Join Australia’s Defence Signals Directorate

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

In case there’s anyone not a member of the UCC who’d like to be a cyber-spook with Australia’s Defence Signals Directorate.

We are looking for passionate technical people who are interested in:
* Programming in high and low level languages
* Responding to incidents on critical networks
* Computer forensics to help find the really bad guys
* System administration to support our specialist networks
* Penetration testing, including tool and exploit development
* Software reverse engineering for malware analysis
* Computer and network vulnerability analysis and discovery
* Secure system and network architecture design and risk management

The campaign will run from July to September, with electronic
applications closing on 17 August 2008. During September, DSD will host
a fully-paid 2 day assessment centre in Canberra for those applicants
found suitable during the first phase. This will also give applicants an
opportunity to meet our staff and see the exciting range of work
available at DSD.

More information and details of how to apply can be found at

If you have any queries, please email cyber-ops@dsd.gov.au

Kind Regards,

I’m guessing you’d probably wind up working in sunny Canberra :)

Australian mining jobs

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

I’m seeing a lot of jobs ads via Google for mining jobs, obviously the shortage of workers is so desperate they’ll accept internet users at places like getajobinthemines ($30 for the inside info in a PDF, or you could probably bribe any mine worker with a carton of beer :) and minejobsaustralia. Then again at the salaries they’re advertising it sounds like not a bad idea!I hear what a lot of people are doing is to get a job with Transperth as a bus driver (if you’ve seen their ads on every bus they’re obviously desperate, and if you’ll know the drivers are inexperienced) then after they’ve trained you up and you’ve got your heavy rigid licence try to get a job on the mines.
