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.

i now have a big grin ear to ear :ph34r:

thanks for laying it out like that , really appreciate it

Attention Matty Tonkin

please keep your towing services available for me, (Craig)

on the afternoon and evening of 27/03/10

i intent to go around the corners of mallala in a sideways fashion, for my first time.

athank you.

-Craig A Smith

Attention Craig A Smith (lols)

you are booked :ermm: fees to be discussed later on :D

-Matty "towbitch" Tonkin :rant:

had the GTR on the dyno today:

BBQ anyone?

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.

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
