    How many Australians here?

    Sheesh, that is pretty bad, I won't try and sell anything big then since no one local will bid. I can't believe a forum this big doesn't have more aussies. Mostly americans then I guess here, judging by all the USA flags as avatars.

    Resume help please

    Hi Nocturnal - try being less focussed, maybe more a general sales career can be your objective, or are you only submitting your work to wireless companies?

    Investing on stocks, where to start?

    Well I recently dumped a lot of my savings into a company here in Australia called AMP, that had spent most of 2002 falling from highs of $23 down to $6 but was back up to $8. I thought it was underpriced after such a big fall (fall was due to bad expansions in Britain). I was up $500 and pretty...

    Are any of you full time students and hold down a full time job?

    I have a mate who does 7 subjects at uni as he is studying for a dual undergraduate degree in Business and IT, and also a postgrad coursework diploma in strategic intelligence and holds down a job at nights too.

    How many Australians here?

    I was just wondering how many aussies use these boards, in particular Brisbane? I was thinking of listing some old computer hardware for sale here but I really don't want to ship overseas so it would be good to know if there were any locals who may reply.

    Where to advertise?

    Well to be honest my business has been my personality for late, so it's almost appropriate. I usually need my posts edited anyway, so BetterEdit is a good nic for me. This forum does seem to have a more "personal" feel to it then other forums I have been to - and it's an IT forum, go figure!

    Where to advertise?

    And you got me in trouble for answering seriously with sales information which RudeGuy took offense to. No problem, we wear the "little penal colony" jokes often enough as it is, andother one won't hurt :brokenheart:

    Where to advertise?

    Hi RudeGuy, Well that was a rude welcome, but thank you for being so forthcoming. I will try and curb my promotional efforts and enter this community with less sales pitch from now on. But tell me RudeGuy, do you have any comments on search engine listings? That is a relevant topic no? Do you...

    Where to advertise?

    ACT - not the most happening place in Australia, but well worth a visit if you like politics and all things government. I've visited webhostingtalk a bit, great site for inspiration and advice - in fact I found out about these forums from webhostingtalk. I'll have to look more into the search...

    Where to advertise?

    I already use the google adwords system, which so far has been okay. It tends to drive more people looking for editing work then actual editing clients, but at least it has improved the awareness of my business. We can edit in whatever English you want because we have editors located all around...
