Hi Everyone, We are currently looking for a printer/photocopier technician to join our team to repair and maintain our fleet of Fuji Xerox machines in and around the Adelaide area. Whilst we are ideally looking for someone with experience in maintaining colour printers or photocopiers we are happy to look at people trained on comparable brands. Full brand specific training will be given and the position attracts a healthy salary, company car, laptop and mobile phone. We are looking for someone to start ASAP. If you are interested please PM me and I will give you my contact details so we can setup an interview. Cheers Gary

We did a 176 family sponsor, it was easy and pretty quick.

I'll have a beer with you Dan !!

Well, I will be going to work as we don't get a day off for it like the UK. Its just not on!!

Free wifi here is painfully slow. Depending on where you live will dictate your Internet connection speed. A lot of places in the metropolitan area can't even get ADSL2 due to bad cabling decisions made by Telstra. TPG and Dodo offer unlimited ADSL2 if you can get it, if you are using Vonage I would imagine you would want a naked service. Cheers

No worries, well if any more opportunities come up I would ge greatful to hear about them, even if not for me a know a number of tech's that may be interested. Many Thanks Gary

I would be interested to know what positions he is recruiting for as I am considering my options at the moment. If they are higher level positions please PM me. Many Thanks Gary

I am currently looking into this myself as I am looking at a variety of options for the New Year, one of which is starting up a business on my own. I have spoken to a helpful accountant who has given me some advice, and whilst there are few things to figure out it does look fairly simple, however as in any new business the hardest part may be in actually getting a sufficient number of customers to provide an income!! When are you due over as I would be intersted in speaking to you husband to see if we have any ideas in common ? Cheers Gary

There are always jobs around at the introductory/training level especially if you focus on the training the job will provide instead of how much income he will get. Seek would be a good place to start, if I hear of anything come up at this level I will certainly let you know. Cheers

The trouble is, in my experience, is with the recruitment agents not being technical They don't understand the positions they are recruiting for. They try and match applicant and the position based upon a few lines of text rather than understanding the clients requirements and the candidates abilities. This is not a unique problem to Adelaide, I had similar issues in the UK when I was recruiting staff. Since I have been looking for work I can understand the pain from the other side!! I basically ended up taking a job that is not really in line with what I do for less money than I would normally accept just to get me through the quiet period over Christmas. Am now revisiting my options!!

I have been known to pop out for the occasional beer, just let me know when. Cheers Gary

Don't know anything about hairdressing but I work in IT and have a similar background to your husband. I have had to take quite a big step back in both my job and salary to secure work here. There aren't that many IT Management jobs up for grabs and when they are advertised i have been advised by recruitment agents that employers always consider local people or people with significant local experience first. That being said jobs do exist but do not expect to find or get your ideal job first, you may have to gain some local experience first. Cheers Gary

Give Paul Sturges a call at Grace Removals on 8405 5022, he is a fellow Pom and is the Branch Manager there, he will sort it out for you. Cheers Gary

Hi, Me and BoxerTony are playing there tomorrow!

Hi Just wondered if anyone knows of any money saving websites over here? Back in the UK I used moneysavingexpert and hot uk deals alot and saved a fortune at Christmas. I'm not sure the kids will be getting too many pressies this year! Ruth

We ended up using Matey (Paul) in the end and he was excellent. He took the stress out of the day and we managed to move a fair bit of furniture in a few hours. We were really pleased with his service and rates and would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone.

We are moving Morphettville tomorrow!! If beers are on i'll be there, if its just girls I will ask Ruth if whe wants to go. Cheers

Bumping up!

We are moving into our new rental property on Friday and are looking for a "man with a van" to help us move a few large items of furniture, preferrably not too expensive! Just wondered if anyone knows of any? Cheers

I would make sure you bring some raincoats!
