Popular Post discomikey Posted May 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2015 So all this hard work at university learning how to drink has finally paid off! It all started a few weeks back where I saw an advert for a job on Facebook, had a good couple of thousand shares so I thought it was no chance but what harm would it do to apply? I was surprised to receive a reply the next day inviting me for an interview, I took the interview and a day later I received the news that I was required to complete a small engineering challenge (create a production drawing for a generic sheet steel part) and a second interview, gave it a punt and they said they would let me know by the end of this week. Turns out I learned 'how to do an engineer' at uni, as a result I have recieved a job offer from......... ONLY BOWLER MOTORSPORT! I genuinely fell off my chair! Safe to say I'm quite pleased with myself! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discomikey Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Lewis, I've been fortunate enough to have 3 offers, must have done something right! Not quite sure what though. Barry, Imeant sure ill be a regular visitor to Shropshire once I leave. It's a lovely place almost as nice as Derbyshire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertspark Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well done & congradulations I recon many of us landrover enthusiasts / hobbyists would have really liked the opertunity to do something so closely affiliated to the marque with such a customising and prototyping company to see how bespoke engineering is done to improve performance across the whole vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discomikey Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Mutley, I think the going rate is a metric tonne per week! In all seriousness I haven't been out too much this year unfortunately spend every day including weekends in the library at least 9-5 most times 9-2am.

De Ranged Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Damm congradulations.... I'm so envious, decades ago I almost went down the engineering qaulification path instead I went logging lol every few yrs I contimplate going back to school to do it For you to get a job in a top tier company says you made the most of your learning congradulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
