View Full Version : New Job Time...
after getting a massive £20 bonus, which i personally find rather insulting and other issues... I've decided to look for something else.
But what, I have no idea what to go for tbh. It would be nice for a change not quite like the 6mth car change, but its been atleast a few year now doing painting and bodywork and ive had enough of it now.
The idea is to get away from it, and source a unit to do this in my own spare/personal time. :thumb:
So... Any suggestions will be welcomed. I have lots of admin/customer service bollocks on my CV. but the last few years it has been all bodywork.
become a man-whore?
lol i dunno, look for a sale job or cs job in an office?

Work in an office & you will end up killing your colleuges, the man whore idea sounds good, you get to choose your own hours, always wanted that freedom.
Yeah, I think i would end up Shouting abuse and getting fired soon after.

Ah a bonus in the motor trade.. Its all ways a slap in the face.
I don't blame you for wanting out.. After i left the bodyshop i was much much more happy. I remember drive thru town and seeing a piece of sh*t of a taxi and thinking "aaaggghhh i don't have to work on that anymore"
I wana get back to enjoying my cars, Not hating them lol. Which i do at the moment.
Trouble is this place is going to be gone by around march/april you can just tell with the way its being run etc. So i might as well start lookin now.
Ive got a weeks holiday left, so... End of Jan i'll be taking them and looking i think. :thumb:

What were you doing before Rexy?
I would help but I am totally without direction or doing anything of meaning. I also now am indifferent about the things I work with (IT & Media stuff).
I am thinking about some charity stuff but if I'm doing it for me then that's the wrong reason.
Sell everything and join a commune lol

You feel just like i did, i didn't wanna even look at my own car! Yet alone work on it. Getting out of doing your hobby as a job is much better. Hobby should be just that.

Didnt know you where in the motor trade...?
Stu was a techie ECU type blokey.
Now does a techie explosive type stuff lol

im sick of dead end jobs, im currently working for an agency in a factory making bumpers for jags, range rovers, gm items and various other companies, if i had no financial commitments id love to go back to college and re-train as a mechanic or electrician
Your lucky to get a bonus. I have never had a single bonus in my whole working life!

Exactly the reason I dumped the motor trade. Working upto 18 hours a day churning out hand built rally cars soon gets boring.
lol...
Might lookinto building trade tbh, Plastering isnt too far off what i can already do lol :D

There aint much work about in it at the minute chap, more so now then there was, but as theres shedloads of tradesmen out of work, everyones dropping there prices/rate's just to get any old work!
We've been inundated with calls from Decorators asking for work, but me & my business partner just aint got the work to take them on at the minute :(
Although, I do suspect that within the next 12 to 18 months the building trade will explode with work wether it be new builds, private or housing association work.
ummm, well i do one of two things...
Go down with the ship and carry on with the constant thought that this place is going under. or . . .
before the tax year ends train or try my best to get something...
ummm, not too sure. ive got ten days off now to think about things and which direction i want to go.
I really wish i did better in school now i want to be like the other boys with boats, houses and fancy ass cars :( pmsl. Saying that, non of the nobbers from my school are like that hahah.

Nah, its just another Big toy.
Hmm, going from motor trade to admiin/office will be a bit of a change.....
You sure you could handle it? Lol
BTW a £20 bonus is £18 more than i got from my place.
Yes i work for one of the most profitable companies in the UK, and we get a bottle of wine for xmas(which retails are £4.20) and after a sneeky look at the order system costs Co-Op £1.21 a bottle Merry fcuking xmas Co-Op lol
