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!

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
