Go the apprenticeship, fire out a heap of resumes and letters, track when you sent them and ring the businesses individually a week later. It is not the best time though due to a number of reasons. All depends how serious you are in chasing things up.

Best of luck though.

massively not the best time to change jobs, but hey, there is still work out there...

Apprentiship or similar vocational qual is the way to go. You have to compromise too. Alot of people in the same boat as you, why should the employer choose you over the others.... ?

Like everyone has said, not a great time to change...

However if your not passionate about what you do now then there is no point in continuing with it...

Just timing is your only issue, as you said loans etc and we all need money to live...

Learning a trade is always a great way to build a good future, however the money you get paid now is goign to be allot less than your used to...

So you may want to look into it a bit and see if its affordable to make the change for a better future today...

Or wait until your a mature aged tradie (think its 25) and then you get paid more, however you will be less attractve to the trades men hiring you... (Catch 22)

If you don't have any luck with any of the above and don't want to do a trade (I agree is a great idea though!), the place I work at is near South Brisbane and might have something going working the print/mail machines out the back. If you're interested I can see if they're hiring? The guys out there seem to be mostly casual but if you need full-time work I can ask if that's available.

You should go work for an industry (i know there isn't much around the brissy area... but if your willing to move it'd probably be worth it...) work as a process worker for a couple of years and then get an adult apprenticeship through that company, if you are previously employed by a company they can't drop your pay if you take up an apprenticeship ... that's what i did and as a first year refrigeration apprentice i was earning more than you are now (because i was still getting payed the same as a process worker ;) ),

Australia post always has casuals. I know, i'm one of them. pays good, hours are shit, works simple and hard.. Getting in after Christmas is hard though (they have an intake in late October, and keep the best for the rest of the year).

Still, hit up employment agency's like ready workforce etc if your just looking for a job to keep yourself fed. Go in, give them your resume, tell them what type of work your willing to do (and trust me, if your desperate, do not limit yourself. there's a lot of night shift out there that's well paid), and you might get some sporadic work until you can find a proper career.

apart from your spelling, the main problem is this...

have no exact job that i want

you can't expect to get a new job without knowing what you want to do.

you said you looked at a couple of job sites, and if you don't know what you want to do, I guess you went to seek.com.au and looked at every field of occupation?

the other problem is, you are money driven, because you have bills to pay.

this is normal, but you need an "x" amount of money so you don't really care about what job you do, just on what they will pay.

no-one will hire you knowing this.

they will see that you are not applying for the job because you want to work for that company/field..

within 5 minutes in an interview, they will see you don't really care and are just looking for money.

either get rid of some of your debts (car) or find a passion for something, and get a job in that.

or

stay where they are paying you enough money to pay your bills and stop complaining about it when 1000's of people are losing their much loved jobs.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
