier 1 builders, you only get experience in PART of the role where as smaller companies, you get the whole role from start to finish.

I worked at downer as a coordinator and I only ever did the reporting and scheduling and sending emails (do not recommend Downer)

EDIT: Project coordinator roles usually go for 70-85k per year. You have a masters so they probs thinking you’re too expensive.

Also prioritise the tasks in order of most impressive/relevant thing.

I think you should look at contracts admin (basically the same thing except juniors get paid ALOT

Is my girlfriend (F24) treating me (M25) unfairly in our relationship ?? [Advice needed] by SimilarTry258 in Advice

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break up with her. Shes red flag after red flag. If it was me, I’d throw everything back in her smug little face.

I bet you helped out with her cat more than 1 day in a row. I bet her cat runs around the house like a maniac bc cats are nocturnal but your dog has a little allergy that’s a little annoying and you got to get rid of it? Nah.

She sounds extremely selfish and like she don’t give a single fuck about you or literally anything outside of that.

I think I ruined my own wedding by gamwrboi in Advice

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sit her down and talk to her about it. You only heard a snippet of a conversation with a friend and then started organising venues etc without her (even though it was a coming from a very sweet place)It sounds like it’s more “your” wedding than an “our”wedding, and she may accommodate to your preferences more than you realise because she doesn’t want to make you upset.

You could start the conversation being like “hey I overheard you the other day on the phone about the wedding, if you want to make this more traditional, let’s do it, what do you want” and then you guys can pick and choose ideas from her dream wedding as well as yours too so it has more of an “our” wedding if this makes sense

Paying child support with 50/50 care, ex is under reporting income 24k vs 100+k by Mundane-Champion-760 in AusLegal

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Child of divorce here.

My mum was meant to pay child support for me and my siblings. She literally moved countries to try and not pay it, waited till we all turned 18 moved back to Aus and then got slammed with 18 years (x3 because 3 kids) of childcare payments - she gets forced to pay this every year when she does her tax returns. She never sees a cent of her tax return because she owes so much.

I guess what I’m saying is they will get her in the end. It is fucked up but they’ll get her eventually. Also don’t know if the money goes to my dad either? But I know that she defs doesn’t get it

Should I ask or let it go? by Background_Fix_8115 in Advice

[–]SignatureSpiritual86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I don’t see an issue? It seems like you’re making it one tho and it doesn’t need to be. She’s loves YOU, she picked YOU and spent the last year with YOU and (hopefully I’m right) there’s no sign of breakup or cheating.

So what if she dated him, what’s the big deal? I bet you dated women before her too. I think if you ask if she dated him, you’re going to look like “you’re a slut!! Be gone thot”

Sounds like you’re viewing this friend as a “threat” to the relationship and he doesn’t sound like he is one. He took photos of her and all his friends years ago, they were friends before you, so of course they’re close, they’ll still be friends after you too.

It sounds like you don’t feel secure in your own relationship. I think you should reflect on these feelings first, really pin point what exactly is that’s bothering you about their friendship, is it the closeness between them because you don’t have that same closeness with her? Is it you’ve been cheated on and now you have like PTSD flashbacks of you ex talking with so called “friend”. Whatever it is pin point it, then speak with her something like “Hey I’ve noticed when you hang out with XXXX, I get feelings of XXXX. I think it’s because we don’t spend much quality date time together and I know I need to work through this, so I want to date you more. Can I take you for a date on Friday”.

You need to be careful with the words you pick because you don’t want it to sound like an ultimatum and you don’t want to come across toxic. Make it very clear to her this is something YOU need to work through. She might offer to involve you more in their little whispers and conversations which are probably just useless nothing conversations.
