After 3months of being unemployed, and not really having a "proper" job since I finished uni in july...

I finally landed myself a job... :D lol :thumb:

Working in Coventry, so going to be moving pretty much asap! It's a "SERP" Engineer position, with a company contracted to Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin :cool: Nice tidy salary as well :D

Anyone in the Coventry area?

Soooo... I thought i'd spoil myself and blow the rest of my overdraft insuring the valver so I could have a play this week :thumb:

It feels like a weight has been lifted!

congrats again!

I spent 3-4 months waiting for a design job down my way after uni, I didn't have the money to move out to where the jobs were so I've ended up in a vehicle finance company - fail. It's only temp tho :)

cheers guys! moving is the only downside really...! starting on ?18k, not too bad, then after 3months it goes up to ?20k then another 6months it goes up to ?22k.

We shall see how things goe :)
