Anthems Unemployment Thread

I remember seeing someone say (either here or on RA) that Bakers Delight at welland is looking for people - counter staff I believe so would be retail hours, not bakers hours... fair hike from your place, not really cafe work... but still within the industry...

might be worth checking out?

http://www.perecorp.com.au/employment/current_vacancies.php

if you register with www.perecorp.com.au then you can fil out a page of jobs you are interested in and they will put you in their database for future refrences

perecorp own the on the run (petrol stations)- employment there could include- brumbys, happy wash, go, smoke mart, gift box, subway etc

I can't afford a fair hike at the moment...I don't even know where Welland is

There is hospitality dedicated Agencies...

Dont recall any atm. Will look and see...

All the work I have had in the past few years has been through Agencies, never had a bad word spoken of me, but then again I work too hard for my own good.

Spotless is a hospitality agency, they do all the catering at events and thing and i'm not sure about other times, but yeah, they fill the corporate boxes with food and booze and stuff at clipsal and i THINK the ashes..

Might be worth checking that out.

near my place... kinda... Port Road

Depends how bad you need work as for traveling?

I have to drive an hour a day to get to my job.... up at 4am...

And since I don't have my P's yet it's a bit tough...

That REALLY sucks, you need to make with the getting your P's!

She has her L's ... she got them a little while ago, she can't really hurry it up lol, minimum of 6 months I think on L's?

She has a name

Yer you're right there...But I could have been using this 6 months to actually do some driving...But since I'm scared enough of car crashes I really didn't want to be driving a car with a buggered diff...Coz then when I'm drifting it sideways around the corner it could blow up, and I could die

Sorry she (Luce )

Fair enough ... but even if Ace were to get that Skyline, wouldn't the cops pull you over in that? I doubt they'd let Learner's learn in a Skyline ... or was he gonna get it fixed then just sell it off after you've learnt in it?

and that there is probably half of what makes a good driver. Knowing the risks, being aware, and AVOIDING THEM!

There is a job available soon at Mainpac Pty Ltd, the place that i used to work at. They are looking for a "customer relations" person, pref someone with an education in Bussiness/IT (when i was doing it it was help desk... which it really is tech support but they wana change it into customer relations lol good luck to em) anyway back to my point

if ur looking for something like that dealing with alot of customers on the phone and leading into something like business management or account manager and you have alot of customer service experience contact Mainpac.
They will be advertising this w/e
gimmie a pm ill send u the details

She has her L's ... she got them a little while ago, she can't really hurry it up lol, minimum of 6 months I think on L's?

Think so ... and then there is that new P1 and P2 crap that i dont get...

Its just hard with the whole getting to and from work without your own transport, because public transport is getting expensive as of late.  Like $3 or something for a 1 way bus ticket?!  Bleh!

If you can afford to own, run and maintain a car then you should be able to afford the $3.60 that is a bus ticket.

And for unemployed people there's such a thing called "Concession"...So instead of paying almost $30 for a "Multitrip" ticket...I only pay $16 So 10 trips for $16 is pretty good!

You wouldn't be able to own, run and maintain a car on $16 a week!

Buy a scooter and you'll find the expense of travelling around the place becomes cheaper than fukc.

.. if you're super cool you'll buy a motorbike instead so you can give the scooter riders shit, still have cheap transport, and have a whole stack of fun in the meantime

Justin im going to set your motorbike on fire soon.... because mine isnt done and you CONTINUALLY rub it in my face

what kind of IT knowledge/experience would be required? any ideas... I could be keen in putting forward an application

I just have a question to ask...

How many people here have lied on their resumes to get a job??

I just have a question to ask...

I have heard 'on the run ' servos are always looking for staff...

kandii- seek always has HEAPS of jobs in for admin/receptionist/etc

I just have a question to ask...

How many people here have lied on their resumes to get a job??

oh, you mean like the 20 - 30 I have been applying for every day for the past two weeks?

Thanks for your imput, but I'm not an idiot.

never seen a guy work there..

so you have two options...go for it...or see how you look in a mini skirt

I have never lied on my resume, and I do not attend to.

YOU should apply for Valleygirl Lucy. You would look better in a miniskirt than I would

...yeah ok.... i thought i wrote in the topic title 'need help finding a job'

your obviously your doing fine at finding one all by yourself

my mistake

I have never lied on my resume, and I do not attend to.

deatil me up Sang I couldn't find a link when looking in this thread, so if anyone has ANY helpful information, let me know

intend

BTW... if anyone would like a proof reader for their resumes and/or cover letters, I can help you out there More than happy to

You guys need to chillax and stop jumping on the defensive. Just cuz you don't have a job now is not a reflection on who you are, it just means the right one hasn't come along yet. Wouldn't you rather be unemployed than working in a job you hate?

I don't have any job openings atm and our pay rate is incredibly low, you wouldn't want to come work for me. Some 14yr old dude and his mate got attacked by a bunch of school kids yesterday, one of them got away and came into my store yelling all the police and then semi-passed out on my counter, leaving all the glass covered in blood. Because of the lights we've got under the display most of the blood dried to the glass pretty quick. Took me forever to clean.

Trust me. Elizabeth is not a fun place to work.

By the way...don't you sleep either?? I noticed your post being at 3:42am and the other just then.

I had 3 years of fun Working in Elizabeth!!

Speaking of patronising...I can f*cking spell (most of the time) I'm just f*ckin drunk. Thanks for you concern. There's nothing wrong with my resume.

And no, Tashs post never said that the job was advertised in their shop window. I can also f*cking read.

*shrug* Sometimes I can't sleep.

Was pretty good fun, got introduced to a supermarket of drugs, stolen goods, debt and drinking on lunch breaks!!!

I wasn't offering to proof read your resume. In case you've forgotten... I don't actually like you The offer was to everyone else

poving outs gotta suck tho.

i enjoy being unemployeed   / i have enjoyed (depending on if i get the job next week)

and i dont give a stuff if anyone judges me on it

you have never heard someone judge someone on a job?

or on not having a job?

i was saying that i dont care if i am judged on being unemployed...not about my job

agreed!!! I used to care... now I realised it doesn't make you who you are! so what if you work at maccas making mcram meals or if your a big executive woopde do!!

A cover letter should demonstrate to the reader that you have read the job ad carefully and that you are truly interested in that particular job.  Many hiring managers will not even look at a resume that does not come with a cover letter.

The cover letter should:

Be to the point. Should clearly link your experience to the role being advertised.
Be no more than three to four paragraphs long.
Be positive and upbeat. Make the hiring manager interested in reading your resume.

The cover letter should NOT:
Be a summary or repeat of your resume.
Be a uniform letter you send with all job applications.

Here are some examples:

Dear Madam/Sir, I read with interest your advertisement seeking an advertising sales professional, as I believe I possess the attributes necessary to make the role a success.
As you will see from my resume, I have a proven track record in advertising sales as well as selling to all levels of management in the tourist/hospitality/travel sector in 14 different countries including Australia.

Adept at leading a team or working as part of a team, I am also an enthusiastic self-starter able to work from home. I have initiative and loads of drive. My personal motto is: "Never give up". Technical skills include telephone and face-to-face selling, Word, Outlook and Excel software proficiency and strong communication skills.

I hope to have an opportunity to meet with you to discuss how I could contribute to your team.

Yours sincerely,

Your name

Mr John Smith,

So you gonna be out on the force or pushin papers or what?

I've applied to become a police officer and it's been approved so I'm thinking of leaving retail which isn't taking me anywhere at the moment. Payment in the Police force is very good

Always wanted to do it as a kid, my uncle is an inspector in the NSW Police and my grandpa was Chief Commissioner but I never met him, and Bec's dad is a cop so I have good references

Harley get him to get into contact with someone like Adelaide Training and Development. They were Port Adelaide Training and development but has since branched out and might be able to steer him in the right direction. Until the end of this week at least I work in the Manufacturing Industry and I know there are massive shortages of suitably qualified boilermakers... all of them are heading into the mining and defence industries (another option for him to explore - they pay well too). You can also get him to call my work and ask my boss if he knows anything too. Derek from the Manufacturing Industry Skills Advisory Council. [phone removed]... he works closely with industry so might be aware of something or someone who can help your mate further.

Firstly, I should've probly pointed out, I work for Tunza Fun, Tea Tree Plaza

Yesterday I found out my boss is firing two of my staff for theft. This is most annoying because I'm only babysitting the TTP store while the other manager is on 3 weeks holidays.

We need one Junior and one Senior. Junior position (5-15 hrs) is best suited to someone school age. Involves serving customers and running children's birthday parties

Senior position (5-20hrs) is best suited to someone at TAFE or Uni. Involves serving customers, fixing games, rotating weekend roster etc.

If you are interested or know anyone who might be interested, get them to go down to the TTP store and fill out an application or drop off as resume but our application forms ask everything I'll need to know.

This needs to be done asap as I might have to run interviews and hire someone this wknd, not sure yet what's going on.

G.

Thanks mich much appreciated. I just txt him that number and told him to call it asap. And i will email him what you had just wrote. Thanks again

Well as of today I need to start agian looking for work.... I am too flexible to work as a blackjack dealer...

I will employ one lucky lady to be my slave, i pay $3.50 an hour plus benifits

i applied for more jobs today, have to go to stupid job place 2moro... fkn centrelink. i dont need help getting a fkn job...

Um... don't take this the wrong way, but if you are unemplyed, in their eyes, you DO need help finding a job.

and don't look at it as a bad thing, they teach you some really helpful things.

HELP is not a bad thing. and its also not a bad thing to ASK for help

i think its the actual person you go to... if they are not helping then they are not doing their job

which means if you get them fired... there is another job opportunity

Nice babe... congrates.. can you get me a job there???

I start my new job on Monday, can't wait

Me getting this job is proof to you all that your dream job is out there

i am... i dont like working so unemplyment is my dream job...
early retirement

what do you think boyfriends are for 

How's your new job going Lucy?

ok so i am really keen on a job i have applied for and i really want it,... still waiting to hear back from her... but they are really busy cos they have no staff and uni all their staff go to uni.... so i dont expect to hear from her untill next week i rekn

Is this your dream job Emma? If so then congratulations!

I'm still trying to figure out what my dream job actually is

I know it is out there, but then once I know what it is will it be acheivable? Will I be able to do it? Or get it?

I guess it's my own decision really...It's all up to me...

I'd like to know what the percentage of people in the WHOLE WORLD is that are actually working their "Dream Job"...

Centrelink are a bunch of complete morons, the system is designed in a way that gets you off their back as fast as possible.

They will tell you to look for ANY job no matter what it is and will stop your payment if you don't, not only does this waste your time you have to be trained and end up working somewhere you hate. I mean its one thing to tell people to be realistic but its quiet another to sabotage their job seeking.

10 jobs per day?

I think they lied to you there bunny....

jobsearch requirements have ALWAYS been 10 jobs per fortnight...

To meet the requirements of a Jobseeker with CENTRELINK yes, it is 10 per fortnight.

But when you get put into a Jobseeker Intensive Support Programe and get sent to...Say Jobs Statewide they ask 10 jobs of you PER DAY. And you are required to do so many hours there. When I first went on it fresh from highschool I had to go everyday. Mon, Wed and Fri it was 9 - 4 and Tues and Thurs it was 12 - 4 or something like that...

They now have me on the same Intensive Support bullcrap, and want me to be at Elizabeth Jobs Statewide 3 days a week from 9:30 until 4:30 ( I don't go, I don't need 8 hours of my day wasted 3 days a week )

Same as when I did a Business Course through centrelink. I was required to look for 10 jobs per day.

It's their way of pushing you into a job that you don't want to do...If they palm you off for Intensive Support, then someone else gets to hassle you about it. And if you don't meet the requirements, like not showing up, and not searching for 10 jobs per day then you get reported and can have your "benefits" cut off.

I don't know if it's still the same now, as, like I said, I don't attend my Intensive Support sh*t...But that is what it was 4 years ago, and a year ago when I did my business course...

you been on intensive job support for 4 years?

Went for an interview yesterday to be a delivery driver for a gas commpany (delivering gas bottles to people)... No word yet... And they said they'd call today.

ok but on a more serious note,  i went for an interview 2day for a cafe in north park

as in northpark shopping centre? i have an interview there next week!! but not at the cafe.. at the salon heh

I just had the most amazingly awesome fantabulous interview ever today.
I passed the initial testing, 20 went in, only 5 of us made it past that stage. 
Then there was the psych test, which i came out of not sure if i was happy or sad or if liking to go to parties was a good thing
Then the Australian Idol type interview, which I passed with flying colours from what they told me.
OMG life feels so good after a good interview

I GOT THE JOB!! OMG!

I GOT THE JOB!! OMG!

Well folks! I finally got a job! Woooooo!!

A 12 month traineeship in the RAA Call Centre.
Start Monday.

Poor pay, but good oppurtunity and experience and qualifications.

Good luck

seek and you shall find!!

Give it a go if you think you are up to it

only double time for Christmas day ? 

I get double time after midday saturday, and sundays. Public holidays I get double time and a half. which equates to $60hr. noice.

That's what I was thinking...
Well I have planned to have a meeting with my soon to be new boss when the change over is happening to sort out exactly what is going on with my position. If I don't get what I want, then I'm walking.

I'm thinking of doing Nannying, or becoming a "Manny" as they call it on my off days.. Anyone else done it before? A couple of my friends do it, but i hardly see them anymore. From what i hear it's looking after kids between fostercare, get payed while you sleep!

Bexter... all the best with your 'screw' job. But personally I think that pay is incredibly low considering what you'd be doing. I wouldn't work in a jail for that amount.

I earn a lot more than that for just sitting in front of a computer all day.

My mate works there and takes home over $1k per week.  And because of the fact that the gaols are full, there are penalty rates for staying back an extra 4 hours, so yeah, its not as shit as you think.
And working in a gaol isnt bad, ive been to yatla (not behind the perspex), walked around there, seen the crims, most the time they just want to do their time and get out.
