Thread: Out of work again

The problem is their has been no jobs growth since the late 90's so with more people coming into the workforce everyday and with baby boomers not yet retiring.
the government to cover this up has changed the employment reporting to cover this up, if you work for 1 hour in a paid or unpaid position for the previous 4 weeks and have to of applied for a job in that time too or you are not counted

I hope you find work soon, Craig.

Not much nightlife between Dartmoor and Dergholm.

And the occasional koala.

Wednesday rang a customer i dealt with they are in the throws of expanding and have offered me a senior position yet to be created Thursday i had a job interview and was a offered the job to start monday, Friday another interview with a offer of a job as well as 2 more appointments for interviews next week .
Id say hang in there guys use your friends customers you dealt with or cold call and that old hag internet job sites.

That's fine if living in a truck suits you, and you pass your eye test, and you like dealing with the robots from VicRoads and the RMS, and you aren't in your nearly mid 60s, and all of your truck life has been spent in the same industry so that your contacts are worth something, and you are physically capable of doing the work of a 40 year old, and you are happy missing the various birthdays, graduations, concerts, and other family things that most people consider necessary chores. If taking whatever is there is your criterion for anyone who is out of work then I guess you have a point.

I can do all that again, but I'll be 64 in six weeks, and I don't want to.

Find me a job in a truck that pays well enough and doesn't involve interstate and is in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne that will employ a nearly 64 year old with certain work related disabilities and I'll agree you have a point.

In the meantime, please keep me informed about this "senior position yet to be created" you mentioned. Perhaps you could interview me. Surely you have been in this game long enough to know when someone is shooting you a line.

If you want to be negative you are behind the eight ball from the word go
There are plenty of yocal job`s out there as i just found out and one of those is resaonably paying one in your neck of the woods down the hill also Dyer`s are also looking for local and country drivers i have a interview with them next week
Like i say dont be negative be positive
Most of these mob`s are over the 457 jocky thing and look upon experience and age very favourably
So unless you are in my shoes dont judge me as i am just fine thank you .
I have a few window`s of interest on the go at the moment .
Chin up young fella and be positive.
