r/Toowoomba

I want to move out of Brisbane. I used to work for a SA call centre now i work in an aged care call centre for home packaging. I'm at an AO3 level, done payments and claims, etc. I basically just want to work in an office doing admin shit and answering calls. Another area would be compliance.

Hey guys

I'm wondering if anyone could like help me get to Brisbane tonight/tomorrow?

My ex boyfriend kicked me out because I refuse to do certain things which made me uncomfortable, after a rather intense incident the neighbours called the police and he was arrested but his parents won't let me come back to the house unless I drop the order and chargers which im def not going to do, Ive also shown the messages they sent me to police who said this is another possible charge thankfully.

The police collected my stuff and the homeless line have paid for accommodation for me in Brisbane for a couple of nights until I get paid and can go back to Sydney, is anyone able to take me to brisbane if you are going that way for work or reselling that way?

I don't have any money but I'll like promise to try and make you laugh :).

Any new places to eat in Toowoomba? We've done all the usuals many times over, hoping there's something new that's popped up in the last 6 months?

Want to hire for a family visiting the area. Don't need a limo. May be an Audi or BMW premium vehicle. Vendor recommendations?

There is a company in Toowoomba that's telling their contractors that it's OK to knock on doors with no soliciting signs. If anyone can let me know who that company is I can stop them.

Why is it so nearly impossible to find a job here?

I've lived here for a few months and I'm struggling to find a job that doesn't require certifications or work experience, I've heard people say that I should just walk in with my resumes and ask if they're hiring and others say they'll just turn you away and tell you to apply online.

I've already applied online, for quite literally every single job I could possibly imagine and find, I either receive zero callback or get a rejection ages after I've applied, I've even tried to reapply to places, and the problem is I don't exactly have connections here since I'm so new to town, does it seriously require having to talk to every single person I can find to get something even as simple as retail?? this job market is crazy

Now this is a bit of a rant and i also know these people are just trying to make a buck but i had the unfortunate experience of copping these solar people twice in one day. I was at an elderly relatives house and one came to her door (she's a 5ft tall 70 y/o) and the bloke definitely crossed the line of what is acceptable. She made the mistake of walking out her front door to talk to this person and she basically got cornered by this tall young bloke who would not take no for an answer, I was listening from another room and I must of heard her say no to him at least 15 times and that she wasn't interested and for him to leave and he just bloody well wouldn't listen. After being asked to leave (many times) he then demanded her phone number so he could prove to his boss that he had been to this house and also that he'd booked her in for a follow up consultation (at which point I came to the front door and in no uncertain terms told him to leave immediately) and at the door i saw him in her personal space towering over her .This was plain and simple intimidation and pressure selling to a elderly person (an easy target) not to mention creepy. When I got back to my own house a different bloke from same company knocked on my door and I just said no thanks and shut the door so the guy just raises his voice and starts half yelling his sales pitch through the closed glass door at me? WTF is wrong with these people? They have clearly been told to be aggressive in their tactics.

Cost of living is rough and big expenses are tricky. Does anyone know of a local mechanic who allows payment plans?

We are on the hunt for some land (40+ acres) around Toowoomba, preferably on the north side. We like the look of the areas around Geham, Hampton and Ravensbourne as we prefer the red soil to the black vertisols.

Does anyone have any experience with these areas please they could share? Hoping to get recommendations on the best place to focus our search. We aren’t in a rush so are willing to wait for the right place. Looking for somewhere with decent rainfall, good usable soil and a great community.

Thanks
