    You should never be retested by the same person, retests should be conducted by another assessor.

    That said there are some people who should not pass assessments, it should not be everyone passes. I have seen that before and you end up with some numpty who is just downright dangerous. Good example is doctors, just because someone is smart it does not mean they are suited to cutting people open with a scalpel..........

    Please for the love of god don't let yourself get fired for just standing around again. If you have nothing to do then grab a broom.

    Are you going to continue to look for better more secure work while you're at this job or are you just going to wait until you get tossed again? I'd be concerned of any casual work, particularly warehouse work leading into christmas. Who's to say they'll have enough work to go around by January/February next year?

    Yes i'm actually waiting to hear back about a few jobs.....One I would really love is Motorcycle Salesman at VERY big bike business in Melbourne called Peter Stevens.....They have basically taken over the entire market by stocking nearly everybrand available.....They just spent 2 mill on a new two level premises in Ringwood.... They're also going to do the same in Dandenong............I also have contacts in the industry and have used them as references.

    I have been fixing and riding bikes for 20yrs so i know my technical stuff......Just nee to be given a chance at some sales work......Even offered to work for free on Saturdays mornings to see how i go!

    Latest is Holden are presently speaking with GM in the U.S........Decision of possible early shutdown being made in January 2014.

    Shutdown may actually occur next year 2014. Fact is they're broke and Abbott has said NO MORE!
