Hey guys/girls im new to this forum so not sure where to post something like this.

Basicly im a 19 year old seeking another job in the metal trade.

I used to work for a place called Denkat trucks building custom made truck body's and special fabrications that company's required for their trucks e.g hydraulics, tie down point's, door ways, tail gates (not so much experience) and tow bars.

I have around 7 modules left till i complete my Automotive vehicle body building cert III. Also done abit of work experience here and their building radio towers, pannel beater, storeman.

I consider myself very handy for my age and fabricating metal is my passion. I am very good at mig welding oxy cutting etc and can weld to a degree with a stick welder, i have also yoused machines such as gillotines, benders (pipe/sheet) and i currently have my forklift license with reasonable experience on a few types.

At the moment my license has been expired for another 1.5 mth but appart from that i have reliable transport to and from work, i like to shop up atleast 15 20 min early as im sure my references will tell you.

I have prety much all of my tools $1000 speedglass welding helmet, face shield's goggles workwear Kingchrome top box full of tool's and a bottom box on rollers with even more usefull stuff (old boss realy hooked me up)

Thanks for spending the time to read all this and if anyone know's someone with a full time position/apprenticeship available or basicly any sort of lead i would be gratefull and if it leads to something good 6 pack may be provided Because ive been in and out of trials for nearly a year now and no one has realy had the work/hours to put me on full time and i desperatly searching for a foot in.

Dan.

Mate to be honest jump on seek would be ur best bet

I'm a sheety by trade and most places ive seen really want trade papers

Can u tig?

Also what have u been ally miging?

I know one place worth a shot but doubt they will sign u off

Ive been to all the industrial estates in tweed, currumbin, burleigh, murwillumbah and yeah thats the problem im finding, they either want fully trained with a minimal amount of experience.

and i have ally welded heaps of diferent things, ally truck base, ally gates, etc

Dan if your willing to do FIFO or move up here there is alot of adult apprentice jobs going at the moment.

as booztjunky said get on seek or something and have look or try the Bechtel website

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
