Full transcript
Before we finish today, let's confirm your job search plan. Your interview with Bendigo Health is scheduled for 10:30am this Thursday, so make sure you're ready.
Danke, ich habe mir das Datum notiert. Aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, wie viele Bewerbungen ich diesen Monat noch schreiben muss, weil sich die Regeln geändert haben, oder?
That's right, the fixed four-applications rule doesn't exist anymore. Under the Points Based Activation System, you earn points through applications, training, or volunteering each month.
Ach so, das ist gut zu wissen. Wie viele Punkte muss ich denn ungefähr sammeln, und zählt auch ehrenamtliche Arbeit dazu?
Your provider sets your monthly target based on your capacity; we discuss it together, and yes, volunteering, training and interviews all count toward it.
Verstanden. Aber was passiert, wenn ich am Donnerstag krank bin? Ich habe manchmal starke Migräne und weiß nicht, ob ich zum Termin kommen kann.
If you're unwell, just contact us as soon as possible before the interview; you won't lose your payment if you have a valid reason.
Das erleichtert mich. Soll ich dann anrufen, oder reicht es, wenn ich euch über die App Bescheid gebe?
Either works — call our Ballarat office or message us through the Workforce Australia app; just don't wait until after the appointment time has passed.
Gut, das merke ich mir. Wissen Sie zufällig, um welche Stelle es bei Bendigo Health geht? Ist es eine Vollzeitstelle oder nur Teilzeit?
It's a part-time position, twenty hours a week in the pathology department, with potential to increase after three months if performance is good.
Zwanzig Stunden pro Woche klingt perfekt für mich. Ich werde auf jeden Fall pünktlich um halb elf da sein, vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
