You change the job title of every job you ever had to Customer Service. If you had to deal with people, it's Customer Service. Alot of the time it will get you a look in.

KA banned me because he wilfully misconstrued sarcasm as homophobia, an assertion that pv4 then repeated after the offending post was deleted so there was no chance of anyone seeing the evidence for themselves.

Then I got busy with work and a new venture in India. Now I'm back in Australia and just wound up a contract I have a bit of time off, but nothing really interesting is happening on the boards so I'm only checking every few days.

Oh, and all the multis I use as well, I guess.

We're just taken one on (who is now leaving) and it's cost us thousands in my time and my colleagues time spent on holding his hand.

The benefit of a graduate though is they haven't developed bad habits that you need to un-train!

Less training
Less likely to be a Newstart/Centrelink requirement application
More likely they are actually capable
They know what the shit bits of the job are and are prepared to do it
Less likely to leave quickly and make employer go through the re-hire process
Less likely to injure themselves then end up on WorkCover
May be able to show the current batch of numptys how to do it better

I guess some advice I can give to those wanting to get into software development, get involved on open source projects on Github. If you really enjoy coding then getting pull requests accepted to projects would be seriously impressive to an employer and put you ahead of many other applicants.

Pretty much, people underestimate how much it costs to bring a graduate on. That's not to say that these jobs don't exist and that companies don't do them.

At least in my field, we find it hard to hire grads anyway so it becomes a bit of a disincentive to keep looking around for them.

Years ago, I was able to get 2 different jobs by lying (i added a bogus previous job on my cv). Depending on the job, and whether you really do need experience this can be an option.

The better option though is probably to volunteer / ask to do work experience in a similar role.

Is there a reason companies have a hard on for people with experience? Less training?

Takes a lot of luck :(

Is there actually a way to break the cycle of not being able to get a job due to a lack of work experience and vice versa?

to get a job you need experience but you need a job to gain experience :shock:

Wgmg: applied for level entry postions , get replies of your not experinced enough.
Despite the fact their ads say no experience necessary

Well said.

I didn't realise it was today and my mum forgot. I didn't miss it on purpose.

Jesus Christ you don't help yourself.
How could you miss something so important?

If i cost my parents $125 and it was entirely avoidable i would've got the buckle end of the belt!

Would you get punished for that?

A bottle of Jack Daniels costs less.

Jack, is also a friend. Talking to Jack after consuming Mr. Daniels can help sometimes.

Therapist? I have known people try therapy, also anti-depressants - so I am well informed. You just need to adjust your attitude. Happiness depends on a person's distance from Adelaide.

Nice try

I made a simple offer to a kid that struggles with his weight and wants to do something about it to put him in touch with somebody who can help and is knowledgeable and would likely chat and give advice for free coz she cares about people and is an amazing intelligent and caring person who is fantastic at what she does.

I never claimed to be that person and you shouldn't claim for a second that you were being genuine with your question.

Adios muchacho
