So one of my best mates recently had a baby boy. I offered to baby sit over the weekend so my mate and his missus could have some time off and relax and get some sleep.

The following are some pics of the training I started on the boy.

laik every bloody supermarket....

srsly dude, dont bother with that coles and woolworths bullshit, too many ass phucks, only top be rejected.

go into an independent (foodland) and ask for a form, better yet

ask to see the store manager, (these guys love confidence), and ask him

to his face.

9X out of 10 your app. form will be whacked in a folder, and never thought of.

most hiring is done by word of mouth.

try norwood, nightfill.

now, i need app. form for sau sa, need cams licence

linky please.

Mitch,

Work out where you want to work, tailor your resume for the place, do some research on the business, find out who does the hiring and ask to meet them for a coffee. Present yourself neatly, be on time, be concise with your presentation and leave the person your resume.

All this is being proactive rather than reactive. Think about it: if you are a business owner and have a role that needs to be filled what are you going to do? Most will already have someone in mind and ask them first. They will then ask other staff members and maybe others within their industry (clients, partners etc). Finally if they still haven't found someone they might get around to advertising the position. Then they have to pay for the advertising, conduct interviews or pay an agency to do so. Either way it costs them time and money.

Waiting for jobs to be advertised means you are only seeing the jobs which have already gone past several stages. And then you are competing against everyone else. You can jump ahead of all these other people by getting in at stage 1. It may not work immediately but a position may come up at a later date and the person doing the hiring will recall that you showed initiative, were proactive by seeking him/her out and gave them your details. The person can then contact you and shortcut the procedure to find a new employee thus saving them time and money.

I would also advise that you keep a record of who you spoke with, when you spoke with them, what they ordered and what was said in the conversation. Touch base with them about once a month with a phone call and try catch up with them about once every 3 months (that's where knowing what they ordered can be handy. Imagine their surprise if you go up order your drink and turn to them and say 'hazelnut mocha with 1 sugar right?). You would be surprised at how this can generate results and in the end you are only approaching businesses that you want to work for.

Good luck.

had the GTR on the dyno today:

Dyno Run

Nige, better still be doin that on the cruise. i will get 2 bits of reo rod and a bag of marshmallows and hang the f**kers out the boot LOL

Why not try something in the Automotive Industry?

When I was unemployed not that long ago, i went through a small period where i wanted nothing more than to wake up and sit in front of the tv and play Gran Turismo 4. I then got inspired by playing it, and with a small sales background, why not become a Car Salesman. Applied for a few places, got an interview with BS Stillwell Ford on Main North Road and Aftermarket Sales at Peugeot. Nothing eventuated, but then got a call from my uncle, wondering if i could lend a hand with a boat down the Marina. After a week of that, he was prepared to offer me an apprenticeship as a Diesel Mechanic.

Even if you have checkout experience..that's sales.

Throw caution to the wind. Do whatever you think you will like. The worst they can say is no.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
