Hey MrR33, I just did a B.Com and am looking for a job at the moment. The best thing to do would be to apply during all the grad rounds/careers fairs etc. I didn't apply during those rounds as I had planned to go into business with a friend and we were working on that etc. But unfortunately, when the time came, it fell through and I had missed the grad rounds. If I didn't think that I had it planned, I'd have definitely gone hard in the grad rounds. Now I'm looking for a job in papers/web etc and they're a bit scarce (depending on what field etc) but I'm sure eventually I'll get something decent.

Hippy, I think your prospects of getting a job are good with an honours degree and at least some experience. I've seen a few jobs advertised but dunno what the overall industry is like as I'm not in that field. But in my opinion, you should be able to get a job here.

I've just got myself an IT job in sydney after completing my science degree at the end of last year. I applied for 3 jobs and got offered a job at two of them.

My brother completed his degree at the same time but did computer science and was top 15% student but can't get a job at all. I think he's now working at McDonalds full time.

its pretty hard to find a job in sydney when u still live in adelaide ... it means having the workplace either interview over the phone or them coming over or u coming over which i think would be alot of trouble for any company to do so i don't think most or even all wouldn't even bother ... theres a few mixed reports about job opportunities ... i have some opportunities over here in adelaide ... they are ok but i dont' think they really suit what i want to do ...

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
