Go the apprenticeship, fire out a heap of resumes and letters, track when you sent them and ring the businesses individually a week later. It is not the best time though due to a number of reasons. All depends how serious you are in chasing things up.

Best of luck though.

massively not the best time to change jobs, but hey, there is still work out there...

Apprentiship or similar vocational qual is the way to go. You have to compromise too. Alot of people in the same boat as you, why should the employer choose you over the others.... ?

Like everyone has said, not a great time to change...

However if your not passionate about what you do now then there is no point in continuing with it...

Just timing is your only issue, as you said loans etc and we all need money to live...

Learning a trade is always a great way to build a good future, however the money you get paid now is goign to be allot less than your used to...

So you may want to look into it a bit and see if its affordable to make the change for a better future today...

Or wait until your a mature aged tradie (think its 25) and then you get paid more, however you will be less attractve to the trades men hiring you... (Catch 22)

If you don't have any luck with any of the above and don't want to do a trade (I agree is a great idea though!), the place I work at is near South Brisbane and might have something going working the print/mail machines out the back. If you're interested I can see if they're hiring? The guys out there seem to be mostly casual but if you need full-time work I can ask if that's available.

You should go work for an industry (i know there isn't much around the brissy area... but if your willing to move it'd probably be worth it...) work as a process worker for a couple of years and then get an adult apprenticeship through that company, if you are previously employed by a company they can't drop your pay if you take up an apprenticeship ... that's what i did and as a first year refrigeration apprentice i was earning more than you are now (because i was still getting payed the same as a process worker ;) ),

Australia post always has casuals. I know, i'm one of them. pays good, hours are shit, works simple and hard.. Getting in after Christmas is hard though (they have an intake in late October, and keep the best for the rest of the year).

Still, hit up employment agency's like ready workforce etc if your just looking for a job to keep yourself fed. Go in, give them your resume, tell them what type of work your willing to do (and trust me, if your desperate, do not limit yourself. there's a lot of night shift out there that's well paid), and you might get some sporadic work until you can find a proper career.

apart from your spelling, the main problem is this...

have no exact job that i want

you can't expect to get a new job without knowing what you want to do.

you said you looked at a couple of job sites, and if you don't know what you want to do, I guess you went to seek.com.au and looked at every field of occupation?

the other problem is, you are money driven, because you have bills to pay.

this is normal, but you need an "x" amount of money so you don't really care about what job you do, just on what they will pay.

no-one will hire you knowing this.

they will see that you are not applying for the job because you want to work for that company/field..

within 5 minutes in an interview, they will see you don't really care and are just looking for money.

either get rid of some of your debts (car) or find a passion for something, and get a job in that.

or

stay where they are paying you enough money to pay your bills and stop complaining about it when 1000's of people are losing their much loved jobs.

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      By OST Micah · Posted

      While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point

      I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
