I'm also a draftsman, but my job is secure for the next 4 years.

I study with a friend who has also been made redundant, TWICE in the last few months.

Unfortunately the pay out for the 2nd one isn't very large at all.

I'm sorry to hear about it man, good luck in finding another Drafting job, I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

313, normally I'd say great news being redundant, but not good in current market.

Look at your skill set

Market it more broadly to catch more jobs

And take what you can get right now

Things will improve in time. Does depend on your financial circumstances of course.

Fair few of us drafties around it seems. I, however, have managed to keep my job, although I'm only on a casual (but still 5 days a week, 9-10 hours a day) basis until we start selling vehicles (our side of the company is almost out of development hell, other side is performing solidly despite the downturn)

My jobs about as secure as they come, every day we've got more and more work lined up for us - in the past two months we've even had to take on a couple of extra's.

So I guess I won't be expecting you in to do your exhaust Rowan?

Ouch, that's harsh to hear mate. Hope you find something soon. It's not easy when you don't have that constant source of income anymore. This time of the year is not really that super when it comes to looking for a job.

I'm doing contract work at the moment and am only secure for the next 6 months. This will buy me some time in which hopefully I will find another job. I just need to learn to save the money I'll earn just in case I can't find one in time.

Sorry to hear that, Rowan. It's a good chance to finish up the studies and when the economy picks up again you'll be right there to get a bigger and better job!

A lot of redundancies around now. So far I haven't had to let any of my guys go yet. I work them really hard + long hours but because I can get so much out of each person, I don't have to let anyone go. And I'm in the risk business and seems to be plenty of work because poor risk management is what started all these shenanigans in the first place.

dam that sucks. Sorry to hear Rowan... Unfortunately that's the way it goes for job security in the private sector.

Just for those who are desperate for work... Perhaps looking for positions in Government would help you in the mean time just to get some sort of income. I know there are a lot of temporary and permanent positions going. Having some income is better than nothing in this time where economy and jobs have gone to sh!t.

i worked for GHD u probly know them

Instant you said 100 people were laid off I knew it was GHD.

We lost two in our Alliance because of it. Whats dumb about it was they were part way through some very detailed work, and now all that knowledge is lost and someone else will take a month to get it back to the same position.

Feel free to send me a CV and I can pass it onto HR at KBR.

Sorry to hear buddy, been made redundant before because of the slump in real estate market...but I was lucky that a family friend had a job going in their agency the next town over so I was good.

Hope it works out for you.

Talk to Daryl for the pricing, or look for the thread in the Aurion section for more information. SRI will be coming along in a few weeks, need somebody's car for a day or two to check it doesn't throw any error lights.

Where did you do EE at? I was at Yeronga (along with Daryl), a lot of the teachers there should be able to hook you up with some jobs.

By the end of last year, I think they were doing anything and everything to get rid of us. The market still ain't so great at the moment though unfortunately.

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
