Dirty32 Legendary member!! Donating Members 1,739 Member For: 17y 10m 7d Gender: Male Location: Dianella, West Oz Posted 04/11/08 11:34 PM Share Posted 04/11/08 11:34 PM I work in Recruitment for the WA mining industry and I can say that I have noticed a bit of change in how things are going...There are less companies actually wanting to hire anyone at the moment (which is understandable). Obviously a big drop in the price of commodities has a massive influence on this. A lot of projects have gone on hold due to companies not being able to raise funds to get them off the ground due to the lack of investor confidence. There also seems to be more people available and looking for work as a result of projects not going ahead or being cancelled etc, so most companies can be a little more selective as to who they hire as they have more choices in terms of candidates than they have in a while.What does it mean for me - a sharp drop in commission bonuses, I dont think ill get the arse, I will just have to work smarter and more efficiently and will have to be able to adapt to do whatever the market dictates...

I did a lot of purchasing while the dollar was in the high 90's and am now holding off till our dollar gains a little strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a guess what has happened to our company profit in line with tumbling share prices............We have already had redundancies with more to come as we are directly linked with sharemarkets - as you would expect. Great time to buy though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cold hard facts are in times like this the smart people get rich and the idiots stay poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough times ahead though.I appreciate your endorsement Dillz. It seems I'm going to be rich. If the system scales - exceptionally bloody rich.

tabletennisman Member 44 Member For: 17y 8m 24d Gender: Male Location: Toowoomba, QLD Posted 27/11/08 11:25 AM Share Posted 27/11/08 11:25 AM residential building industry is feeling it pretty hard! Sales have dropped dramatically, with trades beginning to be fully out of work by february/march next year... Huge decrease in contracts signed this financial year can be seen on the BSA website, but there are going to be thousands of tradies without jobs by early to midyear!! Not good at all! Just a matter of how long the sales are going to be low for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
