I received a job offer today, sooner than I expected a few months ago. I am quite pleased that I have passed the interview successfully, yet I am not quite happy with the pay that is being offered to me. It is a bit below the industry average. But I have decided that I'll take up the position anyway, because I need one year work experience for my permanent resident visa.
I checked Ielts results online today, the results are rather quite disappointing. The band which I always did well in the past 3 IELTS test have put me down. I scored 6.5 for Speaking, which I didn't see that was coming because I always got 7.5.
The writing band, however, was improved to the satisfactory 7.0, yet one band under 7.0 will let the whole thing down. This was the 4th time I took the IELTS test, wasting hundreds of dollars. I was a bit nervous in the speaking test room and didn't do the 2nd part of the test well... :(
So I guess I will have another go, taking into account all the experience I have accumulated.
So many things to do. I feel flooded.
Still waiting for my visa being granted, and I need to take a medical test somewhere in the near future. A NAATI test as well.
And the biggest thing for me in the next 2 weeks is to have oral surgery to remove my 2 wisdom teeth and 4 molar teeth.
... to get braces.
Farewell,
