Re: Where is Steve O
Hello Derren,
I was also concerned as to the whereabouts of Steve O (a relative of Jackie O, I am told) and wanted to add my entirely superfluous comment.
I hear the sparkies are far from poor and making my choice of a career in IT look increasingly foolish.
To say nothing of the lonely housewives that I have seen you guys encounter, according to the movies I tend to watch anyway.
Given I possess a soldering iron and have actually used it recently I thought I had enough qualification to enter this Den Of Iniquity.
However, as I do not have a ute I see my dream of being a fuse-carrying road-warrior as a very distant aspiration and will withdraw from this hallowed place.
Regards,
Vim

Re: Where is Steve O
Hi,
Im a 24 year JIB Electrician from the UK. I have been an electrician for 4 years after doing a 4 year appreniceship.
Im looking to move to Australia in the summer and im wondering what certs or extra qualifications il need to do before I can work as an Electrician in Oz.
My girlfriend and I are looking to move on working holiday visas with the possibility of staying there (legally) if all goes well.
Any help would be appreciated,
thanks

I can't come up with a worthy riposte. Farewell, and you're more than welcome back any time.Regards Derren

In NSW you will be able to work as an unlicenced sparky. The rest of the states are alot more difficult.

Re: Where is Steve O
You don't need to use an agency. Plenty companies will take you on. Probably on casual rates. ie more money but no holiday pay.
