hahaha good one Growler.
Was a really weird interview, I didn't like it. Had to fill out a form and then have a group interview. I still don't know what position they're trying to fill or what the company even does. Made me feel like I was back in high school.
get all your details then into your bank accountQuote:

why dont you guys go for FIFO work get your generics and apply. There is alot of fifo work in qld, nissan newby flys to mackay, I fly to moranbah, heaps going in the surat basin (dalby area) in the gas fields, coal in the bown basin (middlemount, blackwater,dysart, moranbah area) I work in a basalt quarry crushing rock for coal mine haul roads they are always looking for people.
hope it goes well for you mate,things a getting hard out there and xmas just around the corner
Hey if you hear of any FIFO work going with no qualifications needed let me know lolQuote:

He told his old man and 2 weeks later he was up there too. He loves it. Good for the single man, but not for me.

Alls good though mate, you can enjoy your journeys again.
Start back in the workforce on Monday, yep scored a job at a steel reinforcing Co. went for an induction yesturday and on the job Monday.
Wages not the best but will pay the bills and they are working 24/7 for the next 6-8 months at least, so plenty of oppertunity for O/T to make up the lost $$$$.
Their big contracts on the go are the new hospital, the southern expressway extension, Adelaide oval.
LMAO the miss's told me to keep the door open for other oppertunities as the production manager and supervisor are 2 of the most arragant sons of b****** i have ever come across, and lol she seems to think i will clash with them. Whats she trying to tell me.
Oh well head down, bum up and see what comes of it. Maybe i can teach them you dont need to be an a*&^%$# to get results hahaha
glad to hear you scored pete hope it works out well for you
Thats bloody good to hear mate... take it while you can and always keep your ears out for new opportunities..
As for clashing... sad fact of life isn't it, but you knew that already!!!
Good luck mate..
Cheers Roofy, job itself is fine mate, its just the arrogance of these 2 fellas. Small d!(% syndrome lol
Too right BA, cheers mate
Well done mate
DIAL-A-TAP
Andy / Mods / Members
Just a thought guys, with the economy the way it is at present.
There are always members looking for employment and likewise businesses looking for employees.
What are your thoughts on setting up a section or even a sticky called EMPLOYMENT,
It could be broken down into sub sections, SA, Vic, Qld, NSW, WA, NT, ACT, Tas
Where guys / gals can post.
A) if they are searching for work and in what field and location,
B) For employers to advertise they are looking for employees,
C) Or just for members to post info / contacts of any work they know is available through someone they know.
We have such a diverse range of members out there, covering such a broad range of fields / businesses in all states.
Surely through word of mouth/advertising on the forum, we might be able to help out some of those members doing it tough out there.
Any other thoughts welcomed.
Cheers Pete
It seems a good idea
but would it some how need to be screened,we know most of the members would take this on board
how do you keep the scamers out
Thought of that to Roofy, and maybe it could be a members only access, something like accessing manuals,Quote:

Thanks for the call earlier G, and sounds good but will give the current position a go first, don't want to be too ambitious before Xmas,
Thanks mate appreciate the thought.
Have definitely done level 1 OHS&W rep,
but think only done cert 1V OHW&S "module" in business management, might not be what they are after. Will check it out and get back to you. $$$ sound veeery nice but.
The job I scored are actually supplying all your structural steel reinforcing, rio, mesh and the likes for that gig.

Great to hear you scored mate.
Also great to see the forum take an interest in your problem
concrats to all.,
Thanks Pearcey, and yes great to have the members coming forth with offers. Thanks again guys!!!
Put the idea of an employment section to Andy and he thought it was a great idea. Just have to wait for him to get his feet firmly back on the hard stuff and he'll get something up and running.

Bloody great news on the job Pete, take the money and keep looking mate, as something better will turn up for you for sure
Glad to hear you found something. Got made redundant myself recently I was fortunate enough so have a fair amount of leave up my sleeve so took it easier for a few weeks as I also had my own business to do. Back to the full time grind for me though for the last month. Swore to myself I would never stop looking for a new job every again. Going to keep my finger on the pulse. Far too unstable out there at the momentQuote:

As i`m retired now, that four letter word is missing out of my vocabulary, but yes Pete I would like to see an employment
section up and running. Sorry AB I know it`s more w.w.w.w. for you but I think it could be beneficial to quite a few members.
By the way Pete did the missus get you to PAINT the house while you were idle last week.
Yep too right Scotty, Where my miss's works has just shut down a department, she might be lucky enough to get transfered,Quote:

Admittidlly i did the same thing 4 years ago, but learnt a lesson and I did by the patrol with some of the $$$.
Anyway my point is, get your payout and get straight back on the horse, your payout then becomes profit, spending $$$, back up and you dont hit hard times.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha you are soooooooooo funny mate ROFPML, How can i paint the house mate im not a painter anymore hahahahahaha, thats my excuse and im sticking to it.Quote:
