I work in Sport, a big influence in my life. I work in Game Development - more specifically Education and Training at the moment. Got the job through a uni Practicum subject and I will be continuing to work there. The best part is, it is the place I have dreamed of working for since I was young.

Anyone here work for Tattersalls in the head office on St Kilda Rd, or knows someone that does ?
Just wandering what you think of it. I hear there's an open position there and its meant to be a decent place to work.

Don't worry Dan someone has to support the aviation industry, a couple more trips and Qantas will be sending you a personalised christmas card just like me :hihi: You should also note that it is important to share the wealth whilst your flying around and support the hospitality industry as well. God bless the bar staff at the airport.

Any also supported the hospitality somewhat there too! I like Qantas, but not when they co-share flights and you end up on planes that aren't as good (ie Japan Airlines)

Just houses. Sorry. Any mortgage, purchase, refinance, debt consol. Bad credit, low doc, first home owners, up to 106% LVR (so no deposit finance). Bank rates. I can give you the name of someone you can chat to about auto finance though if you want. |
