, long story but I will let the legal types do their thing on it.

I need a job

part time ..full time.....street corner ( hmmmm with my age and looks maybe not)

Qualified (old) diesel mechanic, but hell I will work on anything ( I got a bevel ducati I have to).....have up to class 5 licence, have been known to weld and use a lathe.........not flash at that though.

Can you by any chance go back to your last employer and see if they will take you back..... and explain..... you maybe lucky and they might take you back, thats if you left under good terms.

Good luck with the other legal stuff with the now non employers.

Otherwise what about working at a garage like BP or shell etc to tide you over xmas... I know it aint great, but it is money.

0800 labour.

Call Trade Staff. This time of year, heaps of Mechanics take holidays, and w/shops are still flat out.
Better rates as a casual as well.

If you just want something to tide you over for a bit, NZ Post used to hire temp people to cope with the extra mail in the run-up to Christmas.

Bummer Mr R. Not good news for you at all! No job to offer sorry, but try the 0800 LABOUR people, this time of the year is manic so hopefully they can give you some hours. Good luck with it mate, may the legal process be a sucessful one for you! If you feel the overwhelming urge to blow some cobwebs, flick us a PM, we can go for a pootle somewhere.
