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.

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
