So one of my best mates recently had a baby boy. I offered to baby sit over the weekend so my mate and his missus could have some time off and relax and get some sleep.

The following are some pics of the training I started on the boy.

laik every bloody supermarket....

srsly dude, dont bother with that coles and woolworths bullshit, too many ass phucks, only top be rejected.

go into an independent (foodland) and ask for a form, better yet

ask to see the store manager, (these guys love confidence), and ask him

to his face.

9X out of 10 your app. form will be whacked in a folder, and never thought of.

most hiring is done by word of mouth.

try norwood, nightfill.

now, i need app. form for sau sa, need cams licence

linky please.

Mitch,

Work out where you want to work, tailor your resume for the place, do some research on the business, find out who does the hiring and ask to meet them for a coffee. Present yourself neatly, be on time, be concise with your presentation and leave the person your resume.

All this is being proactive rather than reactive. Think about it: if you are a business owner and have a role that needs to be filled what are you going to do? Most will already have someone in mind and ask them first. They will then ask other staff members and maybe others within their industry (clients, partners etc). Finally if they still haven't found someone they might get around to advertising the position. Then they have to pay for the advertising, conduct interviews or pay an agency to do so. Either way it costs them time and money.

Waiting for jobs to be advertised means you are only seeing the jobs which have already gone past several stages. And then you are competing against everyone else. You can jump ahead of all these other people by getting in at stage 1. It may not work immediately but a position may come up at a later date and the person doing the hiring will recall that you showed initiative, were proactive by seeking him/her out and gave them your details. The person can then contact you and shortcut the procedure to find a new employee thus saving them time and money.

I would also advise that you keep a record of who you spoke with, when you spoke with them, what they ordered and what was said in the conversation. Touch base with them about once a month with a phone call and try catch up with them about once every 3 months (that's where knowing what they ordered can be handy. Imagine their surprise if you go up order your drink and turn to them and say 'hazelnut mocha with 1 sugar right?). You would be surprised at how this can generate results and in the end you are only approaching businesses that you want to work for.

Good luck.

-Matty "towbitch" Tonkin :rant:

had the GTR on the dyno today:

BBQ anyone?

Dyno Run

Nige, better still be doin that on the cruise. i will get 2 bits of reo rod and a bag of marshmallows and hang the f**kers out the boot LOL

Why not try something in the Automotive Industry?

When I was unemployed not that long ago, i went through a small period where i wanted nothing more than to wake up and sit in front of the tv and play Gran Turismo 4. I then got inspired by playing it, and with a small sales background, why not become a Car Salesman. Applied for a few places, got an interview with BS Stillwell Ford on Main North Road and Aftermarket Sales at Peugeot. Nothing eventuated, but then got a call from my uncle, wondering if i could lend a hand with a boat down the Marina. After a week of that, he was prepared to offer me an apprenticeship as a Diesel Mechanic.

Even if you have checkout experience..that's sales.

Throw caution to the wind. Do whatever you think you will like. The worst they can say is no.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
