[mrhele]

i would be applying for this but i scored myself a contract bak with Telstra

sounds pretty good these jobs

[ecl]

cheers

i'll be applying for the first position

=)

[Mean_R34]

Good luck with that ecl..

No one has an R34 there. IT in Syd is WRX mad, which is very one sided.

Nice ride BTW.

[ecl]

cheers

I study at UTS so it'll be "very" close to uni lol

[Mean_R34]

Out of interest, did anyone in SAU apply, get an interview or get one of these jobs?

[Sl!m]

heh, im only 1st level support.. and that would be a huge pay cut for that role

[d0p3y]

Wowee the amount of money in IT jobs has really gone to shit :|

[sewid]

Government IT jobs pay shit all.

[blk180]

yer me and dopey get payed more in our gov job to do nothing.

[illusiVe]

where is an IT job which pays heaps? (eg government)

atm im level 1 support, easily qualified for level 2.

got MCP, A+ hardware + software, Tafe cert 4 in IT.

-plus 4 years of LAN/WAN.

im on 40k atm .. pleeease help, need money

[Suspense]

seek.com.au?

[Alien]

IT jobs pay very well =)

[Primordial]

The skills listed in these positions are relatively remedial stuff, especially for a graduate..

You wont get too much more than 50k for support stuff (L1 or L2 - Desktop). You want to start looking at Networks (engineering), Linux/Unix, SAP, programming, management (good luck till you're older than 30) etc to find the larger money.

So many kids coming out of school thinking they know how the IT industry works cos they've played with a PC all they're lives and expect to earn $100k by the time they are 25 cos they are in the "IT Industry"

[sl33ek]

Desktop Operating Environment, wtf? Its called Standard Operating Environment, their IT dept must suck

Primordial, you are so right! This is an entry level job for a graduate & I can't believe so of the noobs comments. The pay isn't great, but a lot of noobs DO think that just because they know something about microsoft, and used a pC since they were an infant, that qualifies them for the big salry jobs. No it doesn't. I have looked around @ jobs and don't do too badly outta the IT industry. Some noobs just have a big ego, but would probably get laughed out of an interview, even on a lower paid position.

I think they are not looking into the bigger picture, how their resume will read in 2 yrs and how quickly u can advance if you really know ur sh!t.

Interesting... Any idea how much that Unix job is going for?

[jantolis]

I just had a job interview with the ABC on Tuesday. It was for a different position though. It was for a graduate electrical engineer for their graduate technologist position. I would love the job. It seems heaps interesting.

[s1kr33]

I'm a Help Desk/ Service Desk recruiter in the CBD and i've worked with the ABC....not to rain on the parade but they aren't very good to work for. The wages are low and the technologies are old.

If anyone has great skills and comms and is looking for a new role in the new year please send a copy of your updated CV to [email protected] as i come across roles all the time.

Please add your salary expectations and any additional info that you feel may be relevant.
