JJF93 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I have moved to Northlakes with my parents from Scotland a year ago and have struggled to find work. I have applied for several jobs and have had several job interviews but never seem to get anywhere. I am looking for that one chance to start a career within Australia. I Have Completed 6 years of Secondary School and determined to find work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeegieDave Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 At your age I'd be looking at an apprenticeship or university in something you are interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calNgary Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Have tried to get an apprenticeship as I have completed a pre apprenticeship course in automotive mechanics back in the UK however I haven't had much luck so far. Have you contacted all the main dealers and garages around you ? You should find something, if not try and look closer to Brisbane. Don't rely on job ad's ,cold call garages and sell yourself. My 15 yr old is currently doing a school based apprentiship as a mechanic so there are places out there still taking people on. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 How about a Tafe course or a university Course? The Aussies love Aussie experience/quals. If not drive around garages closer into Brisbane and just ask if they have any work going or they may know somebody who does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
