Went for an interview/chat on tuesday morning and just had a phone call back saying iv got the job!
Working for this company - Diesel-Electro
Pretty much working on cars, pulling apart and rebuilding diesel pumps and starters/alternators. Will be working with 2 other people, 1 who is also new and the other is a 60 something guy who has 40 years experience with diesel pumps. Should be able to learn alot! :o
Also, its less than 1 mile from my house, so I can walk/bike there too!
Pretty much im over the moon and grinning like a cheshire cat. Cant wait to start!
Il look into mates rates for pump rebuilds/refurb and im sure il be able to do some pump modding on the side Got a bench tester :geek:

Btw Dan, how did you find this job? Was it in the paper/job site or did you just randomly apply to hundreds and eventually got a result?

Cheers everybody.
Tom - It was on the direct gov job seekers site. Literally the only job I applied for that week! Came as quite a surprise after the 30+ jobs iv applied for over the last few months have given me ZERO reply, which gets quite frustrating!

Congrats Dan, I'm trying to find another job at the moment, had to ban myself from ebay and the for sale section on here, cos I keep spending money I haven't got on the car!
Hate debt. :|
