Just got redundant from my job after a year as a Draftsman

has anyone else been put off on here and what did you do?

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)

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.

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark
