Redundant: Perth father faces 'soul-destroying' searchok so I have contacted Dave Shaw through Linkedin. When I went to Linkedin I found out that he recently got started with relevant work in August 2018 (so recently). My contact with him was to see how I can help others in a similar situation - perhaps through his story sharing and with what I do already through Job Transition Strategy. I have...

Redundant: Perth father faces 'soul-destroying' search
How does one get in touch with Dave ? I would like to have a coffee with him if he is interested. I guess most who have commented can relate to his experience. I was lucky enough to get a job on a mine site in a skilled electrical position after a period of unemployment. I am now 57 and the sense of relief is still something I am reminded of...

Redundant: Perth father faces 'soul-destroying' search
I have been out of work for almost 18 months now. At 57 the chances of me gaining employment are getting pretty slim. I have applied for over 100 jobs and the outcome has been the same - someone better suited, they can't say I am too old. I can't even get a job as a TA because they say I am over qualified. Another 7 years until I can...

Have you been a victim of ERMS – a secret blacklist preventing some people getting jobs?I posted originally, 28 OCT, 2016. Never ever been able to get a job - just the one interview and I was overqualified........ Left Oz and got a job overseas - seems the only way to get work. So since being made redundant on 31 Oct, 2015, to 20 Nov, 2017 I was not able to get a job in Oz. Nice - NOT - put a tremendous mental, financial, and...

Whistle blower: Labour hire workers are scared to complainThe labour hire companies squeezing the worker by keeping their roster lean. Cant get a full roster but every site I go to their are new workers being employed and lots of immigrants. I jump across to a 2nd company to fill my roster and there are lots of new shirts from my original company. No performance issue - so why keep hiring and not...

Thousands of mining jobs are waiting in Western Australia but Aussies don’t want themIf it is so hard to get Aussie workers in WA and they want to fly in internationals... Why won't they fly people from the East Coast? Its just a reason to exploit cheap labor and lower wages more. G. Jacobson, 27/07/18

Thousands of mining jobs are waiting in Western Australia but Aussies don’t want them
So here we go again the mines winging to the government again they cant get people, its just a ploy like last time to get cheap labour from abroad. Maybe if you didn't make 60,000 people redundant and learn how to look after your staff people would trust you, why would you now leave your full time job to return to an industry that has no...

Thousands of mining jobs are waiting in Western Australia but Aussies don’t want them
I have applied for many roles in WA and it seems that if you are on the east coast, you're not good enough, an iron ore conveyor is completely different to a coal conveyor! Kris, 27/07/18

ERMS Blacklist WhatsApp Group Set Up By WattElectricalNewsOn this site people are questioning if there is a black list. I was recently terminated from a position when I applied for access to the Oil and Gas Project in Darwin which was a requirement of the job. I had previously worked at the Oil and Gas project from 2014 -2016. I was shocked when I was denied access and terminated from my new positio...

Have you been a victim of ERMS – a secret blacklist preventing some people getting jobs?
My employment was terminated in 2015 for raising awareness about my work place being non compliant. My management were actively bullying me with intimidation, threats, false allegations that only eventuated out of my original complaint due to reporting the poor work environment they had to failed to address on several occasions. This finally...
