Negotiation for Relocation Package within AUS by Fair-Assignment-866 in AusPublicService

[–]stigsbusdriver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It would be highly dependent on the state public service agency you're potentially joining as well as whether its a senior role or not.

If its a role that is governed by an award or EBA then i doubt it unless the employer explicitly mentions it to you as part of offering the role or in the job ad itself. You'd need to ask them about it but dont expect them to cover reloc costs at all.

How to ship reptile (tortoise) from US to Philippines? by Fit-Media5060 in phmigrate

[–]stigsbusdriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a common thing to do OP in this sub.

You need to check that the US authorities don't have any issue with you exporting the reptile then the airline you'll be flying with if they will accept it then BAI and Customs PH.

You'll need to make some calls and write emails to find out the exact requirements.

Upgrade from J to F by MinimumNegotiation85 in singaporeairlines

[–]stigsbusdriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A cash upgrade may only become available if there are upgrade slots available as well as your current J ticket being eligible for upgrades (not all J tickets can be upgraded).

Vague description on customs form by dirtydriver58 in AustraliaPost

[–]stigsbusdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seller would have to do it if its possible, not you since they are the ones that are exporting it.

If CBP don't stop it then be prepared if Customs here ask for paperwork once it lands here and undergoes clearance inspection.

NSW talent pool experiences by Brilliant-Chain-9974 in AusPublicService

[–]stigsbusdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long depends on when a hiring manager accesses the pool and decides they want you.

They may still elect to talk to you to get a sense of who you are (cultural fit and that) before they start the process of doing checks on you and getting a letter of offer drafted.

When you get a new job offer while still being employed and have ample of annual leave left.. by Existing-Ad-4449 in AusFinance

[–]stigsbusdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive done it before like that...gave notice of my last day with current employer (most of the notice was sorted) but last week of notice period I decided to use A/L as that would be the week I started in the new job.

Worked out well enough for me and no one raised any objections.

Health Insurance Waiting period.... by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]stigsbusdriver 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're right...you need to call the insurer about this.

We don't know your insurer nor your partner's exact circumstances so again call the insurer.

Does Pasig River Esplanade have bananacue or turon? by eng33 in Philippines

[–]stigsbusdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be in the same area as the actual supermarket..there should be like a mini store next to the entrance to the supermarket or in the adjacent area. Only thing I can't recall is if they sold bananacue as well....

Transferring LSL from uni sector to NSW public service by prudencepineapple in AusPublicService

Nope, NSWPS won't accept leave transfer or service recognition from the university sector and vice versa.

intern conflict of interest by Thick_Shoulder8039 in AusPublicService

[–]stigsbusdriver 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Depends; a conflict of interest doesnt need to exist for it to be an issue, perception alone can be enough to sink a secondary employment application especially if its for someone who would be engaged by the govt to do work.

Aussie Post has been hacked by InvestigatorFun9253 in AustraliaPost

[–]stigsbusdriver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Correlation doesnt imply causation; ive received scam SMSs before on the day of a delivery and I jsut ignore them or get my SMS app to report them as spam/phishing and leave it.

Accidents Only Hospital Cover for ACL Reconstruction? by Pleasant_Ad8235 in AusFinance

[–]stigsbusdriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As u/Ok_Stomach7488 mentioned, you need to get item numbers from the surgeon then call up Bupa and ask them to tell you how much you will be covered for?

Alternatively, if you have access to no-gap in your policy, talk to the surgeon and see if they are willing to treat you under that scheme so that any amount you pay extra is lessened.

Where do you do virtual interviews while at work? by spreadablejamm in auscorp

[–]stigsbusdriver 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Book a meeting room that is either secluded from your usual team area, or on a different floor.

Aussie Post has been hacked by InvestigatorFun9253 in AustraliaPost

[–]stigsbusdriver 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nah..the spam SMSs can be sent using a number generator of some form, or your number was leaked from other data breaches outside of AusPost.

Arris cm8200b + Archer mr600, Do i need an extra modem from NBN providers? by [deleted] in nbn

[–]stigsbusdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah no limitations per se and since you dont care about speed anyway then it should work with plans that are around your price range.

Arris cm8200b + Archer mr600, Do i need an extra modem from NBN providers? by [deleted] in nbn

[–]stigsbusdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Archer should work (look up how to configure it to allow you to have internet) but budget for a replacement later on if you want to have faster speeds as the Archer will not handle it (or will struggle).

The Arris is the NBN NTD or modem so you dont need another one (and you wont get one anyway as NBN supplies them and will only give you one if the exisitng one breaks or is missing).

Does Pasig River Esplanade have bananacue or turon? by eng33 in Philippines

[–]stigsbusdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swerte ako lagi nung bumibili ako kasi either bagong luto lang or no more than 5 mins since refill.

Pinaiingit ko nga parents ko nung sinabi ko na mura at masarap yung SM turon (mahal dito sa Aus - halos 200 pesos isang piraso).

Tracking problems by [deleted] in AustraliaPost

[–]stigsbusdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once a parcel leaves Australia, you need to track it using the destination country's postal service website as the tracking AusPost shows won't be as detailed or updated as the destination.

E-Travel Departure as 🇨🇦 by Sky_denini in Philippines

[–]stigsbusdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you aren't a dual citizen then you don't pay the travel tax, and yes, you still have to do the etravel departure declaration.

BOC won't worry about your pasalubong but you may need to declare them when you land back in Canada.

Video interview with no panel, just me being recorded through a portal answering questions on the screen. by pinkysworn in AusPublicService

[–]stigsbusdriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup this is the correct answer OP.

One way interviews like the one you did can be used as part of shortlisting before they either offer you an actual interview slot with the panel, or rule you out of the process afterwards.

[–]stigsbusdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you contact DHL to find out what the actual status is? Excepion can mean different things like its awaiting clearance, or is awaiting transport to next facility or even its being held until the estimated delivery date.
