Feel so fake writing my CV. Keep tempting myself to be completely open/honest and throw in a bunch of swear words about the pricks at previous jobs or how shit the work was etc.

I had a lecture at uni a few weeks ago where the guest lecturer told us that in this day and age, we shouldn't need a resume to get a job. Appartantly it should all be done by word of mouth and "head hunting". But I had a job interview at ExxonMobil not long ago where I had to bring a resume.. I guess I failed that guest lecturer.

Well people use shit like "LinkedIn" these days, which is basically an online CV...only with even more bullshit and a photo...but ads on Seek still want a CV and cover letter emailed to them, so nuts to your guest lecturer. He doesn't account for people quitting their job or starting out fresh...hard to get headhunted when you're not working in the environment. Word of mouth can be pretty powerful though, if you're networked well enough.

Headhunting is particularly useful in the world of large corporations, where promotions (role promotions) are practically non-existent and it's in the company's best interests for an employee to stay just where they are / give the occasional salary revision. It is quite common in industries where there is a lot of outsourcing between companies (e.g. IT), creating opportunities to meet. Very appealing to the employee with not much in the way of a bottom-to-top career path ahead of them within the same company.

Ergo, vis-a-vis, concordantly...

I see where thi is going.

entry level jobs you need a resume end of story.

they want to see you ahd a part time job your turned up to, or a degree you did.

past that.....

well you still need a resume.

but it is becoming a case of don't call us we will call you.

I check my linked in profile maybe every 4 weeks or so, and it is full or "consulting" or HR companies.

they get a job description then head out and look for some-one.

then due to the fact I was lazy and left no number they call the company main switch and start harassing them to find me.

but every one of them asks me to send a current resume in.

I can't stand the website. I've been advised to create a profile, which I'll probably do one day...because it seems to be the way the world is heading...but people make themselves sound like superheroes working for bluechip companies, when they're really just a glorified PA...

I've got a linked in profile, pretty much look like a fool if you don't in the i.t world, my old employer actually made the whole team make a profile and got a professional shoot done for faces on the company website :\ new employer said they checked it out, amongst other things like facebook etc.. gotta be careful what you put on the web.

It's a good way to show experience that you cant fit on CV though, also the photo part is okay I guess so they know you aren't a pleb.

Link?

That's what they look like, I had them made cause I had heaps of CF and carbon wrap looked shit house on my naca vent so had them made up as no-one is selling them for 7s

After I sold my evo few evoOz guys wanted them so had a few made up for them through my supplier. Currently only person selling them in Aus

Constant reminder of the regret my mates and I felt when we didn't try grape flavour when we saw it in a vending machine in Osaka... Thought we'd see it again later... little did we know, twas not to be :(

eww... i'll just have a crab juice

changed my mind... gonna get a Vii

eotd an 8 wont give me anything that i really need, but will be nearly 10k more.

it's just not worth it for 5kw and a 6 spd gearbox

i'm not planning to massively track it, maybe a couple days a year tops.... it's just my idea of a baby freindly daily so the 5 spd should do me

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
