Out of 10 people, there are two left. Had a mass downsize yesterday. That's the construction industry for you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosti NOT THERE!... THERE! Member 852 Member For: 16y 5m 28d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 19/07/09 01:47 PM Author Share Posted 19/07/09 01:47 PM That's sh*t to hear dude.All I can say is, try to look at it as an opportunity for a change.I was pretty bummed and a bit worried when I first found out. Had no idea where I would end up (if anywhere).But I've got the second callback for a possible job tomorrow so things might be lookin' ok.We'll see...Oh and being unemployed is so awesome for the first week!I'm sure the shine wears off eventually but I've got 3 weeks holiday pay up my sleeve and I'm enjoying waking up after 10, eating McBreakfast every day and workin' on my custom shaped assgroove in the couch.

Been in pre-press printing for the last 15 years and had 7 jobs. I lost my job over a month ago now and I'm thinking the same about changing careers but no idea what to do. Anyway good luck to all involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few commercial builders, PM me and I can point you in the right direction.I work two jobs so I'm not too worried at the moment. Have given a few contacts a call and they've all helped me out a bit. Was invited to a AHSCA seminar tomorrow so fingers crossed!

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 8m 7d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 21/07/09 08:17 AM Share Posted 21/07/09 08:17 AM Guys,I know things may seem a little tough ATM, but the trick to getting a job is all about presentation.Firstly, get someone you know who employs people (a boss or HR) to have a look over your resume. Make sure you have embelished your caree achievements and remove anything that does not relate to the job and is unimportant. The formattign, grammar and spelling is very important.I employ 16 people and needed a new account person. We threw out 90% of the resumes (over 40) just based on Engrish, Grammar or spelling. I figure if they do not put the effort in, neither will I.You need to make your resume stands out. Formatting and colour are very important. Make sure you have a PDF version so that you can email it.The most important thing is to keep possitive and be realistic. Delivering pizzas or stocking shelves will keep the money coming in, until you can find a more suitable position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
