Brother!

By -
Well my Big Brother wasn't very pleased about my plans regarding the CA foundation course at Deakin, especially since he'd have to pay for at least half of the relatively expensive investment.

So I decided that I'll go in for CIMA entirely self-funded. In retrospect that's a good idea, since I'll also have a lot more market worth. Following up with a CA should get me places, especially if I can just get some good ERP/ BI experience in the meantime and hope my timing is right (I will be timing the job market demand, immigration policy and many other cycles). But this is probably going to take a lot more time.

    Hello,

    Don't know where you are up to, as in progress to your migration to Australia. You mention that you are planning to do a distance education course in accounting through Deakin university, you might want to check whether this study would be recognise for earning you points for you visa application.

    To tell you the truth, the best way I have seen so far is to actually to study onshore that way you get an understanding of the local culture and then apply for migration.

    In your case you have a family, but I think with a student visa you can also bring your family here. You may have to take part-time jobs here and there, but there is not easy way out of this.

    All the best.

    Rashida.

Digital Analyst Career Essentials - Google Analytics Certification

Okay, so you've used web tools and metrics to make decisions. Why not get certified? It's free and helps you with your goals, be it marketability or simply gaining confidence you know your way around digital. If you're not already familiar with web analytics, it is probably the best known universe where big data and intuitive browser based GUI tools come together. While you would expect it easy to find the right link to get certified, this is probably the only OFFICIAL link you need to point your browser:  https://academy.exceedlms.com/student/path/2938 There are links from there to access the preparation course materials with all the information you need to know, nothing more. In true Google style, there's a lot of whitespace. Keep in mind: You'll need a score of 80% or higher to pass If you end the assessment early or the timer runs out before you've answered enough questions correctly, you won't pass If you still don't believe me, then...

One night stands vs. long-term relationships

By -
Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury of time. Sometimes, time is spent planning and procrastinating as well, and then every hour is worth approximately an average of 40 times as much just before an examination. The 40 times calculation is obviously a result of my now-more-analytical mindset, after going through the physics of cost accounting examinations. You see, it took me an average of 6 to 8 hours for a single chapter at the beginning of my study schedule – this soon became an average of 6 to 8 chapters in a single hour by the end of it. And that’s just the theory part of it. Not practicing is a recipe for disaster – practice is usually the main ingredient of a successful study program, which is why there was a lot of time spent improvising during the examination. Maybe I should wait till mid-July when the results are out to blog about it, but I need to note some important lessons from the three nights and days of the exam - specifically, the CIMA Operational Level papers: E1...
