Half of migrant workers in Australia feel unsafe at work, survey finds

 Half of all migrant workers in Australia feel unsafe at work, experiencing discrimination, bullying and verbal abuse, while 58% experienced wage theft, new research has found.

The Migrant Workers Centre surveyed more than 1,000 workers in Australia about their experiences in the job market and migration system, and found many migrants experienced discrimination in job application processes because of their visa status, despite having work rights, which pushed them towards insecure work and exploitative employers.

He described the “perverse outcome” of the “dual market” created by Australia’s visa system whereby skilled migrants need to obtain a permanent job to get a permanent visa, but find they are discriminated against for permanent jobs when they do not have a permanent visa.

“We see engineers mowing lawns and doctors driving Ubers. That’s a huge disadvantage not only to the workers themselves but to society that really needs the skills and experience that migrant workers bring to this country.”

Migration and the precarious workforce

 Robert came to the UK in 2008 with a law degree and speaking three languages.

• He has worked for 10 years in Britain's precarious workforce
• He and his wife split a few months ago, he says, when the family’s money ran out. 
• What’s left now is a bank account in almost permanent overdraft and a 38-year-old man tearing himself apart over his broken life here. “I’m an idiot,” he says. “I’ve wasted myself.”
• What keeps Robert here now are the weekend visits with his daughter. 

But after 10 years in Britain he’s learned something else too, about the reality of a country that claims to welcome foreigners, even as they punish them. An economy that promises a better life to those it then sucks dry. A society that kids itself that it’s a soft touch when really, it is as cold and hard as any interminable overnight shift.

How I got the certification, AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate

Course

• I did the course of learn.cantrill.io its longer than others, but you learn a lot about AWS. 
• I took a lot of notes, and use them latter to study.

Practice Exams

I did the practice exams from TD(tutorialsdojo.com) mainly in review mode, and got these results

1° attempt timed Mode Set 1    71

2° attempt timed Mode Set 1    93

1° attempt  review Mode Set 2    88

1° attempt  review Mode Set 3    69

1° attempt  review Mode Set 4    74

1° attempt  review Mode Set 5    69

1° attempt  review Mode Set 6    72

1° attempt  review Mode Set 7    71

Final test 91

I didn't see improvements in my scores in the first attempts. I only saw an improvement when I did the final test and got a 91. After that, I started my second attempts, and got these results

2° attempt timed Mode Set 2    88

2° attempt timed Mode Set 3    89

After getting those scores, I decided I was ready for the exam. I scheduled it and fortunately approve it with a score of 836/1000. I found the certification exam very similar to the practice exams, but the first attempt on the practice exams is more challenging.

Review mode is perfect for the first attempt on the practice exams because it gives you immediate feedback that allows you to learn faster from your mistakes and fill your knowledge gaps. If you're worried about the timing, use an external stopwatch while doing the review mode. I used the android app Easy Stopwatch.

A 30-minute exam extension is available upon request to non-native English speakers when taking an exam in English https://aws.amazon.com/certification/policies/before-testing/

Recommendations

• Do all the questions in all the practice exams in review mode. Don't obsesses about the scores. 
• The final test score is the closest to what you will get in the certification exam.

Goodfellas and a criminal life with no regrets

Goodfellas starts with

And ends with Henry Hill sadness for no longer being a ganster

And Sid Vicious singing My Way

Regrets, I've had a few

But then again, too few to mention

I did, what I had to do

And saw it through with out exemption

I planned each chartered course

Each careful step along the highway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

For what is a prat, what has he got

When he wears hats and he cannot

Say the things he truly feels

But only the words, of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way

Daily sugar intake: 25 grams

"A WHO guideline recommends adults and children reduce their daily intake of free sugars to less than 10% of their total energy intake. A further reduction to below 5% or roughly 25 grams (6 teaspoons) per day would provide additional health benefits." https://www.who.int/news/item/04-03-2015-who-calls-on-countries-to-reduce-sugars-intake-among-adults-and-children
