I am looking for a switched on well spoken school leaver for a job I've got so I want to know the best place to advertise.

I'm a bit out of the loop.

SMH, seek, other?

What do you think I should pay them for a full time city office job?

Well, i found my job at seek.com. It is a good place to advertise but is pretty expensive from what i hear. If it helps you, i got my first office job straight out of school as a junior and was payed 25 000 plus super a year. 6 months later, i'm now a paralegal at that firm and i'm making 30 000 a year plus super. Hope this helps you

I'm not a school leaver anymore, but I am thinking about making a career change....

PM me what you got Adam~

Also, we have an entire recruitment database here, I could possibly refer a few people (potentials) to you. But shotgun if it's full sick position :)

Stan.. I think you'll be out of his desired pay range..

Adam - what position is it for.. I would say seek.com.au is a good place to start advertising.. you could also look at getting a uni graduate depending on the role..

if it's in IT.. i would suggest this.. average salary for uni graduate is approx $35k.. school leaver.. well.. $25k - $30 would probably be a fair bit..

it's hard to syphon out the good guys from the crap house though as they really won't have much experience under their belt..

lol stan!

Maybe talk directly to a few school career councellor's (spelling? :) ) as they typically have direct contact with finishing hsc students. That way, through one free 'advertisment', that person can contact anywhere up to 200 potential employees and you dont even have to lift a finger!!

Oh as for the salary;

Office jobs for entry-level start at $17-$18 per hour... which equates to the following:

Full Time Salary P.A. - $35.3k to $37.4k

+ 9% Super - $38.4k to $40.8k

Other FBT benefits are all up to you; usually doesn't happen for such income levels; but just a reference.

Uni websites are shit; our company has found that 75% of the applicants from Uni sites are either:

1) Expecting $50k+ just because they've got a degree

or

2) Just got off the plane and are no more than tourists!

Hmmmm, maybe i should be asking for more money. It does come down to who the person is. I had no experiene at all when i started and i'm apparently working right now lol. Looks like i'm typing a letter to a client or something but i'm on SAU

I think Stan's "salary ranges" are a bit overzealous.. reality is - most people leaving school will get $12 -$14/hr.. maybe more.. but I doubt much more..

Most uni graduates who I finished with were looking for jobs with $40k max.. most didn't get that.. only people who got graduate positions came close to $50k and most of those are working for large law firms and the such working a hell of a lot of hours..

Not sure about your research stan but reality says people will go for anything if that's what they can get..

Uni websites are shit; our company has found that 75% of the applicants from Uni sites are either:

1) Expecting $50k+ just because they've got a degree

or

2) Just got off the plane and are no more than tourists!

Mate,

Sorry mate gotta disagree with you there. Most of uni students will work for far less that amount, obviously depends on the degree. Alot of uni students would work to gain the valuable experience and later piss off when they've got the experience to earn bigger bucks..

must admitt first year out of uni was a bitch trying to look for a job and i took pretty much anything related to i.t which was brought my way.

Just a note, if you expect to hire someone from uni or tafe, don't expect to have them stick around for more than 3-6 months.. just from previous experiences

good point disturbed.. and make sure you filter block seek.com.au for anyone you employ lol.. that way it should make it a bit harder for them to find a new job..

a good way to keep people interested is higher them for a bit less.. than after 2 or 3 months.. give them a pay rise.. than after 6 months the same again - makes them feel like they really are doing a good job..

eh!.. i'm just giving ideas here! :)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
