Hi,
Well, it is a public holiday for most Australian's today & we are still on school holidays over here in the West - so today's fortnightly newsletter is coming to you a little later in the day than normal.
BIG NEWS of the day is the launch of the LookUpStrata Strata Job Listing Directory which went live this morning. If you have a position to be filled or you are personally looking for a new challenge, have a look at post below for more information or email me if you have any questions.
If are not yet a member of LookUpStrata, we would love you to Join Us.
Thanks

To celebrate the launch of the directory, LookUpStrata is offering the very special price of just $55.00/listing (inc. GST) for the first 3 jobs listed on the directory. This offer is available until close of business on the 9 October or until 3 jobs have been listed.
If you have a strata job to fill, reach out to the RIGHT people!
For a flat listing price LookUpStrata will also promote the listing across our social media channels.
