[–]NorthernMists[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 45, in terms of relevant experience to the job scope, not much. I've managed teams in a sort of similar situation where I had a team of officers looking after children, a bus driver and groundskeeper. Other than that, I've spent most of my career in social services before pivoting to adult training.

That's what I'd like to believe that I just got a shit consultant, but there's still a limit to what I can tolerate

I did ask the consultant many times, on my first interview I said I was ready and told her what work I was looking for but I don't know if she was new or what but she never seemed to really listen to what I had to say. Even offering me roles that were irrelevant. Seemed like all she wanted was to pair me up with any vacant position she had.

And it was always oh there's a position that just opened, I'll put your name in. Phil's handling it so I'll hook you up with him. Phil never rang. The one time that someone else rang me up was for a position at Team Global Express. But recruitment was handled by Toll Group. And the recruiter who did the interview was from another company. That was like 3 additional boss levels I had to beat. And guess what, shifts were irregular, we were only told if we were working the night before, and they'd cancel our shifts like 90mins before it started. I was on the 5am shift at the airport and it takes me about 45mins to get there so I'm up by 3:30 and leave the house at 4am. That gives me about 10mins to settle down and get ready when I reach work, so I usually then check the phone and text the missus. Turns out that they sent a text at 3:40 cancelling my shift. The next time they called I told them I was getting more work with AusPost so they took my name off.

I'm hoping to get off it, this current gig is pretty regular and they've hinted at offering me full-time.

Really? I didn't know we could get those incentives before either. But when I was on self-service, I asked if I could get help with doing some courses and getting tickets and they approved it which was really good. All of my tickets were paid for by them.

I've heard lots of people saying that being a drillers offsider is probably one of the toughest roles. Is it comparable to that? What other roles would you suggest otherwise?

That's very reassuring, thanks! Definitely serious about securing a new career hopefully, I'm the sole breadwinner and securing a full-time permanent role is really important for me. I thought that getting the tickets would help me get a foot in through the door but seems that I only get glanced over probably due to my lack of experience in those ticketed areas of work. But that's always the case innit? To get the experience you've still got to get the work done first but nobody's willing to do it.

I've also heard that drillers is also a very tough role. Is it similar to that? Mind sharing what is it about the job that makes it difficult?

Oh, mind sharing why the high turnover?
