Spent this morning sending out "No" letters for a position I just filled. There were about 30 odd. Last year I had not one applicant for the same job. I reckon I'm getting about 2 or 3 walk ins a week too. Definitely a lot of people looking for work out there at the moment.

Western Australia has just signed a $50 billion deal to supply China with LNG over the next 10years.
The Gorgon gas field will be developed off Barrow Island (50km off shore of nth west)
The accomodation camp will cost 500 million alone.
Other fields are gearing up off Karratha to accomodate a massive shortfall in energy demand.
Like to earn big bucks?
Adv ride on your weeks off?
Skill up, base a bike at Karratha and enjoy.
Ya heard it hear first.
(putting up with Aussies is the hardest challenge)
I'm to jaded and "over it" to hit the Pilbara again, but if your in your twenties/Thirties, are single or have a strong relationship and no kids, then look into the next big boom. Energy energy energy
