Get an apprenticeship in something? Electrical or Plumbing

[getz stuffed]

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.

[wrxkilla]

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.... ?

[Redsuns88]

cause im fully sik uleh!

[Col-GTSX]

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)

+1 mate get a trade....Plumbing or electrical and then when your finished you will be able to get someone else to work on your car for you .....

If I could turn back the clock I would have and done a trade.....

[Revhead]

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.

I am looking for some youth workers, working around moorooka, algester, browns plains area.

[TIR60]

youth workers?

[axe s]

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 ),

[PWND]

youth workers - work with 12-18 year olds, court appointed at residential programmes.

you teach them basic day to day living skills etc

[Col-GTSX]

gesus you could teach them how to detail your car...

then make them do it over and over again at a carwash... $$$

jez needs a job too.. left skool 2 years ago.. im 20.. was doing a traineeship @ pwr, but left as it was not for me ect.. will try anything to extent lol just need somthing! ta sorry to hi-jack ur thread brother

[sneakey pete]

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.
