Well it looks like I have become a victim of the mining slow down atleast temporarily at the moment. What I would like to know does anyone require and skilled labour etc from the 25th of this month??
Im a qualified diesel fitter with riggers, doggers and overhead crane ticket. I do also have other tickets. I also have my HR truck license and a full open manual car license.
I can get to anywhere around brisbane north or southside.
PM me with any interest.
Never a good thing mate. Hopefully something comes up for you.
Jump on career one, simply hired and check out what's going on. I'm always getting job alerts for up that way, but always to far away...

That sucks to hear man! Hope something comes your way quick smart, you're too hard a worker to be in the unemployment line. Surely you will land something local with your skillset.
F^%k that pisses me off when good skilled workers like you are looking for work..???
I got warned 3 years ago by a very smart man I know who said mining in this country will slow down as the Chinese will be looking to Mongolia for there Iron Ore soon??? never mind the global crisis anyway.
Just what I was told??
Bummer........coupla thousand k's south of brisvegas and I can probably help ya
Good luck with it mate

Yeah I will be. Still waiting to hear back from my employer as he may be able to place me somewhere else but this isnt gonna happen by the 25th. I have applied for jobs recently but its a little dim at the moment.Quote:

What is more annoying is they only told me today so basically only 10 days notice.Quote:

Gotta love this forum I even get support from someone who thinks im gonna steal his wife :p
Thanks Mate
Mate if it was anyone else.....!!!
As you may have read my wifes company has been pulled apart and manufacturing has gone to asia, she has been lucky but has had to start her own business but that is not ideal as I already have a business....
The bloody labour government has put up the land fill tax so bloody much I struggle to get people to understand, 4 years ago the tip cost me $24 and only $2 with a rates coupon now its $88 and $26 with a coupon and that's a bloody tip miles out forget a transfer station that would charge me about $120 to empty my trailer???
I could ramble on for ages.... hey I think I will listen to some Led Zeppelin..... ramble on ....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bummer mate, hopefully you will pick up something soon.
