The weather here fluctuates a lot, can be sunny then raining.

Beeps are good if you are not in an office I guess........ (lucky me at the moment)

It's 11 Degrees at the moment, but this house is not well insulated, too much open space.

Already caught a Melbourne Funnel Web..... I think it got in through the massive gap in one of the doors to the outside.

I am liking this forum, it even beeps when someone has replied!

Awesome!!

Just need to figure out the layout of the site, very different. Sure it won't take long.

Interesting approach, I like it

South Australia is colder than I was hoping..

Thanks All.

Hi,

New here, thanks to Scott !

Used to be an avid user of Spiceworks, that might change.

I see a lot of people really pushing for Certs or a "kind" of person but I think a lot of companies are missing the trick.

Sure, you could be waiting a long time to employ that guy/girl who has all the skills for x wage, but what if they never come, your business could suffer? and even if you employ them, they could not be suited or cause too much friction in the business.

Sometimes it's better to use your judgment accordingly and give some people a go, based on their attitude, how they come across in the meeting and willingness to learn?

so many jobs ask for VCP/MCSE/ITIL/Dell/HP and many other accreditations and whilst some people have it, someone just as good could be round the corner, that could be up to speed in X amount of time, at a fraction of the price at the start and could exceed expectations.

Of course, you have to be smart, put clauses in contract and add a longer probation period, including if they leave before X they need to pay costs, but that is understood in other industries such as pilots......... Some have 4-6 year tie in periods and too right as the training is very expensive.

This is just a general statement from me, just think more people should be given a chance unless something really specialised is required

Apologies for the boring first post .......

Thanks,

G.
