With that qualification I applied to Australia Post as a motor cycle postman as I had had no luck getting a job in general aviation. In fact I was rather looking forward to being a postman. To my dismay I wasn't even invited for an interview. No reason given. Mind you it was probably all for the best because two years later there was a mass lay-offs of motor cycle postmen and I got a job flying the 737 again.
Maybe Australia Post thought you would take off with one of their motorcycles.
