    Tele sales is a good way to go. My mate did it for Telstra. You start off with a couple of months fully paid training then sit in an office all day ringing existing customers to see if they want an upgraded service, i.e. no cold calling as they're already with Telstra.

    thanks for the suggestions, might try the blue collar place. As for telesales, I'd rather slit my wrists! I went through call centre hell for a good year while I was in college almost ten years ago, never again I said!!

    Did you see the documentary last year about the massive unrest in Telstra, the huge pressure being placed on the telesales staff to meet increasing sales figure. Staff who were getting great appraisals where on warnings in the sapce of 6 months. A couple of senior telesales staff in Melbourne committed suicide, whether as a result of this or not...

    Yeah I remember reading about that alright.

    But from the point of view of someone who can only work in the same job for six months then Telstra is a pretty handy avenue to go down, especially considering nearly half of that six months is training!

    Lads do either of you have any link to anything to do with this? My mate just signed a contract with them, but hasn't started there yet. I'd like to point this out to him if you before he starts there!

    yay, we won. So anyone know The Windsor in South Perth? That's my local anyway. I took a walk around Northbridge today with my German mate and we visited a few bars, I swear to god, 90% of the people on the streets and in the bars in northbridge were Irish!!! What's the story with that??? Is there anyone left in Ireland??? We went into the Sheds bar or whatever it's called and EVERYONE in the place was Irish, and it was pretty busy!! Must have seen about 25 GAA jerseys around there today too.

    Ok I am going to derail this thread rather than start a new one
    http://www.townsend.wa.edu.au/
    what is that location like? $35 for a single room, alot cheaper than any hotel
    just wondering will it be a crack-den?
    or some place full of tight-ar$e backpackers wearing socks with sandals?

    Well I finish up at 4.30pm so I should be around for whatever.

    I have every second Friday as casual (this Friday thank God) but pretty much everywhere else has it every week.
