Help Me Get A Job

[ausdrift]

OK, here it goes, the call for help: I need a job.

First, the background. Ive been living long term in Japan (7 years) and now that Ive come back Im finding it impossible to get a job. I have a polished resume, a variety of experience and in almost 2 months havent got so much as 1 interview. My fiance is packing up and coming down to Aus in a month or so and I really have to be earning before then. Time is running out and need to get something fast.

So my big question is, do you know of any jobs that are available where you work? Maybe you know of positions opening up, or someone leaving, or just that your company needs someone. Below are my skills and experience.

Degree in management (Marketing)

6 years magazine writing/photography, mostly cars and motorbike mags

teaching

good skills in writing, researching, organization, speaking, business understanding.

Im ideally hoping for something low level in business/marketing/office support or similar, but at this point im open to any ideas whiich involve a full time salary.

I live in the eastern suburbs / bayside area, and hope to work there or CBD

If you know of anything, please let me know or let your boss know about me. I can be contacted at [email protected]

Thanks in Advance,

Jeremy

Oh, also, if you have any ideas out of the ordinary for finding jobs, that would help too. Cheers

lol dont mean to be rude. but i wouldnt be hiring someone with that email address.

i suggest making an email address with your name in it and use it for business stuff ie. finding a job..

just a thought.. good luck!

Thanks for the feedback. Naturally, I have more than one email. And the S13 is long gone too ; (

[Sunkist]

fair enough..

have you tried getting on linkedin/ismycv and professional sites like that? also facebook is another site employers reseach you, so being careful about whats put on there is important too!

i used to do some intake for nab. lol its pretty messed up how fussy they were..

the guy has a degree in marketing and 6 years professional writing experience and you wont hire him cause you dont like his email address....

...Its amazing how you can bullshit through your ass on a piece of paper and get a job because of it...reminds me of "Catch me if you Can", where he makes up a pile of fake Harvard degrees and the guy gets a job running the hospital...

I'd hire the guy just for having a cool email address.....if I liked him that is ....wouldnt' hire him if he was black though.....lol

We have a full time admin type role going at the moment. In the finance area, responsible for arranging commissions payments to mortgage brokers, dealing with commission enquiries and problems, liaising with lenders and so on. We're based in Collins Street, 2 mins from Southern Cross station.

Looking at about $35k-40k+ super. Young company soon to be the biggest mortgage broker aggregator in the country. It's also a place that once you're in you get first dibs at any other roles which might arise.

I agree with the email address thing, too. Personally it doesn't bother me, but I know a lot of companies will do a initial elimination of applicants based on things like spelling, email addresses and the like.

I'm trying to consolidate my fours personal email addresses into one. It's proving fecking hard.

[Sunkist]

[PENGUYEN]

[emts]

I keep at least 3 that I check reguarly

1 dedicated work

1 dedicated personal.

1 for "spam" ie software/website registrations and such

there are others like the ones from my ISP and such but I just don't check them.
