OK, here it goes, the call for help: I need a job.

First, the background. Ive been living long term in Japan (7 years) and now that Ive come back Im finding it impossible to get a job. I have a polished resume, a variety of experience and in almost 2 months havent got so much as 1 interview. My fiance is packing up and coming down to Aus in a month or so and I really have to be earning before then. Time is running out and need to get something fast.

So my big question is, do you know of any jobs that are available where you work? Maybe you know of positions opening up, or someone leaving, or just that your company needs someone. Below are my skills and experience.

Degree in management (Marketing)

6 years magazine writing/photography, mostly cars and motorbike mags

teaching

good skills in writing, researching, organization, speaking, business understanding.

Im ideally hoping for something low level in business/marketing/office support or similar, but at this point im open to any ideas whiich involve a full time salary.

I live in the eastern suburbs / bayside area, and hope to work there or CBD

If you know of anything, please let me know or let your boss know about me. I can be contacted at [email protected]

Thanks in Advance,

Jeremy

Oh, also, if you have any ideas out of the ordinary for finding jobs, that would help too. Cheers

the guy has a degree in marketing and 6 years professional writing experience and you wont hire him cause you dont like his email address....

...Its amazing how you can bullshit through your ass on a piece of paper and get a job because of it...reminds me of "Catch me if you Can", where he makes up a pile of fake Harvard degrees and the guy gets a job running the hospital...

I'd hire the guy just for having a cool email address.....if I liked him that is ....wouldnt' hire him if he was black though.....lol

We have a full time admin type role going at the moment. In the finance area, responsible for arranging commissions payments to mortgage brokers, dealing with commission enquiries and problems, liaising with lenders and so on. We're based in Collins Street, 2 mins from Southern Cross station.

Looking at about $35k-40k+ super. Young company soon to be the biggest mortgage broker aggregator in the country. It's also a place that once you're in you get first dibs at any other roles which might arise.

I agree with the email address thing, too. Personally it doesn't bother me, but I know a lot of companies will do a initial elimination of applicants based on things like spelling, email addresses and the like.

Thanks for the feedback. Naturally, I have more than one email. And the S13 is long gone too ; (

I don't mean to be rude, but I wouldn't be hiring someone with more than one email address.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in

      R33 general questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
