ok anything else seriously i really want this job

Brush up on what the job description entails. Know the job like you've worked there for years ... they'll pick up on the confidence. Got the job description? Know anyone else in the job who you can talk to?

Be able to give examples of previous experiences (working, studies or not) to demonstrate skills in key areas. Demonstrate a willingness to learn in the areas you know are your weakest. Be able to identify (in relation to the job) your SWOTs (strength, weaknesses, opportunities, threats).

These are the things I look for. I could go on, but keep it simple: know the job, prepare for questions, relax.

:yes:

dont be afraid to stop and think about your answers, the flavour of the moment with interview techniques seems to be, give me an example of what you did in ... situation, or tell me about a time that you had to....

also most importantly use the interviewers name when you address them and say goodbye :yes:

GOOD LUCK!!

"The illegal hooning and street racing that occurs is not motorsport....if you can provide a safe and organised venue where these people can go, you won't eliminate the problem but you have a safe and legal place for it, " says Australian National Drag Racing Association project director, Gary Miocevich. <<<Click image or txt

Does anyone know what the best method for sending files online around the 20MB mark is? Some people want me to email them photos of thier car from the track day, but even zipped they are too big for email...

As Ruby mentioned already, do not swear at all. As soon as someone swears to me I'll make a mental note to remove them from the short list, unless everyone else were complete and totals retards.

Just try and be confident even if you might not be feeling it and it's always a good idea to sell yourself in regards to your past experience, just don't over do it because I can always tell who's talking shit to me when it's so obvious they haven't got a clue what I'm talking about or the question I asked.

also does anyone know how to get hold of a cams license now that i have had a single day event and if i get my cams license now they will take the $25 off......how long do i have as well......

but how do we go about in getting the license as it was a L2S wasnt it?

Krishy, yes its was an L2S licence you need to apply for. You can find the information here: http://www.cams.com.au/Development/Get%20I...ce%20Types.aspx

I'm currently chatting with a bloke named Howard from CAMS about my Officials Licence, and I'm interested in obtaining my L2S licence also. I'll let you know what he forwards onto me.

:D

qft!

few interview panels i've been part of have had several of the over-confident shit talking type. These people never get looked at.

If we have a full group of complete idiots make it to an interview process and none of them tell us what we want to hear, we'll re-advertise!

Depending on what position we're trying to fill, we'll do the same and even for shop floor inspectors who I can generally determine immediately whether they're going to be an assett or liability to us. My tolerance level for dipshits/halfwits/lazyc__nts is pretty much non existant these days!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
