When?

Download your ATAR Advice Notice from 10am on Friday 15 December.

How?

Log in to our website or the My UAC app. You'll need your Year 12 student number

(or UAC application number) and your UAC PIN. Can't find them?

Year 12 student number: It's printed on your School Certificate Record of Achievement and your school keeps a

record of it. You can also call the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) on 1300 13 83 23.

Join us on Wednesday 6 December from 2–3pm for a live video chat about the ATAR and offers. Visit our Facebook event

page to post your questions and we'll do our best to answer them during the live stream.

What does it all mean?

The ATAR helps tertiary institutions select applicants for their courses.

That's why it's called the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank. The ATAR tells you how well you've achieved in the

NSW HSC compared with the students who started Year 7 with you. For example, if you receive an ATAR of 70.00

you know you are in the top 30 per cent of your cohort.

FAQ

ATARs are not the same as course cut-offs.

Course cut-offs = ATAR + bonus points. Therefore, offers are made to applicants with ATARs below the cut-off.

Each institution sets its own criteria for allocating bonus points. Find out about the different types of bonus

points available to Year 12 students.

Cut-offs

My Skills Website

A new initiative launched late November by the Government will showcase and promote the diverse range of rewarding careers available through vocational education and training.

The real skills for real careers initiative involves people sharing their personal VET success stories in videos, podcasts, brochures, posters and across social media. The first video stars VET Alumni and Australian Apprenticeships Ambassadors talking passionately and honestly about their experiences. The new initiative also features a refreshed My Skills website, with an improved version of the national directory of VET in Australia.

To find out more about the initiative, and watch the real skills for real careers video, visit www.myskills.gov.au.

My Skills website is the national directory of vocational education and training (VET) organisations and courses. It is an Australian Government initiative to enable consumers to search for, and compare, VET courses and training providers.

Five questions to expect in your next job interview Article courtesy of Australian Careers Service, Newsletter (email), 30 Nov 2017

Job interviews are one of the more nerve- wracking

experiences going around, particularly for university

graduates. Polishing your resume, drafting cover

letters and building a portfolio can be taxing, and

that’s before you even get to the interview

stage.

To give you a heads up, we’ve compiled a list of

questions that tend to be asked in almost every

interview, and provided some tips on how best to

respond.

1. CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF?

This is generally the first cab off the rank. Your

prospective employer will want to get a gauge on the

type of person you are and how you got here. It’s best

to give a brief overview of your education and

employment history but don’t spend five minutes

describing your second year at uni in great detail.

Don’t be afraid to mention where you are from, any

major interests and why you work in this industry.

2. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE COMPANY?

This one definitely requires preparation. In years gone by, this would have been a more difficult task but in modern

times, researching a company is easy. Comb through their website and pay specific attention to things like mission

statements and about us sections, many of which will have photos and profiles on senior employees. Many

businesses have a strong social media presence, so get acquainted with the company’s LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter,

Instagram and any other accounts they operate.

3. WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THIS ROLE?

It’s wise to give a two-pronged answer here, one that includes how it will benefit both yourself professionally and

the business. Highlight how your qualifications and experience are relevant to the company, and explain how you

can use your skillset to influence the business in a positive way. From a personal perspective, refer to how you see

strong potential for career growth and progression, or that this is a specific sector you want to work in.

4. CAN YOU GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF WHEN YOU’VE RESOLVED A CONFLICT IN A WORKPLACE/UNIVERSITY

ENVIRONMENT?

This can be a tricky one, especially for fresh graduates who have never worked in a traditional professional

environment. If this is the case, think back to any group assignment you’ve ever completed, where there is often an

issue with some contributing less than others. You can even reference a former part-time job that isn’t relevant to

Page 9: UAC News - gpcc.nsw.edu.au · Job interviews are one of ... Avoid answers like “I ... As the business continues to grow there is a new opportunity for a highly committed Electrical

the role you’re applying for – employers don’t tend to worry about the context, rather that you can identify a

problem and figure out a way to fix it.

5. DO YOU HAVE ANY WEAKNESSES?

While it can seem like a loaded question, it is more about seeing whether you can critique yourself honestly, because

you will have to get used to receiving feedback in the workforce. Avoid answers like “I’m too committed to my

career” and give an honest appraisal about something that you are actively working on improving, with an example

of how you are trying to get better.
