If you don't get the bank job, are you gonna go for the mining job still?I had the mining company interview last week (I think. I get days and dates mixed up). I was emailed today by them saying my background in IT is not what they're after. If I'd finished the Programming course, I would have gotten it, most likely. Bummer.Quote from: Jack on December 11, 2018, 08:55:22 PMQuote from: renaeden on December 11, 2018, 03:15:54 AMWent for an interview about a scholarship at a bank in the city. It felt a little bit awkward when I was being shown around as they were asking questions about my studies. I felt my answers weren't what they wanted. I found out all the other applicants were either doing or have done computer science at uni. And here I am, going to TAFE. I'd be very surprised if I get the scholarship but if I do, I think I'd really enjoy it. It just looked like a neat place to work.How did you find out about the other applicants? You mentioned before, having to submit your diagnosis with your resume; does that imply a disability is a hiring advantage? All the applicants were interviewed together. I got the chance to talk to some of them before we went in for the group interview.Part of the deal hiring autistics is because it makes the company look good hiring a demographic that typically has very low employment numbers. There's also the idea that autistics are great when it comes to having anything to do with computers. That's me being cynical because I'm pretty much the bottom of the heap when it comes to anything computery. As with uni I end up studying twice as much to produce the same output as everyone else.I don't know if that answered your question.

I told The PR I was going grocery shopping.Went to my favorite diner for the spaghetti and meatball special. Then I went to one grocery store. Came back with 4 items. I told her I'd gone to 2 stores, but the selection wasn't great and that I'd try again Saturday. Mommy told a fib, Mommy told a fib.
No takeout bag for her?
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

Parents give a lot most of the time, it's just fine to keep a little to ourselves once in awhile. So far I've had a shower, fed the dogs, did some work, and got my groceries and Facetimed my niece.
