Ive been a sparky for over 10 years now and its getting old.
My experience has been mainly commercial, industrial and mining construction.
In the last year Ive been wanting to get out and into something different.
Now that my wife can work full time in her much loved job Im wanting sugestions of a new and exciting career path to see me out hehehe.
Anyone got any job vacancies? Not in building or labouring. Something fun. Full or part time would do. Perminent and long term. Regular shifts. Early starts and early knock offs prefered. Stability etc.
I dont ask for much hey hahaha

Try and get in at Atkins or Blackwoods who sell sparky bits (if I have the right companies there?) ..... and demand 7 -3 shifts


Swap with Mikey - he does electroshock therapy (??? ) and you do electrics so hey why not? Then again I do a bit of electroshock therapy too


I know you said no trades - but colourbond roofing. Brainless but if it is windy you knock off early, if it rains you knock off early!

If you don't mind leaving Perth - Fisheries officer. Not good cash at the start but when I was up that way, Jurien Bay was a spot they could never fill. I sh!t you not! They all want to go waaay north for the $$$ and Jurien, Esperance and Gero are all easyish to get into.

And in the same vein as some other replies here......... Hairdresser in Jamaica?

They are looking for a non party aligned "Speaker of the House" in Canberra at the moment. Politics and religion are not allowed to be discussed. Only economics.
