Job Offers

At first I thought that today was such a bad day.

I overslept, I slacked, and I was late for a resume check which is very important as I am applying for an Industry Based Learning in Monash.
The application itself is due this Friday and I am left with the 500-word statement to be checked before I send my application.

Moreover, it was such a hot day in the morning, I was sweating a lot and I even thought that summer came too early to Melbourne.

In campus, I strayed myself around.
I printed study materials, I had lunch, I drank coffee, I browsed internet, etc etc.....

Then my group mate called to meet for assignment. The group meeting was supposed to be at 12pm and it was 2pm when she called me.... =___=
When I was to go to the meeting place which is located in different building, there was a storm, it rained heavily and I was like, "S**t!"

And here I went with my determination for assignment, rushing through rain. I was wet from head to toe. And guess what time my friends came? 2.35pm, great.....

While we were having a meeting,I got a call from Red Energy, an energy company located in Richmond. She offered me a telesales assistant position as I was not selected in the other 2 jobs that I applied. It will be an interesting job as I will be dealing with phone calls. It's an Australian company so I'm sure I'll be able to develop myself in Australian culture. What's better, the environment won't be that bad as she said that there are a lot of students doing part-time in that company.
The pay itself is quite good I think, the job required me to spare 20-hour per week and I'll get $40,000 p.a pro rata.

What's the definition of pro-rata? I searched through Google and the easiest definition was found through Yahoo! Answer:

So that means that I'll be getting about $20,000p.a if I work part-time.
If I got accepted here (I will hear the decision this Friday), I cannot take other part-time jobs as I will breach my visa if I do so.

But I can do it, as it's going to be summer holiday, so I can work MORE!

Then there is this call from New Zealand Ice Cream, she offered me a job as well and wished to have an interview asap. I arranged it for this Friday morning. I'm sure this week is going to be a very hectic week for me indeed.....

She required me to do at least 4 6-hour shifts per week, so a minimum of 24 hours per week during summer!

And I'm going to do a Group Assessment with Woolworths as well tomorrow, well, group assessment is just like a group interview where they also test your abilities....

So, which one should I choose?
