G DID IT!!!!!!

Got the BEST NEWS EVER this morning. In October G sat a National Exam that he needed to pass (70% or higher) to advance in his career and become a customs broker, you also needed to have done a cert IV in international trade and facilitation at tafe, which he finished in 2006. He’s been putting off the exam because he’s been scared of failing it (it also costs $400 each time you sit it!), and hasn’t had faith in himself. Well myself and his family and colleagues finally talked him around, the results came out today and HE PASSED!!!!!!! got 79% 😀 So he can apply to be a customs broker now….. ahhh it’s such a relief and I’m so stoked for him just had to share. WOO!!!!!!!!

    G is very smart, the amount of knowledge he has about his job astounds me, he can look at nearly anything and rattle off the tarriff code for it and how much duty there is to import it…. I love his intelligence. We had a little celebration last night with pizza and chocolate (money’s super tight) but it’s his work chrissy party tonight (i got invited too yay!) and it’s a harbour cruise so will be a chance for him to relax a bit too 🙂 also giving him a nice big sleep in today hehe

    Well done to your partner BG what excellent news for you guys, things will be much easier now with the extra income and just in time for wedding plans and all, the perfect way to start your lives together as husband and wife. I can imagine you are all so very proud, you should take him out to dinner to celebrate or buy him a little reward, he must be a very intelligent guy 🙂

    It’s the best news we could’ve hoped for. So next week he can start getting his application for a brokers license together, and over the next few weeks his work should offer him a position as a broker (which mean another 10-15k in the pay packet as well as more responsibility)….. ah yay good day!
