Have found that this is the case in the IT industry too. I recently finished an IT degree at uni, and have been on the lookout for a graduate's position and/or entry level job for the past 6 months, and it has been sooooo hard sourcing possible jobs. Haven't been picky or anything, just want to get some experience in any area of IT, so i have that experience as most positions require 2+ years experience, yet there's no one hiring to give you that experience.

hey jordz, maybe you should try some of the IT places that do training too etc...
like infoxchange in abbotsford...?
im sure there are others...but tis not my area of expertise at all

i say if you cant get work in your chosen area and you know you have skills, offer yourself up as an unpaid volunteer for a few days/days a week and show them what you are capable of?

my theory is companies like people who show initiative, so maybe thats a way to get your foot in the door?

Just the environment at the moment mate. IT is quite project based so the IT labour market tends to contract quite heavily in an environment like the one we have at the moment. Additonally grad recruiting programs tend to get seriously trimmed in this sort of environment too.

So being an IT Grad is double punch in the nose.

If its any consolation the environment was like this when I was a fresh grad too. Falling equity markets and everyone trimming costs. Grad market was so fucked that the job I did end up getting I first had to battle 1500 other grads for it (1500 grad applications for 3 roles). Altho I'm not IT.

BUT things wille eventaully bounce and get easier, in the mean time I know its prob not your first choice but the best place to start will be helpdesk/deskside jobs. These jobs are always required because users are always and will always be dumb and need help.

Yeah, have started to notice that. Been trying to move away from the helpdesk jobs, but lookin like i might have to bite the bullet. Although, with that said, most of the helpdesk positions i have come across ask for a minimum of 2 years experience - AGAIN the experience shafts me :(

Great idea about offering to volunteer - hadn't thought of that!

Thanks for the advice guys. Tis muchly appreciated!

Employers shed 44,000 full-time jobs in December as companies reduce payrolls to weather the weakening economy.

http://business.theage.com.au/business/ ... -7hdk.html

Bloody hell thats massive.

Yet the jobless figure only went up to 4.5% from 4.4%...

How?
Full-time employment dropped by 44,000 to 7,640,200 while part time positions soared 42,800 to 3,102,200, bringing the net loss of jobs to 1200.

you'll find with the unemployment rate % the figure is somewhat tweaked. In addition to what 10:15 mentioned above as well as other ways they define the pool of people who are looking for work.

Unemployment is not a precise concept. This is true even in countries, such as Australia, where most production of goods and services is done through the formal economy, and most people work for wages. Australia adopts the standard international definition of unemployment: people are unemployed if they did not work for at least one (paid) hour in the previous week, were actively seeking work and were able to accept a job in the next week if it were available. The definition makes it clear where the imprecisions arise.

People are asked in a telephone survey whether they worked for pay for at least one hour in the previous week. Those who worked in the ‘black’ economy are unlikely to respond truthfully to this question. People who really do want to work, but have given up actively looking for a job, are excluded from the measure of unemployment. This gives government the opportunity (and many have taken advantage of this) to reduce the measured level of unemployment by providing a small welfare payment that takes people out of the workforce. My last point is that a person is counted as being employed (hence not unemployed) if she or he has worked :angry3: for an hour or more in the previous week.

There is world of difference between working one hour or 40 hours per week, in terms of both effort and income. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has responded to this last point by constructing measures of under-employment, as well as of unemployment.

I know a bit.

No training or anything but I did IT support for a few months. Basic networking stuff, auditing, installing / ghosting new machines, driver troubleshooting etc.

I've applied for a AV technician job a mcec, would be sweet to get that, at least I've got some training in audio.

Hi,

I'm thinking of making some life changes and I'm trying to think of a job I can do.
I'd like something with not a great deal of human contact, but I'm afraid I'd be useless at manual labor.

I'd also like to be able to travel to this job via public transport. Money isn't a huge issue (never earnt much anyway!!!) So don't be hesitant to suggest anything!

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very thankful,
