Looking For Work?

[Zadz]

hey all.

anyone looking for work, cos we need staff at my job.

the position would be casual with full time hours basically. pays $18.95 a hour or something, just a few cents of $19.

the yard is in kewdale, here company website should help explain things.

http://www.prixcar.com.au/

we mega understaffed atm, and thought since car lovers here people wouldnt mind working with cars.

we deal with some nice car companies."Merc, BMW, Honda, Lexus, Jag, Lotus, Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge ,Audi and more.'

any intrests let us know. or just send in resume, they are constantly hiring people.

in december (may be prolonged more) we are moving to new yard closer to airport, which will be 5 times the size, 24 hour run time. etc etc. so need people now so know what their doing when flat out busy.

So thats $18.95 p /hr before tax?

Whats average wage there for a 38 hr week, "nett"? Do they pay pentaly rates/ OT? holiday pay?

Do they offer job enrichment? or they just want no brainer monkeys with no chance of advancement?

just wondering since it seems like there is a high turnover, which implies there is either no job enrichment or incentive pay.

cheers mate

the hours are 7am-3:06pm (dont ask about the 6) 5 days week. very rarely work saturdays. working full week gives you like 580-590 in hand ( i personally dont work full week, cos of other job i leave at 2pm not 3pm) and im getting 540 in hand a week. they pay overtime on weekends if work saturday first 3 hours 1.5 and anything after double time. but no overtime during week. that i know of. i geuss the job could lead somewhere, yard Supervisor, operations super, and so on. was offered yard super just recently but cos of other job could not do so, FullTime aval after proven self as such. (FT rates at $16 or so)

there has been high turnover laterly alot of longtime works have left. it can be nasty work, as today for example, if it rains u work in it and in summer its hot. there is 2 sections of work, BUILD and YARD, build involves install stereos and mudflaps all other stuff before dealer delivery. YARD involves collection of cars from stock and preparing for build. whihc can be any where from dewax, microdotting, G101 washes. but mainly pulling out and washing for build. and then presavation and general sorting of yard.

hopefully anwsers something. if not ask more.

That pretty much goes hand-in-hand with all high turnover jobs (ie call center, customer service) decent money for vanilla work. Great for young kids getting first jobs etc.

hows the working environment? is it a fun when u can have a laugh sorta thing or is it supervisors with wips and chains out teln u that the 10 seconds u took to scratch your balls is now comn out of your pocket

[Zadz]

nah the yard super is good, just like another worker really, you have to work though but can have fun, just no standing there on phone or anything. all works pretty laid back though, no WHIPPING unless work flat out and need to catch up. but nothin harsh.
