chunkyed Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Went for an interview today at Swadlincote diesel fuel injection services ltd today. They specialise injectors and fuel pupms, there a Bosch company. Is this a good trade to be in? The bloke who gave me the interview basically said the job was mine if i wanted it. I would have to go to London for training. It's 12 miles away from where i live, Is it worth all the traveling? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSS Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 How long is the training for? And at 17, a single lad, with no missus (or kids) what have you got to lose. It may turn out to be the best thing you have ever done, but you don't know unless you try. My advice to you edd, is stop being lazy, get out of bed and do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8landy Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 ANd you are questioning about traveing 12 miles? Dont let your new boss read this, he might take back his offer! Have you missed the news recently where people can not get jobs and will travel 120 miles (60 miles round trip) for a job, then you might have somthing to question.

My advice to you edd, is stop being lazy, get out of bed and do it There will be courses all the time i expect. And for the 24 miles a day with no transport.... Hmmmm. As you say chaps i have nothing to loose. Give it ago and if it doesn't work out oh well. Also he said if i didn't want the job he could speak to some local dealers for me. He said that he thinks i would make a good technician/mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8landy Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) And for the 24 miles a day with no transport.... Hmmmm. You have legs? or for a bit quicker a push bike? its 12 miles, not a trip to mars. Tut the yuth of today. When I were a lad I would walk 60 miles just to get my paper round done Edited July 5, 2010 by V8landy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 pushbike you're looking at 40 minutes each way till you get fit then that will come down, I quite often cycle the 10 miles into my office quite relaxing in the morning and when traffic is bad nearly as quick as driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
