"Less than 2 years professional working experience after bachelor graduates or max 3 years of working experience for Master graduates"

my mistake, i guess you still good to go.

Still confused as shit lol.

My Dad does. Uses far less than he puts back into the grid, so they are always paying him. Paid itself off very quickly.

my parents have from memory an $8k or $9k solar install and have had it for about 2 years now i think

the did the first install and then added more panels later on. their power bill last year was $37 or something stupid like that for the whole year

because they have so many panels and dont use a lot of power they basically come out even for a while year. this is with my 2 parents and my brother in the house. they are pretty watchful of power usage but still have the usual plasma tv, pool pump, another tv, stereo, elec oven etc

more often than not they are sending power to the grid which just clocks up credits for them on their bill all the time

That's what I wanna hear.

i dont know when they will break even but it shouldnt be too far away

in comparison the power bill at my place with me and jess is $120 a month

ill sort out solar once we are married and all the expensive stuff is paid for

want to knock out a wall and get married first

[paulr33]

yeah its definetly a good step forward in saving money and the environment

if every 2nd household moves to solar imagine the slow decline reliance on fossil energy over time

it all adds up

ive seen poeple get those "power eco friendly" power boards that turn off your devices and shit when idle

dont bother with that crap all it does is annoy you and flick your devices off during idle / standby.

sure some devices may use a few watts at idle but if you have solar you are fine

[paulr33]

its like LP gas coversions, they reckon 2 years it has paid for itself

i think in darwin gas was $1.01 for some spazzo reason (we just got back from darwin today)

in melbourne its like $0.58 - no idea why?????

penis fuel was $1.55 and down here it is $1.37 - seems normal, not sure on gas

[llama_au]

Fingers crossed the same happens for my parents

He's very old school and a tightarse with electricity though so his bills were never massive anyway.

means if you have already been working in your field of study for more than 2yrs, then you are not entitled to apply for graduate position.

What's stopping people from saying they haven't worked for more than 2 years?

well as i said a smooth talker like yourself can play the game haha

Im sure the regular joe shmoe will dump all their experience into the resume and get caught out with too many years of exp.

However if you have worked for more than 2yrs in your field of study then a grad role would be a waste of time. Better off applying for a position instead.

now someone tell me how to access my iphone's icloud photostream photos on my android tablet.

I have the icloud program on my windows PC which shows the photos in the documents folder but dont think apple is going to release an android app anytime soon haha

Im thinking one option would be to set up sync to a different cloud server which has an android app (like google+ or dropbox etc) but then i'd have two photo storage places (icloud & dropbox)

hmmmz

My elec bill (on my own) was about $200 for the quarter so not a big deal...My parents is fairly massive though, $1000 a quarter (mum/dad and brother living there)...Pool pump 2 LCD's 1 plasma few fridges (2 old ones in the garage that won't be doing the bill any good) and running the split systems for heating until the ducted gas system is fixed which will take a massive chunk of usage out... But I can't see how it wouldn't pay itself off...They're getting the 31cent feed in tarrif, which is more than people pay for electricity, so as long as the panels are getting sun during the day, they should be in front. Ends in 2016 but I'd say they'd keep it going after that... People that got it before september 2011 get 60 something cents feed in which is massive and would pay itself off in no time if you had a big system..

penis fuel was $1.55 and down here it is $1.37 - seems normal, not sure on gas

I paid $400 for my gas conversion with the $2k govt rebate, so it paid itself off a long time ago I'd say

My parents have those things, do my fkin head in. I got em a universal remote so they didn't have to use 3-4 remotes to turn all the shit on to watch TV, but that power thing f**ks that up a bit... I'd rather leave the shit on standby at my joint than have to f**k around with my universal remote to get shit turned on

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, the latter. Grad positions are generally low salary and they prolly don't want to attract people expecting something decent / they'd have to pay more than 40-45k PA for.

Bigger companies willing to pay for the best. Doesn't hurt to apply and sit through interview. More experience in interviews the better
