its slowing down.. it took me 6 months trying to get another project role before i fond one.. and that because i know the people on the new project.. Now i was still employed whilst looking, which took the stress off, but basically got nothing from all the jobs i applied for on seek etc.

its slowed down allot. In my sector "resources" the trend is down.. o matter what job.. still it not quite dead and buried..there are roles.. just not many of them. Ah well.. still not done with the project i am on.. so still a bit more time to find the next project, before i have to tap the warchest and do some bench time

Not being nosey but wondered how much money people take?
Six it replied to shazb's topic in Money & Finance
i arrived with about 2000 AUD and a months rent paid for by my company... (and all bills) so just food and transport... it was just enough to get me to the end of the month and my 1st pay cheque -
i second the bit about safety. "give an example of where you brought about a positive effect on safety".. Its almost to the point where .. if you dont say.. "i'm safety focused" then they assume that you are not and that further more you some sort of madman..! or that could be just me? good luck... personally, i hate interviews.. taking them or implementing them

not going to get involved in any moral debate.. there are legal rules.. thats what actually counts.. someone else's view on what you should do.. well.. opinions are like a**holes.. everyone has got one arm yourself with the facts.. take it from there http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?221573-UK-debt-being-Chased-in-Australia and if you cant be bothered to read the tons of pages.. here is a sneak peak of the summary http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?304615-It-is-now-apparent-that-it-will-be-practically-impossible-to-enforce-a-UK-debt-in-Oz

Its an industrial town. Lots of people working on the Gas builds on the island.. or on the coal terminal expansion at Wiggins. I live in Tanuum Sands and its a good little burb only 30mins travel in the morning Only real issue is that the town has not been able to keep up with the pop surge during all this work.. so there just isnt enough shops and service providers ( doctors are always full) so its not unusual for us to hop up to Rocky to do some shopping.. or visit a specialist doc in yeppon But..if you can get into the construction boom here.. the money is eye wateringly good.. and it seems like it has a few more yrs to run ( they are talking about a channel duplication - and another Gas company , Arrow Energy, is close to saying yes or no to going ahead with their Plant

got to say.. $80K for a senior PM.. thats just silly as in bad.. money.. The PM's around here are on about $1800 - $2000 per DAY... now these are contractors..so no security etc.. no holidays... no sick pay etc.. but i would have thought that even as a permie.. you would be up at the $200K mark?
