VERYSTORMY Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 seek.com.au is the biggest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmaclec Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 seek.com.au is the biggest pile of fake jobs you will ever see. People look at it and see over 100 jobs for their profession advertised and think it will be easy to get a job. I am a spark and have applied for around 100 or more jobs on seek in the last year and had maybe 2 or 3 replies and 1 offer of an interview. Better to look in local paper as these jobs are real or approach companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 The smaller classifieds are great for jobs as lots of the smaller companys dont advertise on sites like Seek, alljobs etc etc.. Another option if you already have the visa is to contact company's direct, stay up one night and call them to sell yourself and see if they have any work. The white pages on line will help with names and contacts numbers of places. I would also look into whats required to get the QLD licencing, as its a bit tricky for Electricians and plumbers and can sometimes mean taking unskilled work until you get sorted. Lots of luck with everything Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdoc Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 cheers guys doing a reccie in 3 weeks so will pick up papers and see if i can make some contacts.looked into the QLD electrical license Cal not easy but will see what happens if i need to change jobs so be it.just as your quote states nobody said it would be easy they just said it would be worth it. Thanks again guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozzachino Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 We used the local jobs paper and found it just as useless as seek. Either got no reply or saw it advertised on seek as well. OH had more luck with a decent agency, i got my job through gumtree in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
