Hey all,

This has nothing to do with cars but anyone know of any other good job websites other than Seek.com.au, MyCareer.com.au and careerone.com.au? Maybe its because of xmas, but there are no graduate positions being advertised on any of those websites that fit the job descriptions that im looking for (tax/business service accountant).

Thanks all :(

You have pretty much covered the main ones.

Alot of companies advertise internally before they advertise extenally. May pay to just send out ur resume and cold canvase and see if you get any bites (sounds a bit like fishing :( ).

Give that a try and l wish you good luck for any job prospects.

Andrew

some advice, dont bother with job sites

its too relaxed and easy to just keep plodding along

you need to get out and sell yourself

speak to friends, post up on here what work you are after

write letters to employers that you would like to work for

even go and visit them, ask to speak to the employment manager

and just have a general chat (i got my job at bigpond doing this).

if i was looking for sysadmin work i would speak to companies i would be keen to work for, people like bigpond, optus, uecomm, motec, etc etc any companies that u know of who would be cool, i reckon that motec sysadmin job would have been ace, mainly cos im interested in engine management crap and sysadmin is good so good to combine both

anyhoo a bit of advice

Getting a job this time of year is always hard... everybody's finished school at the same time and countless people are applying for the very few jobs there are on offer. Best thing to do is photocopy a resume with a cover sheet about yourself and PERSONALLY deliver it to all the places you would like to work.

I got the sweetest job ever at Ericsson doing that, and all because they said other people were mailing jobs in, but i took the time to try to speak to them in person and convey my intrest.

good luck

If you're looking for graduate positions, they're often advertised on the companys websites.

Here's a bunch more (I haven't checked if they've been listed yet, some may be doubles)

https://jobsearch.gov.au

http://www.careerone.com.au/

http://www.chandlermacleod.com/jobs/

http://www.vic.bigredsky.com/

http://www.motorstaff.com.au/

http://www.job-directory.com.au/

http://www.psgazette.gov.au/

http://www.alia.org.au/employment/vacancies/

Then there are company specific ones... these can be found on pretty much any website, just look for the "jobs" or "careers" option in their menus.

couple of examples:

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
