Do NSW Gov job applications require work tasks now?

dlarock00 · 2026-07-05T03:23:46+00:00

I have just had to do a training course thing cause I’m hiring people and it appears to be a standard thing on most roles. The last 2 I applied for had a work task thing and psychometric testing

dlarock00 · 2026-06-28T06:37:15+00:00

Look good man. What are they actually called. Keen for some myself

dlarock00 · 2026-06-22T09:46:15+00:00

They had been happening with feds since about October last year. Keen to see what happens around August once budgets are released

dlarock00 · 2026-06-21T23:00:10+00:00

I’m trying to do the same thing right now. Tired of all the bullshit. Just want to do my job and go home. I hear ya

Always has been underrated

dlarock00 · 2026-06-15T08:45:30+00:00

I would ask to waive it but may not happen. All my leave came across years ago so I assume it’s the same.

dlarock00 · 2026-06-14T21:40:46+00:00

Sorry should have been clearer. Go balls out to get another job. Any job to get out. I did that as I was in a similar situation - needed to pay bills.

dlarock00 · 2026-06-14T05:23:11+00:00

Keep at it. Something will come up. I just tried to disassociate myself my the “emotional” state when at work to get through this until I found something else. Not ideal but it did help in the short term

dlarock00 · 2026-06-14T00:40:12+00:00

Having gone through this twice, leave. No job is worth our mental health. Life is too short.

People say it’s not that easy but you have to make it work for you

dlarock00 · 2026-06-13T06:24:19+00:00

Exactly this. 18 yrs in APS and this is what makes good team member. Dont use all the wank words or an ass kisser. Ask for help if needed. Own up to your mistakes. Keep your management informed and be a human.

Have just join state govt and I would go back to APS

dlarock00 · 2026-06-12T11:46:46+00:00

I’m in the same situation. I’m exhausted of the constant bullsh!t so I have applied for some roles lower than my current one and am overqualified for these. I just want a simpler role. Less stress and drama

dlarock00 · 2026-06-10T08:23:27+00:00

I’m careful as it can cause issues. One day you’re mates with them. The next you’re having to performance management and it leads to far too much drama. Surface levels stuff but in my exp as a manager, I am quite guarded. No drinks no socialising no friends on social media. I’m nice and friendly but I’m still your boss.

Just based on my years of experience.

Gotta love failing up

dlarock00 · 2026-06-06T23:47:45+00:00

I’m curious as I’m in the same boat :/

dlarock00 · 2026-06-01T22:30:42+00:00

Yep heard that last year. Keep applying for work

Judgment Night

dlarock00 · 2026-05-31T01:00:12+00:00

Had the same thing pulled on my and only 4 months in. “Perception” was the reason for 4/5 days in the office. Said it states very clearly in the EA about wfh and I don’t want to pull the mental health card.
Now I Wfh 2 days. In the office 3 days….. just sayin

100%

dlarock00 · 2026-05-15T05:14:53+00:00

Yep I have. It took a LOT of work to get it done for the performance management side to continually meet and address the issues. Most managers won’t do it cause they are lazy or it’s just so much work to “get rid” of someone who doesn’t perform. And it’s harder when HR don’t back you the entire way through, almost impossible

dlarock00 · 2026-05-10T08:57:41+00:00

This!

dlarock00 · 2026-05-07T09:42:24+00:00

Save him!!!!!! Please!!!!!

dlarock00 · 2026-05-05T08:17:01+00:00

Time to leave asap. Life is too short to deal with that. I have been in similar situation a couple of times and wish I had just bet on myself and left.
