The Joint used to be pretty cheap with their $5 rum and coke. I think they're like $6 or $6.50 now.
Looks pretty solid, thanks 🙏
Been furiously applying for jobs over the past 2 months. Early on, I landed two interviews that were unsuccesful. Since then, I've been getting nothing whatsoever. Starting to spiritually resonate with the cliché the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again but expecting different results by lowkey loosing it. Hence, I'm asking strangers for help, perspective, and anecdotes.
I'm after research work (and related) in the biomed/health sector. Been diverseying the search, scouring company websites directly, using LinkedIn, the Victorian Gov careers site etc. Rn I've got decent career momentum and need to stay within this field bc once your out its unlikely to get back in without pursuing further study. Look I'm not the most qualified but certainly not the least. Hell, even got some peer-reviewed publications out last year.
If you've been stuck in the perpetual job hunt chasing a specific line of work, how did you get yourself unstuck? And, is it worth calling hiring managers directly to make yourself more known? And do you have any tips for presenting / preparing applications?
Note: job agencies don't offer much assistance in this sector.
Cheers everyone!
I am looking for call centre work, so my advice may not be quite suited. However, I can empathise with your plight. I hope other may have more relevant advice - I believe perhaps MeanElevator
Unfortunately your industry is quite small in Australia. This might seem outlandish but have you considered overseas work? Even if for just a period of say I don't know 2 years?
