永住申請ゴールデン・エージ

ここのところ175＋CSLの審査が超速。

申請からGrantまで最短で1ヶ月。
2月後半に申請してもう永住をもらっている人がいるからすごい。

自分のときは半年もかかったのに。。
まぁ、さらにその昔は審査に一年以上かかっていたようだから愚痴るのは贅沢。

にしても、怠けているイメージがあるAussieだけれども、その気になればできるお子達のようだ。

OZに住んで2年経って学校に行く場合は補助金が出る可能あり。
収入と銀行預金があると難しそう。条件Centrelinkで要確認。

自分の周りに英語環境なさすぎて困っているこの頃。というわけで、日本語勉強中のクリスティーナさん
（カナダ在住）を見つけて日本語←→英語のランゲージ・エクスチェンジを始めた。なんと時差14時間です。

英語のレッスンをしたイギリス人曰く

・リアクションがよくない。
・ユーモアがたりない。

学生の頃、働いて３年したら会社をやめてイギリスへ行ってMBAを取って成り上がることを夢見ていた。
夢を見るのはタダ、そしてただ夢をみるだけ。それを口にする自分に酔いしれていた。
そして3年がたっても何も変わらなかった。夢を成就出来ていない自分がたまらなく嫌だった。
友達の多くがすごくなって行く一方、自分だけが取り残されていくような気がした。
子供の頃自分が物語の主人公であることを信じて疑わなかったけど、今はこの様だ…

、というようなことが頭をよぎったのでメモを残す。

結局同じさ

Dear Mr. (or Ms.) last name,

Start your letter with a grabber—a statement that establishes a connection with your reader, a probing question, or a quotable quote. Briefly say what job you are applying for.

The mid-section of your letter should be one or two short paragraphs that make relevant points about your qualifications. You should not summarize your resume! You may incorporate a column or bullet point format here.

Your last paragraph should initiate action by explaining what you will do next (e.g., call the employer) or instigate the reader to contact you to set up an interview. Close by saying “thank you.”

Sincerely yours,
Your handwritten signature
Your name (typed)

Sample Cover Letter 1: Conservative/ Formal

his letter, sent to a human resources manager at a traditional firm, stays well within the boundaries of convention. The writer briefly outlines her skills and experience, shows she's done some research on the firm, says she'll be available, and closes. It's appropriate for the job she's seeking.

Mr. G Berger
Manager of Human Resources
ABC Investments Inc.

Philadelphia, PA 123456
Dear Mr. Berger:
I am applying for the position of client account coordinator, which was advertised Aug. 4 with the career services center at The Pennsylvania State University. The position seems to fit very well with my education, experience, and career interests.
According to the advertisement, your position requires excellent communication skills, computer literacy, and a B.S. degree in business, economics, or finance. I will be graduating from Penn State University this month with a B.S. degree in finance. My studies have included courses in computer science, management information systems, speech communications, and business writing. I understand the position also requires a candidate who is team- and detail-oriented, works well under pressure, and is able to deal with people in departments throughout the firm. These are skills I developed both in my course work and in my recent internship at Hunter & Katchur Finance Inc. in Boalsburg, Pa.
My background and goals seem to match your requirements well. I am confident that I can perform the job effectively, and I am excited about the idea of working for a dynamic, nationally recognized investment management firm.
If you would like to schedule an interview or otherwise discuss my interest in this position, please call me at 123/456-7890. I will be available at your convenience.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Amy ABC

Sample Cover Letter 2: Creative/ Informal

This letter, sent directly to the firm's art director, starts off differently than a traditional letter and maintains a less formal tone throughout. As in the traditional letter, the writer outlines his skills and shows he knows something about the employer. But his research on the firm has shown him that he can be a little less formal—in fact, such informality will most likely benefit him.

I also know that I have the training and ability it takes to produce compelling images for your web and print publications. My B.S. degree in graphic design and my internship experiences have taught me how to bring ideas to life on time and under budget.

Have the employer done reference check?
If not, basically, no hope anymore.
Usually, after interview, if you are listed as No.1. the employer will phone you that they will perform reference check on the second day. or phone you that you are the right person.
Otherwirse, the employer must been checking someone else and you are on the waiting list.
Only all the people listed before you have failed or refused, then it is yours.

ネタに出来そうなので暗記しよ。

远看澳洲像天堂，

近看澳洲像银行，
到了澳洲像牢房，

不如回家放牛羊，
个个都说澳洲好，
人人都往澳洲跑，
澳洲挣钱澳洲花，
都说这里工资高，
害我没钱买牙膏，
都说这里伙食好，
青菜里面加青草，

都说这里环境好，
蟑螂蚂蚁四处跑，
都说这里领班帅，
个个平头像锅盖，
年年打工年年愁，
天天加班像只牛，
加班加点无报酬，
天天挨骂没理由，
碰见老板低着头，
发了工资摇摇头，
到了月尾就发愁，
不知何年才出头.
