Hi Ladies and Gents

I've been looking for work for a few months now and I'm having a bit of trouble getting into something. There haven't been a lot of jobs advertised in Perth that are really up my alley. If I knew how to manage a store or something I'd be alright, there's heaps of businesses looking for managers, but I wouldn't know what to do in that sort of position.

I'm 21 and being a fully qualified mechanic is probably the best thing that I have going for me. I'm also really good with computers and electronics. However, I would be open to try new avenues of work.

It seems that the application stage here in the city takes ages to get through, because I've applied for some jobs and it's been up to a month later when I here back. I could really use a hand to get into some work, so if you know a place that's looking for workers or someone that can help me out please get in touch with me on the forum. PM is probably the best way to go.

What are some good employment agencies in Perth?

Cheers

Kinda depends on what you are looking for I suppose, but yeah, the labour market has taken a real shafting in the last 7-8 months and it really is a huge "buyers" market atm :)

My advice would be this - there is still plenty of work out there, but only if you are willing to drop your standards and do anything for teh ca$h. It can suck - hell, I went from sitting in an office in the cbd for 6 figures, to delivering newspapers in a 380 000km old van in outer buttf**k with 7 days a week of midnight starts, but it has kept the cash rolling in while I look for something decent.

Keep in mind too, that WA is about to start on the largest gas project this country has ever seen, so if you have any usable construction or heavy plant skillz, start getting your CV out to the big oil and gas recruiters NOW.

      3d printing

      By KazTheKoala · Posted

      Neostead, I'm looking to have a custom surround done that also has a slot for a fog light. Would you be willing to create a 3d model I can buy or create and ship me the part or even provide/sell the current model for me to modify? Cheers

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Did some maintenance on the MX5, did the engine oil and filter which was uneventful, then I drained the coolant to put in the new reservoir and a thermostat, reservoir took 5 minutes  The thermostat, well that took.........3 bloody hours, what a job, the issue was the 3 bolts holding it on, one was easy, 2 were hidden and required a few 1/4 drive extensions, 1 more than I had, and a 1/4 swivel, which I also didn't have, and a good amount of playing contortionist  Getting the 2 unseen bolts back on was a time consuming nervous nightmare, as I couldn't see where they went there was alot of stabbing and hoping for the best, trying to line up a 8 mm bolt straight, which you cannot actually see or get a hand in there, with a 1/4 swivel in the mix was a nightmare Anyways, it's done now, all burped out, and run up to temp a few times, happily no leaks thank Jebus After the thermostat fiasco I decided I need a few mental health days away from tools before doing the rest of the servicing on it As for the Dunnydoore, it had the aircon regassed and it has a clean bill of health, thinking about taking it out on Monday for a cruise down the coast to look at some houses if weather permits

      Duncan's Race Car - The Most Overdue Build Thread On Sau

      By Duncan · Posted

      In other important race car news, instead of fixing the race car I changed the crank seals on the chainsaw, because wood burner Some damn tight (and lock tighted) m6 head bolts Who knew plastic crank cases were a thing! Quick tip, don't trust the youtube videos that say you can pull the old seals out with the head on in a husky 440e...not true, their crank seal tucks in behind the cover both sides. I'm not sure I'm a psychopath, but these things are damn loud....hope I can put all the bits back in the right place    Happily, it is now back to turning fallen trees into a combination of firewood logs and wood chips....just need a clear day to get into it properly

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Duncan · Posted

      Don't forget to make sure the tank is full to the brim before you try to replace the fuel pump too, that is an essential step.
