Wtf Is All The Work At?!

[Slim Mat]

Hi Ladies and Gents

I've been looking for work for a few months now and I'm having a bit of trouble getting into something. There haven't been a lot of jobs advertised in Perth that are really up my alley. If I knew how to manage a store or something I'd be alright, there's heaps of businesses looking for managers, but I wouldn't know what to do in that sort of position.

I'm 21 and being a fully qualified mechanic is probably the best thing that I have going for me. I'm also really good with computers and electronics. However, I would be open to try new avenues of work.

It seems that the application stage here in the city takes ages to get through, because I've applied for some jobs and it's been up to a month later when I here back. I could really use a hand to get into some work, so if you know a place that's looking for workers or someone that can help me out please get in touch with me on the forum. PM is probably the best way to go.

What are some good employment agencies in Perth?

Cheers

Best bet would be www.jobsearch.gov.au or www.seek.com.au or www.careerone.com.au or www.mycareer.com.au

Kinda depends on what you are looking for I suppose, but yeah, the labour market has taken a real shafting in the last 7-8 months and it really is a huge "buyers" market atm

My advice would be this - there is still plenty of work out there, but only if you are willing to drop your standards and do anything for teh ca$h. It can suck - hell, I went from sitting in an office in the cbd for 6 figures, to delivering newspapers in a 380 000km old van in outer buttf**k with 7 days a week of midnight starts, but it has kept the cash rolling in while I look for something decent.

Keep in mind too, that WA is about to start on the largest gas project this country has ever seen, so if you have any usable construction or heavy plant skillz, start getting your CV out to the big oil and gas recruiters NOW.
