In WA at the moment, business owners are desperate for staff, but in particular trades. The unemployment rate is currently 3.5%. The news is full of these stories every day. If your in for a change of scenery, come over here and I'm confident you'll get work almost immediately.

I stayed in the Globe Backpackers for 4 weeks, and snagged a very good paying job for my first real stint at I.T Went to the internet cafe every day, spending 3 or more hours at a time applying for jobs and doing up resumes as well as doing application letters. In the end, i had 2 job offers and one 2nd interview request and had to make up my mind what i wanted to do... plenty of opportunity here..people will give you a fair go! It's hard work, but its rewarding!! |

Thankyou everyone for the advice.
Gas0Lane: Yes I probably don't really need the literacy sides of things, it's mainly my Numeracy that weakens me. Last edited by Ryan; 11-06-2006 at 11:25 AM. |

If you have confidence talking about cars then that confidence will shine through when you face them and tell them you want a job.. Tell them you will start anywhere, do anything.. be persistent.. You have that confidence about you in cars, pursue it.. Good Luck and we look forward to hearing a 'I am about to start my new job' thread from you very soon.. Cheers Kerri

The way things are going trade is were the money is going to be unless your a lawyer, doctor etc? There is a massive shortage of trade people out there.. Welding,metal work,metal fabricating etc...Tafe all the way..

Ryan I agree with above - Some of the other trades are paying double what working in Automotive does. Cars can always be your passion and hobby - just bear that in mind.
Attitude counts for a lot. An amployer has to be able to look at you and have confidence that you can do the - a can do attitude will get you so far. Your attitude is in the right place Go Ryan |

You obviously took your literacy and Numeracy course seriously... your spelling and grammar is excellent! It's better than 99% of the people on these forums.
Congratulations, and I guarantee you that will be an asset to you in your career whatever you decide to do!

my 2c . mate get your thinking confidence hat on . don't worry about training yet . try kitchen shop fitting or cabinat making industrial places. walk in say you can start now . keep going down the whole street. they have plenty of labourers jobs going often , also pubs . go in and put your name down . bar assistant .( picking up glasses and washing them and cleaning. . if all fails stand in a pub at night with a sign around your chest ( looking for work) or strike up conversation . someone might give you a start. then after you score a job . work hard , look around and grab opportunities.
