(I wouldn't recommend going for the PO post if you already have
a degree.) If the aus govt recognises it, then it shouldn't be a
problem. A really easy way of checking, I think, is simply typing
the name of your university when you fill in your resume at the
[email protected] portal. If it's in the drop down list then I don't see
why it wouldn't be recognised.
Maybe you could drop SPF recruitment a line about your BMI
concerns? BMI isn't the best indication of health/fitness anyway
(athletes usually have higher BMIs etc.).
If by 1st round of interview you mean the selection assessment,
based on the posts in this forum, they seem to contact people
usually within a month to inform them if they've been shortlisted
or not. The speed of processing will probably depend on when they
manage to schedule each assessment stage i.e. Person A applies 6
weeks before the selection assessment X, Person B applies 4 weeks
before the selection assessment X > both are informed 1 week
before the selection assessment date. At least, that's how I think
it goes. Since you've already graduated, I think you'd be
prioritised on the list, as opposed to someone graduating only the
2nd quarter of the year.
Once the process starts, though, from SA to final interview,
shortest duration that will last is a month (. They may
have been streamlining their processes the past two years,
especially this past year it seems (?). The waiting game based on
previous threads seems a right torture.
(and call me dvjes. I think that's easier to type/remember
anyway xD)
