hi guys and girls

anyone know any good job agencies/ recruitment places around liverpool area?

The shift im working is going to close down next week, because of stupid supervisor not getting enough production out.

i tried the usual websites seek etc, but i call up and all they say is "position filled".

so anyone recommend any around this area or a bit further?

Larry - you need to specify what type of industry you are in. Recruitment agencies specialize in different fields - if you work in any of the professional industries, you need a specialist firm as they usually get all the best roles (due to their existing database of candidates)

Cris - unfortunately uni students are at the bottom of the food chain at the moment (at least in my industry anyways). With the bad economy, and so many people being laid off, the few companies that are hiring are able to snap up experienced and quality labour for cheap. That's just reality. However, you never know there's always exceptions to every rule.

I've started looking around, despite there being no immediate threat to my employment - just want to see what's out there and ultimately how attractive I am to other employers. Surprisingly I've been offered two roles in less than a week, both matching or bettering my current package - I turned them both down for a few reasons which I won't go into. But yeah, there are jobs out there - just make sure your CV stands out from the crowd.

FYI I use 2 personal agents who work for competing agencies - they know this - which makes them work very hard as they want the fee associated with any placement to be theirs.

recruitment/job agencies are shit but almost your only choice if your short on searching time, there lazy and tend not to listen when you talk to them even though they write it down... I asked a few of them to look for a job for me (pathology industry, the only area not effected at all by the economy) and they seem to want to find jobs in other areas of science or unrelated jobs like a geologist scientist.... nothing to do with my qualifications...

gf was also looking for a job with the threat of redundancy looming and she had an even worse time in the marketing field, atleast she wasn't made redundant so she quickly told the recruitment agencies (that should change there names to "False Hope Agencies") to piss off.

they make up jobs that don't exist, make you go to interviews that just waste your time....

my advice is to use them but do not for the love of god rely on them unless you happen to know them personally.... also satanic has the right idea.... play them off and make them compete to find you jobs.... search yourself online aswell and research the area you are looking to seek employment and ask the potential employers by yourself if thereare any positions going and how to apply for the job.

Its near impossible to get a job atm!

Im uni holidays, been lookinf for 3 weeks now, over 30 different job applications and absolutely nothing back!

+1 uni holls cant get a job. man i hate group interviews. alotta stores have them :P

warehouse, pick packer and process.

Try Manpower and/or ReadyWorkforce.

pretty sure both are based in parramatta. Manpower might be blacktown though.

Umm,if your keen fit and don't mind the cold,try to get into IGA silverwater(cold storage)

ride those cool crowns with the rabbit button.good pay and Unlimited free food + shares same block

as Australian Liquor Marketers :D cheap booze and i mean cheap.

Also,theres an agency on Holbeche rd(Arndell Park) can't remember the name,but they place people

over at Autonexus at Wetherill Park on Victoria street. just picking and packing car parts for like

Lander n shit i believe.

Pm me if you like.

cheers

Aaron

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
