Whoops! posted in the wrong REX cadet thread!
This is what I posted on the other thread:
"It's a small issue, but I feel the wording of the ad is important.They are calling for "expressions of interest", NOT "applications". There is a big difference.
"Expressions of interest" are just that, an expression of interest for positions that MIGHT become available.If a position then subsequently becomes available, you are then invited to apply.Also, there is no mention of "Contact Joe Bloggs for an information package" ,minimum requirements or an address to send CVs, as asked of applicants for engineering jobs in the same ad.
My instinct is that this is just an idea at this stage.How well advanced it is, is another question altogether.Just my thoughts."
At most, address what is asked in the ad and outline how you meet:
"*HSC (or equivalent) with satisfactory passes in Maths and English
*Permanent Australian Resident"
Another thing that occurs to me in the ad is that they DON"T say half the cost will be covered, but that "UP TO half the fees" will be covered.Does this mean that the amount of the scolarship has not yet been decided, or will vary from individual to individual?
Core and non core promises perhaps?
Having said all that, I have expressed interest!
