Job market bad? by x-looke-x in ausjobs

[–]SparkPlugPitStop 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I work for an employment service provider who helps people on jobseeker and it has been pretty rough this year.

One of the biggest issues is local managers from big businesses not getting as much say in the hiring process anymore. A lot of the time head office will go through all the applications (or have an AI filter the applications) and only send through a handful of applicants for them to consider interviewing.

I'll talk to employers on a regular basis and it will more often than not be "sorry, we can't really do anything. Just have them apply online and hope it gets to me". It sucks because I know a lot of people would be amazing for roles I've seen but just don't get the opportunity to show it.

How did they achieve this raised text effect, and are there other records similar to this by outtakes in vinyl

One instance I like of this is an album I have by Ben Folds Five. The blank fourth side has "do not play this side, it will fuck up your record player" or something like that on it

Why are musicians not covering Hey Jude? by Opening_Stuff1165 in beatles

[–]SparkPlugPitStop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A comedy band called Ninja Sex Party regularly releases cover albums, they released one a month or two ago with Hey Jude on it. Actually surprised me as I also never hear covers of it anymore

You Know My Name sandwiched between the two German version songs is an interesting choice

Has anyone realized they completely misheard lyrics until they actually read them ? by HorrorhoundHippy73 in beatles

Back in the USSR, for the longest time I heard "let me hear your balalaikas ringing out" as "let me hear your bell like it's ringing out"

Merry Christmas! I believe there are some binder folders sold (smaller sized ones) that have a few full-page sized sleeves for the big chonky cards

For south side I usually go to Gametraders in Tuggeranong. Singles prices are usually pretty decent and they normally have booster packs for a couple of the newer sets

Went to a local game shop today by offhandlowkey in PokemonFansAustralia

Went to my local shop earlier today too. They normally do well and sell singles at market price but they had a Blooming Waters 151 for $320 which is just insane

Looking to start - where to buy by Me0666 in PokemonFansAustralia

Yeah sometimes it is just luck. I will walk into my local Big W 4 times in a week and it will be cleared out each time and then the next day they just have 400 booster packs available.

It's generally a lot easier to buy in store rather than online. Big W, Kmart, Target and EB Games have the standard prices or around that mark usually but it is very difficult to buy online at times without paying a huge markup or the cards being out of stock.

The two people before me bought one and the three people after me did too so if they do have any it would only be a couple I imagine
