“Happiness is a mood, not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry, it’s not permanent, it comes and goes and that’s ok."
I heard this wonderful quote on a TV show years ago and it stuck with me because of how true it is.

I read an article a little while back called “Tips Around Selecting the Right Agency” which I wanted to share with everyone for all the wrong reasons and pull the article apart. When I read back over the article I realised it wasn’t actually a bad article and had some good information, it was simply the title that was wrong!

When filling in an Australian Tax File Number Declaration, we find the same two questions are asked by most candidates.
1) Am I an Australian resident for tax purposes (question 7)
2) Do I want to claim the tax free threshold (question 8)
In short, here are the answers that you should follow:
Question 7
Are you an Australian Resident for Tax Purposes?
- If you are an Australian resident, you would tick YES.
- If you are NOT an Australian Resident you would tick NO. (this includes candidates on Visa’s)
Question 8
Do you wish to claim the tax-free threshold from this payer?
- Tick YES to get taxed at a LOWER rate and have more money in your bank account each week.

With unpredictable and irregular patterns of work in conjunction with a high unemployment rate, labour hire employees are finding it more difficult than ever to live the great Australian Dream.
The Australian Dream has long been that success and security in life is built around home ownership, the idea that no matter how hard times may be economically or otherwise- owing a little piece of Australia for yourself is something that will hold your family in good stead.
So you've got a job interview. Congratulations! Here comes the hard part. You've got to figure out what to wear to the interview! Presentation for interviews can depend on many things such as industry, location and the job itself.
Without giving you a list of clothing you can wear, here are some tips on what NOT to wear.

Equal pay for equal work. In some industries there is a pay gap favouring men.
Women in Australia have been fighting for the right to equal pay since early this century. The principle of equal pay for equal work was recognised in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
in 1948. Since then, women’s right to equal remuneration has gained increasing international support.
