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.

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.

    • So my R32 GTST has been sitting around at my old mum and dad's place for a few years now...and it's time to bring it home. Main issue I have is that she hasn't been started in about 5 years or so, so I'm not too keen on just kicking it over and hoping that RB20 reputation for being un-killlable extends to long periods of neglect. My plan is to get it running there so I can move it around,  then get it towed back to my place where I can start working on it properly. The old folks driveway is a bad place to start a project like that. I'm getting old too and also haven't stuffed around with cars since forever, so kinda learning this stuff again. So far I've siphoned out all the shitty old fuel and topped up the coolant (thought it was fully dry but took 2 litres to fill the radiator). Planning on hitting the rusty rotors with some brake cleaner in case the tow truck driver gets a bit gung ho loading it up. As far as oil, it's got plenty although it's now dark in colour and obviously needs a change sooner rather than later. Was doing some YouTube research and was planning to hand-crank the motor from the harmonic balancer with a 37mm socket and breaker bar, removing the spark plugs and spraying some "fogging oil" in the holes but there's not much room to get in there with the radiator fan right up against it. Jacking the car up takes too long and I can't leave it half done between visits. So now I'm was thinking of cranking a few times it using the starter (removing plugs and spraying oil first). Reckon there's any chance it will do more damage that way if something's stuck inside the motor? Should I really change all fluids completely before I go any further? Grateful for any other advice you guys have to get her going safely too.      
    • Well, that's just wierd. Amongst a string of seemingly benign introduction and request for help threads, we have this one with a link.... to another, unrelated thread inside this forum. Colour me suspicious.
    • Sorry to say, I think that is a pretty long shot on this forum.....
    • sorry, "info" from Lumley here: https://www.lsvcarinsurance.com.au/about-nrma-insurance
    • So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.
