Have gone a long time without a proper job. Partly through my own laziness and partly through having my career trashed by the idiocy of Hewlett Packard.


Well they finally gave me a 2nd interview yesterday, this time I had to meet the Financial Director.

Unbelievably was early again (those that know me will know how shocking this is! ) and had a relatively pleasant chat with the guy (this was non-technical interview) for 45mins. Asked me a few awkward questions and he appeared to be trying to catch me out on a few career history things (like he asked me who the drivers were during my 2003-2006 Mclaren time and I couldn't really remember! ) but it was mainly ok and I was pretty honest.

Anyway, couple of hours later one of the Directors phoned me up and said they'd like me.


Pretty chuffed as it's been a while since I had any work. The money isn't amazing at all but there's a bonus scheme (I don't know the details yet) that's pretty good and the training should be very good so plenty of scope to move on if I dont like it! lol

Might even be able to pay the mortgage and buy fuel and food without worrying constantly!

Best of all, should be able to get the Locost back on the road! Yippeeee!


Anyway, just thought I share some good news on here. If I can get a job then anyone can!

Cheers,
James

WELL DONE

Nice one

I had that feeling for the first time when applying for my placement this year. After all the effort and fuss of sending off CVs and application letters I received a few interview invites at my top rated companies, first one I went to offered me a job on the day! Its a great feeling knowing that you were selected over six or seven hundred other applicants!

Hello James

Congratulations on your Job...

I just secured my one year visa after a harrowing 45min interview by two terrors of custom officers, job was dependent on obtaining my visa... so I'm as chuffed as you are, just need to pack the case and fly out on 10th of June

Haven't worked in 10 years so to suddenly find I'm gonna teach foundation engineering is a little daunting


Bangkok Here I come !!!!!

Congratulations, James... might see you up at Newlands in a Locost then?

well done

i must admit you nearly cought me out with that story of you working at mclaren

Nice one James, really great news mate
