D4N Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Had two interviews to day. First one was about 12 miles away from where i live. Start on monday if i wanted it. Nice small cnc company with great machines macking nice little jobs. Good wage (for an apprentice) £180 a week. Here i will be put stright on the machine getting tought how to set them programe them etc etc.. 2nd company is liebherr in sunderland about 25 mile away from me in newcastle, got the job and would start not this monday but next. Huge company no dought alot would of heared of it. Makes cranes for oil rigs building sites or for anything. And they are fooking big! Machines are about as tall as a house scared the sh*t out of is at first . Would have the chance to go off to work in austria for 6weeks next year. Thing though that makes me want to go there is that it won an award for the best apprentices so they give top notch training. Will be alot of hard work but well worth it in the future. Oh yeh and about 6 of my mates already work there which is always nice. So when i got left redundant back in November it could change my life in the future So look like im picking liebherr tomorrow
Trevmk3 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 nice one Dan, some of the machines in places like that are feckin huge and you could surely get a mate to give you a lift aswell if they live close by thats what i am doing at the moment with the apprentice from work, giving him a lift too and from and its only costing me about £5 a week for fuel (not bad for saying its 26miles each way )
D4N Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Posted January 29, 2009 Yeh theres a guy who lives not far from me so i think il ask if we can car share
Trevmk3 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 throw some money his way and im sure he wont mind
Admin Mk2Jo Posted January 30, 2009 Admin Report Posted January 30, 2009 Excellent stuff mate, well done
mk1mexico Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 Liebherr make cranes for our shipyard, and my mate works for the same company in Amsterdam fitting them up
D4N Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 Well i went into the traning centre and said i want to take the Liebherr job (I would be stupid to turn it down) . He made the phone call there and then and i start a week on Monday So anyone who gets made redundant you never know better things could come up. If i didn't get made rudundant i would be working in a small CNC company with just 6 other workers still.. This has and will change my life from know on some many opportunities now. Im so pleased
