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

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

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
