[brettprevans]

it could have been in addition to the normal work if it was closer

 

[Mattese]

Are they prepared to move interstate? I tick all the boxes!

Apart from:

Experience
Presentable
Fitness
Ability

Ok, all I got is enthusiasm. Sounds like a fantastic job for someone though. Many a man's dream job...

With half of Victoria up here already you could be forgiven for thinking that this ad was for employment with the Qld Noosa branch. Located in Hastings St of course. <_<

Damn it, relocate yourself to Newcastle NSW......

We may be moving there if the wife gets the job she wants, which means (due to the lack of casinos in newwie) that I would be looking for a career move...

 

[HoppingMad]

Geez that job description sounds like a dream.

Except for the Customer Service Guy salary that would no doubt come with it. (sigh).

Sometimes I wish I could do something like this just for the love of it.

+1, although I am extremely fortunate that I have worked as a Chef for 15 years and learnt a shit load(from my own doing really), I just wish now I could cook as a Hobby and not as a Job knowing what I know now about Food....

Id do that job though, I work for pleasure h34r: , big money doesnt mean much to me.... :unsure: Once you earn a certain amount of $$, its hard to ever earn any less....

So give it a crack. They can only say no.

The guys at GG first and foremost are passionate and I'm sure they would help fill gaps in your knowledge. A rejected job application costs you very little but not applying costs you the job.
