hi folks, just a wee thread about WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS, i have just returned from brisbane with my family after a 2 week reccie of the area, loved it, great people,(thanx to all at the gold coast meet on sunday. took away some great info... amazing how much u learn in just a couple of hours!!!) , great weather and wot a lifestyle. fantastic.. anyway back to the issue in hand . as you may know i had an interview with WS in rocklea in south brisbane and was to go the new Cummins garage for an interview, from what colin at WS said it was the best thing since sliced bread and brand new(sounded too good to be true, but i took his word on it) so i met up with colin and the office and the whole family went to the garage...!!!! WELL.......did colin live up to his word i hear you ask??? DAMNED RIGHT HE DID!!! WOW wot a place, everything he said was true, had a great tour of the place and as colin said ultra modern, i loved it. i had an interview and got the job..woohoo.... that was on the friday so over the weekend we searched for houses outside of brisbane as we didnt want to live in the city, we really couldnt find anywhere that we felt was right , sprinfield lakes was nice .. but not for us, looked at forest lakes and again didnt quite fit the bill, the only place we really liked was halpine lakes and north lakes (north side of brissie) it felt right.. not really any different to the other places , but just had a feeling it was right, but too far from the job. so with a heavy heart but an honest head on .. i had to decline the job.... boohoo!!.. but it was the right move. but have been offered jobs up there so its not all bad...
the reason im writing this is cos WS had some heavy stuff written about it from lots of people basically acussing them of not doing wot they say they would.. all i can say is that even though i wasnt going down their normall route (as im 136 visa) but WS couldnt be any more helpfull, a spade was a spade and thats it... straight talk and no BS..
its true that if you are 147 visa then WS pay you and then the company after a year.. but hey thats the price you pay for sponcered visa..
so if you want a job then im pretty sure they can help... colin can be contacted on 07 3875 0010 ... please note that this is my own personal experience and i did say that if they where crap then id tell you.. and them... but the sorted me out no probs... just a pitty we couldnt find anywhere that "felt" right for us in the area... im afraid its northlakes or bust for us ..lol good luck all john, marie and the kids
