New job decision is in!
I don't need to go into the army anymore as I GOT THE JOB! ... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Communications Engineer Trainee!
My day went very well and at the end of it I was took to the owner of the company to 'talk business'.
Not only did I get the job, the company have matched my current earnings ($10k more than spoke of at interview) ...
Soooo, decent job with REAL prospects, decent pay to start with, company car, phone allowance, laptop and all tools provided, and what at first glance seems like a decent bunch of fellow employee's ...
The ONLY prob I guess is the pressure is on! They originally was after a school leaver to train up, and me being 'mature' they're happy to pay me more than the crap wage they'd pay a teen, but in turn I HAVE to perform and pick it all up in 3 - 6 months, normally they'd give a year!
I have to do a Telstra course asap so I can legally play about with their wiring, and will have HEAPS of homework to get up to scratch, but I've craved a technical job for a long time so will be happy to throw 100% at it fa sure! ... this IS my chance!!!
If all goes well in a year or so I could be earning an above average wage, and have VERY good job prospects! ...
CAN LIFE GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS???
For now it can't! ... I am ecstatic! ...

Re: New job decision is in!
Fantastic news, well done, the study will be worth it,
My OH is currently doing CCNA (I think) trying to cram in a 2year course in 6-8months, so far he is doing realy well, he's a clever bloke (one of the 'geeky boys' and is already in IT, he is realy motivated by the fact that he will bemore employable with it in Oz
How long did it take you to get a job, did you have to do something else when you first arrived or ???

Well done
The army is tough at 18 let alone 38
The company car and fuel is worth well in excess of $15k on top of your wage.
Good luck

Re: New job decision is in!
Thanks everyone, and yeah 'over the moon' REALLY is an understatement! ...
I've considered allsorts of recent inc regular trips back to blighty to get by, so this REALLY is my / our chance to stay put on The Gold Coast, which deep down is what we ALL really want ...
Oh long story ...
ASAP. I have to dig out my current contract to see what the notice period is, but I think it's 2 weeks.
The sooner the better!
Not given any yet ...
I did, but I knew London VERY well before I started so completed in under average time. This time I've wired a few phone extensions ... that's it! I've got heaps of phone programming to learn and allsorts, but as I say am eager as hell so will give my best shot! ...
