Default help/advice wanted!!

ok. so here's the story... most of ya will know that i'm a poor porper of a bus driver.. its a horrid job, due to passengers been awkward, traffic jams etc etc. i'm a fully skilled HGV/CAR mechanic (with papers) but dont like doing the job cos its dirty and horrid and i cant seem to settle down in a job... anyway, i'm off sick for two weeks now, due to stress, lmao!! me, stressed, never.. until today. the pressure of work, becoming a dad, some money issues have taken a toll and got the better.. anyway, during this time, i'm gonna have a think about a career change. staying within the motor industry, but in a different role. thing is, i dunno what. i love welding, but need certificates. i also like to teach, so maybe becoming an assessor or tutor. anyway, if anyone knows of any body who wants a trainee, within the motor industry, or has any advie, gimme a holla!!

andy No 4!!

How about selling? Not sure what the main dealers are paying or how they make their money.. but with your enthusiasm and passion, wouldn't selling a few motors be up your street?

as Most know I work for FMC FordRetail to be precise, I could look into car sales wages etc! possibly look at mechanic roles availablity at Castleford.

it may prove to be fruitless, but let me know mate

no i dont have an HGV licence! as for selling, tried it, and unfortunately i dont have the gift of the gab, and i hear most of your wage is commission. i could do with an income where i know what i'm gonna be getting... look into the mechanic thing at cas, or maybe even parts thanks for your input guys.. its good when ya have somewhere to turn in times like this.

TBH.. this is what the club is about. We've found over the years that the people make this club and the cars are a great way to get to the meeting place!

Seriously, if people can't help directly, then you'll have a dozen or more who are willing to help out in other ways, listen, cajole or kick you up the ****....

Andy send me a pm with what your looking to earn, and then also what you would actually take seriously as a salary.

I am the Transport Logistics Manager for FordRetail parts,Parts delivery drivers, and Parts Departments are right up my alley.

I have no direct positions available as of now, but if I know what your looking for salary wise I can do some investigating

i'm on £9 an hour, for 38 hours a week. so somewhere around that figure would do. i dont get any over time rates or anything.. to survive healthily i need to take home over £250 a week! (there, all the world knows my wages, but i dont care, cos i'm proud to say, i actually work )

its a waste of time earning decent money... becouse the tax man simply removes 35% of my total money... then the pension has just gone pop so i now pay £250 a month to make that up. i feel i'm worse of now then when i was a wee boy...

am gonna buy a foreign passport, attend a " i dont speak english class" and claim benefits... you get 3 times as much as the cuurent dole rate of 120 quid every 2 weeks. jump on the bandwagon, every one else is who enters illegally into britain and dunt work. sorry, but i do think i have a bit of a point..
