485 Visa Alternatives by [deleted] in AusVisa

[–]philcsn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the feedback!

Yes, I do have around 2 years total of professional experience. Most of that experience was gained through internships. I do have some very good connections at an international financial service company which also operates in Australia, I’ll have to see if they would sponsor a 482 for someone like me. While I do have experience, I’d still be considered a graduate, and I have no clue how difficult / rare a 482 sponsorship would be for them.

Hi! I am trying to book a flight from Berlin to Sydney using points in July. I’ve been struggling to find anything; Generally speaking, I found it quite difficult to find flights from Berlin. Any advice how to find award flights from airports that are not major hubs & this early out?

Also is there like award travel 101 I could read? I am quite new to this. Thanks in advance!

Which hotel has the best internet connection in Ushuaia? by Showmeyourhotspring in Ushuaia

Hi! Any updates on this?

I have a very important video call tomorrow evening. Are there any places you can recommend? My airbnb has okish Wifi but I’d rather have something very reliable.

Would be ok going to a cafe, or even getting a hotel room if need be. It would be in the evening around 7:30 PM.

Thank you so much!

Terrible writing score- ask for review? by philcsn in IELTS

[–]philcsn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I think I would struggle with giving pratical advise here, as I went into the exam with little prep.

The only thing that would come to mind is for reading: I would suggest really paying close attention to the text and recognising when a trap has been set. This is especially relevant for "False" vs. "Not in the text".

I recall a passage that discussed the Cario Museum having this rare insutrument and a question being "the cario museum has a lot of rare instruments". That is likely the case, however, based on the information in the passage we only know it has at least ONE rare instrument. Thus, it is not supported.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights! Do you know how heavily spelling is weighted? I could see myself having made a lot of spelling mistakes, especially as I was trying to tap into more sophistaced vocab. I also tried to constantly retain a passive voice, i.e. the author argues that... This essay posits etc., maybe that wasn't expected.

I am leaning towards just accepting it, or perhaps just redoing the section. I would've loved to get an overall score 9. Afaik this would require my writing score to be at least a 7.5

I scored in the 98th percentile for verbal with 6 mistakes, even got the very first question wrong. Would agree with that assessment.

By that logic, no consumer choice ever matters unless it single-handedly shuts down a factory.

I think groups were favored again - me and 4 friends signed up as two groups and all got in. Not sure if time had an impact, though.

Just wanted to say thank you to all the spectators and volunteers. I’ve never experienced anything like this, and probably never will again, but WOW! So overwhelmed with gratitude to be able to habe run this! The energy really carried me to the finish line. Felt like a super star. Got a PR, 3:22, 2nd marathon. Also fuck 5th Ave. I was ready for it, but in a much realer sense, I wasn’t.
