LiftedDisco Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Congratulations... another Harpers success by the sounds of it! [Edit]... actually, having walked the dog and thought a bit more about what I had put here, the success is yours and HAU has simply given you the tools to be able to learn and, equally, the respect in the employer community that helps you find roles like this... Bowler do a lot of super secret stuff for LR where LR want someone to do the 'mad professor' bit with 'would this work...' that keeps LR at arms length from the truly nutty stuff but which then pays dividends when it does actually prove to be viable. Nice one, well done... hope Jess (current 1st year) can follow in your footsteps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Thanks again all. Proper chuffed. Can I ask Jessica who? Might know her/know of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftedDisco Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Jess Alvarez - she's the 5' 2" girl... apparently the only girl on the Off-Road Engineering course...! She came in on Foundation (having messed up at A's by her own admission) but seems to have really flourished in the last 25 or so weeks and appears to be on course to be 'promoted' to BSc or BEng for 2nd year. She's got a 3 month placement (unpaid) with LR for the summer, working in the Vehicle Capability Team All the best at Bowler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Was this yours and Mike's first interaction then @LiftedDisco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftedDisco Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Yes, I’m pretty sure it was - and I hadn’t thought any more about it until a couple of years later when she bounded in the door (she never goes anywhere at a ‘normal’ pace…), saying she’d met an amazing chap who worked at Bowler and had been at Harper… Recalling this exchange, I’d then looked at her and asked, “is he called Mike…” which absolutely horrified her as she completely misunderstood the fleeting forum exchange and thought he was one of my friends…’beyond weird’ was her reaction… Needless to say, she relented and saw him again, and again… and it all went from there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
