I would love a reply to this...............cheers pplconnor 1/ get your CV together, and pay a few bucks getting it professionally sorted if they can do a better job. 2/Submit your CV to any companies that you may be interested in working for ( 60% of positions are not advertised)3/ Use Seek/Career one etc to generate leads. ie recruitment agencies leave numbers and have contacts , call them4/Call potential employers as a follow up to point 25/ Ensure that you tailor your CV and covering letter to specifically meet the needs of any advertised position.6/In the advent of getting a second interview be certain to contact your referees to ensure their story matches your reasons for YOU getting that particular position7/ Use your network and keep your ear close to the ground regarding potential opportunities.Man the Phones8/ You are responsible for your own marketing program.9/Stay positive and create your own opportunities10/Perseverance does pay ,and it is a full time job to get a full time job. ie you get out what you put inOn a more specific note a meat unit manager for WW or Coles is not a bad place to start. Make it to area manager and there's $ 100 k plus car plus bonuses, I know where my first call would be. At the end of the day go get it. They will not ring you unless you give them a reason.Good luck Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48084-member-asking-for-help/#findComment-721116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best worker was a walk in with no industry knowledge, only some applied knowledge. He came in on a day when I was short staffed and under the pump to get some jobs done, I told him I have some work on the truck if he can start next day, he actually stayed that day and helped clean the factory.2 years later he is my head tech.
