Default IT jobs in Melbourne..out of the pan into the fire, and back again..

I was made redundant 2 months ago. Got 8 months payout.

Last week I was offered a new job with a Logistics company. Higher salary, better position in Melbourne SE suburbs.

There is work out there. But you have to be a perfect fit, (recruiter's words), and there will be more than one interview, and one or a series of technical tests.

You need to be a professional who does not sit in the corner, and need good - nigh on perfect, personable, English to even get to an interview, less hold the recruiter's attention.

Yours Aye,

B

It is tough, but there are jobs out there. It can also take a while as it is a buyer's (employer's) market!
