Hey all,

This has nothing to do with cars but anyone know of any other good job websites other than Seek.com.au, MyCareer.com.au and careerone.com.au? Maybe its because of xmas, but there are no graduate positions being advertised on any of those websites that fit the job descriptions that im looking for (tax/business service accountant).

Thanks all :(

You have pretty much covered the main ones.

Alot of companies advertise internally before they advertise extenally. May pay to just send out ur resume and cold canvase and see if you get any bites (sounds a bit like fishing :( ).

Give that a try and l wish you good luck for any job prospects.

some advice, dont bother with job sites

its too relaxed and easy to just keep plodding along

you need to get out and sell yourself

speak to friends, post up on here what work you are after

write letters to employers that you would like to work for

even go and visit them, ask to speak to the employment manager

and just have a general chat (i got my job at bigpond doing this).

if i was looking for sysadmin work i would speak to companies i would be keen to work for, people like bigpond, optus, uecomm, motec, etc etc any companies that u know of who would be cool, i reckon that motec sysadmin job would have been ace, mainly cos im interested in engine management crap and sysadmin is good so good to combine both

anyhoo a bit of advice

Getting a job this time of year is always hard... everybody's finished school at the same time and countless people are applying for the very few jobs there are on offer. Best thing to do is photocopy a resume with a cover sheet about yourself and PERSONALLY deliver it to all the places you would like to work.

I got the sweetest job ever at Ericsson doing that, and all because they said other people were mailing jobs in, but i took the time to try to speak to them in person and convey my intrest.

good luck

If you're looking for graduate positions, they're often advertised on the companys websites.

Here's a bunch more (I haven't checked if they've been listed yet, some may be doubles)

https://jobsearch.gov.au

http://www.careerone.com.au/

http://www.chandlermacleod.com/jobs/

http://www.vic.bigredsky.com/

http://www.motorstaff.com.au/

http://www.job-directory.com.au/

http://www.psgazette.gov.au/

http://www.alia.org.au/employment/vacancies/

Then there are company specific ones... these can be found on pretty much any website, just look for the "jobs" or "careers" option in their menus.

couple of examples:

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
