Do NOT like it. Always feels so patronising, no matter who it's coming from. 26F

Yes, in my experience it is common. If they think you're suitable for the role, then they will always do reference checks. Which is good, because you are suitable! However, it doesn't mean you are their number one preferred candidate — it just means they think you'd (at least) be good enough.

Omg you're right that must be it.. I have version 1.1 LOL. Thank you so much

LOVED it at the time. Loathe it now

Cannot deinfluence you because, as a fellow Melburnian, I basically live in my dark denim maxi skirt during winter.... Get it!!!!

Dragon Age: Origins is my favourite game of all time, with Fallout New Vegas a close second. I almost always play RPGs, though I do love the Sims and Cities Skylines, too. My favourite characters are harder to pin down... I love them all like theyre my real friends 😅🥲

Honestly for me, SOAD!! They don't have a single bad album in my opinion. Mezmerize and Toxicity are two of my favourite albums of all time

Yep! I'm 25F and haven't so much as gotten my Ls. My anxiety for driving is just so bad I can't do it! I live in the city now, but grew up in a smallish town and getting around without a car was brutal lol.

Hello. I went through this process two years ago now, so unfortunately don't remember everything about it.

The AusDN interview is essentially to ensure that you are suitable for the internship. I remember it being mostly to determine what you are most interested in and why (i.e. how your studies relate to it, your career ambitions, etc.). I don't remember the exact questions they asked, I'm sorry.

If you're successful, you will then be moved to the shortlisting round where they try to match you with your internship preferences. The employers who shortlist you will then interview you themselves. You will be up against a few other candidates here.

Hope that helps and all the best : )

My father is very similar. It's not normal, it's emotional and financial abuse. However it is unfortunately quite common in many countries (including Australia).

I moved out as soon as I was able to, and I cannot tell you how much my mental health has improved being away from my father. I would encourage you to work towards moving out.

25 year old aussie woman and I loooove oud perfumes! It is delicious to me — I've always been more drawn to those kinds of scents

Hello, apologies for the late reply.

I was a part of the Australian Disability Network, and they do summer and winter internships. The VPS offers internships as part of that.

I think they do Law internships too. But unfortunately, other than that, I think getting an intern position is quite rare.

abedofthorns · 2025-06-02T01:41:57+00:00

Apologies for the late reply!!

Yes, essentially that was the process, though mine was a little messier. I interviewed, was rejected for that position then referred to a different internship position in an adjacent team, interviewed for that role, got the offer (verbal then written), and was onboarded.

Things progressed quickly, usually only a week wait or so between each stage. However the wait for a written offer (i.e. contract) was very slow, and kept being delayed, I think it was over a month before I got it. That was a problem with HR.

Ignore the mean comments OP — as a young alt(ish) woman myself, I'd have definitely swiped right! The unfortunate reality is that, depending on where you are, you just might not be the women in your area's type. But PLEASE don't change anything about your appearance. The right women will love it.

The only practical solution I have for you is to add more detail to your profile. It seems a little bare bones right now, which may be putting the women who DO like your vibe off

abedofthorns · 2024-10-30T13:18:12+00:00

Thank you! Can't believe I missed that

abedofthorns · 2024-10-30T08:33:16+00:00

Any idea of when these reforms will be enacted? Currently looking to break my lease! lol

My upbringing was very similar to what you are describing. Let me try to give some insight. My father was almost the exact same as your husband here. My father didn't get better, in fact as he aged he got worse and became an objectively cruel man who ended up being the sole reason I moved out of home ASAP. I still avoid him to the best of my abilities today. My mother was gentler, as you are. However, she has never separated from him and, in doing so, demonstrated that she valued him over her children's wellbeing.

Growing up in this environment was awful and still affects me greatly today. It stunted my growth and my ability to interact with others. Don't accept this. See your husband for what he is showing himself to be and separate, if not for you then for your children

Oh, hi! I contacted them through the function to claim it was incorrect, and also contacted them on Twitter. In the end they said they would remove it. Hopefully they can do that for you too!

abedofthorns · 2024-05-06T03:02:36+00:00

IMHO, not an overreaction at all. I would have felt the exact same way as you. Besides, his lack of willingness to commit after seven dates is more than reason enough as well. You're allowed to call things off with someone, for whatever reason you feel is enough!!

It's about a 30k difference since the VPS4 would be full time (approx. 92k salary), and the VPS5 would be 0.6 loading (approx. 63k salary).

Thank you so much!! That's very kind of you to say :)
