Hi all

Im just in the process of re writing my C.V. for my arrival in Australia (From UK)

Was just wanted to know if there is anything potential employers will be looking for? or if anyone on here is actually looking for new employees by chance?

I will be applying for jobs within the car industry, mechanics, servicing, panel beating, detailing etc etc. in the Geraldton area, although I will be able to relocate within a reasonable distance (An hours drive or so from Geraldton)

Also what would you generally wear to a job interview? smart shirt and slacks?

any tips much appreciated. . .

I cant offer any help with the resume but I'm from gero, only moved to perth a few years ago. It used to be pretty tough to get a job, but since most people want to work on mine sites you should be alright.

The only places within an hours drive are mullewa, dongara or northampton, you'd be better off looking primarily in geraldton.

Do you have any experience or qualifications in any specific automotive area?

Do you have any farm experience? Plenty of farms within an hour or so, it's harvest season as well so you might land something.

Grab the local paper (geraldton guardian), friday's usually has the most jobs in it. Check out some online places like http://www.midwestjobseeker.com.au/ or http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-geraldton/l3008139

I have experience in the following automotive areas:

Light vehicle fitting and servicing

Basic panel beating (Im currently learning)

Vinyl wrapping

buying, selling and design are strong points.

The rest of my experience is in people management as I work in head office right now in Tesco (International supermarket)

I also run my own ebay store (www.motomods.co.uk) its a little side project but has helped me build up an extensive network of suppliers and fitters worldwide. Suprisingly alot of my sales actually go to australia so im hoping for a chance to utilise that one day and creat a fully operating business.

I have no farm experience but I was planning on looking for agricultural work to allow my visa to be extended up to two years. Apparently 3 months is required but its seasonal so I may have to wait until Nov 2014 to get a job.

Thanks for the links dude ill be sure to check em out.

As far as I know, resume style is different

Bollocks. There are no rules. You write your resume or CV to suit the application that you are putting it to. You don't use the same format for a job as a carpenter as you do for a job as an engineer as you do for a position on a community committee.

      Or a useable metric unit?

      I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.

      It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
