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:

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
