Been busy this week, got a couple of interviews lined up for tomorrow and Friday. One is for a motorcycle parts supplies company so hoping to get that. The other is delivering and installation of office furniture. Both over five grand more than the last job 🙂

Getting fat and lazy so need to get active.🤣

 

Best of luck on the interviews.

Just been looking up directions for the Interviews today and tomorrow. They are both on the same business park. 🤣

Complete coincidence as they come from different recruitment agencies. Know the area reasonably well enough, used to spend a fair bit of time around the area. Only just over 10 miles away and a good route. 

Getting a bit nervous actually, not done this for 20 years. Last job I got out of the ad's in the local paper. Either that or you went to the jobcentre. 

All this online CV stuff and agencies calling you.

Interview seemed to go well. Should find out later today. Fucking place is huge, never seen so bikes, I was like a kid in a sweetshop. Be nice to get it and be working with something I love. Forgot how nerve wracking interviews are.

Thanks Mike, appreciate it my friend.

Couldn't wish for a better job than working with motorcycles all day. Really looking forward to getting started.

Congratulations !! Enjoy the chocolate 

Fantastic when it's that quick , I hated going through interviews after my redundancy.. 

Are you still going to go to tomorrows interview or have you cancelled ?

No, I've cancelled that as even though that pays more and I'd be on and off site, working with motorcycles is what I want to do. Felt bad phoning the agency lady as she is so nice and helpful and just started her own business under a year ago. Felt I was letting her down. But she was really sweet about it and pleased I got a job I really wanted.

Great effort on getting a job you really wanted. If you don't mind what is the job role you are doing, hopefully road testing bikes and equipment.

They are a company that deals with insurance companies claims. So basically assess damage, repair or write off, and are now getting more involved in the sale and salvage side of complete bikes or parts. I'll be working in the part's side of the business, so getting parts ready for sale and dispatching them. They sell a lot of parts on ebay. They are really expanding that side of the business. Heartbreaking to see some of the bikes being broken. Some proper limited edition stuff. Couldn't believe it when the manager told me that they had over 1000 bikes out on loan to customers with ongoing claims. Company is way bigger than I expected.

Well done, never easy having to do interviews again after such a long period. You'll have loads of new material now for the Bike Porn thread on here.

Just tested positive for covid. Wife and child have had it for days now so I have joined the club. Just a paracetamol for the head but other than that it's quite mild.

 

Stay hydrated and rest up mate.

 

Best wishes to you and the family for a quick recovery !

Congrats mate ! Good things come to those who point their nose in the right direction.

 

Make sure that chocolate bar has almonds in it.

 

Hershey Almond Candy Bar - 36ct.

Couldn't believe how nervous I was, but apparently the two manager's and HR lady really liked me. Just glad that I ain't gotta go through this again 🤣
