Will work in dealer or interdependent workshop.

Man, I can relate to that, It's been crazy here for the past 4 mos.     ( and not in a good way) with no sign of relief in sight. I think 2015 is going to bring change for me also.

Good luck, keep us posted  -Mike

Good luck!!  You'll be a valuable asset to whomever snatches you up.   

I'm sure if there's any Nerdz up in the Brizzy area, they would hire you asap.

My offer still stands if you want to move Sydney.

Anthony

Dont worry about a green card here in the states. Plenty of people here who dont have one

Good luck!!!!@

I have been what you called shoved to the side where I am at the moment and just spinning filters and fitting tyres. Haven't done any real work for about 2 months.

Mainly just want to get out of this rut.

Mainly chasing something challenging.

Not currently, but maybe in the future.

Anthony,

I suggest that you consider the Melbourne suggestion...it is a good one..

As a boss looking for employees, experience in one model doesn't bother me, however is is also advantageous as we work on quite a lot of toyota's.  What I am looking for and im sure every other employer is, is some one who is passionate, willing to learn, shows up every day and is not a smart arse.  Everything else can get taught. You also seem to be a tradesman who is constantly willing to learn.

This is how I have taken on most employees as well as my 2 apprentices I have now.

Good luck

Andy

Anyway my tool box wheels are greased to move on again.

Here is a updated resume.

Anthony: Just how far north of Brisbane are you willing to travel? The boss lady here would love to hire another good tech, the commute would be a gold plated cast iron B!tch though, plus it's butt snapping cold up here, -31c a couple nights ago, -28c tonight.
Best of luck, hopefully you find some closer to home work.
-Ward-

P.S. On the outside chance you wanna move and freeze the bollocks off let me know.

Ward, hold your horses. I'm in California and much closer. If he is moving at least let him move somewhere less, umm, frozen.
We have openings

Americans are affectionately know here as "Yanks" and Canadians are sometimes referred to "snap-frozen Yanks"

Mike, the green card is a seriously hard thing to get hold of, I looked into it some years back.

A mate of mine that specialized in Detroit diesel engines actually went and had a holiday/job interview in the US .
He got the job no worries at all, it was the months of correspondence that went back and forwards.
He actually gave up in the end.

It might be different now that our two countries have a free trade agreement...

Well with Transit it is sometimes hit and miss.  Where I work our tooling in my opinion is pretty good and we training every time we get new buses, but hopefully we will be implementing more in house training in the future.  Plus I agree you want to find a good learning and training enviroment where the people are supportive.  Maybe some of the other Aussies on here can help you out.

Can I ask why you are shifting?

Andy

I'm from a family run workshop down in Browns Plains (Southside Brisbane). We see ourselves as an innovative progressive workshop and certainly believe in investing in technology and training. We don't particularly have a vacancy at the moment (1 mechanic each on 4 hoists and mum and dad in the office), but 1 guy hired last year has had a couple warnings and isn't particularly working/showing enthusiasm up to our expectations if you know what I mean.

Would you consider southside? I could at least run your resume past my parents and have a discussion. Or if your willing to go southside I could at least keep my ear out for other workshops in the area.

Anyway, good luck with it all, you sound like a really good asset and I think any employee is lucky to have someone enthusiastic enough about the industry to be an autonerdz member etc.

See you around at a training night etc. maybe

No problem, understandable if you live a bit too far away just thought I'd check. You work in the Gabba? I live there and yeah its about 25 mins each way down to Browns Plains. Small world.

Well let me know if you end up moving house etc. All the best.
