you have to try every thing {THANK YOU}

[dickycaz]

i was payed off a few months ago and i have been looking for work every day since .after posting out cv,s to various company's and never hearing from them it gets you down in the dumps i have been working in the demolition industry for 10 years removing asbestos from all over the uk and i need a change of work ,as i am no longer willing to travel and stay away from home for months at a time. i am a time served HGV mechanic and a qualified welder/hotcock burner. so i am looking to get back on the tools .i never left them as i still work on any vehicle all the time .
but today i applied for a job with a garage that's only 15 miles from home. i was looking on line and came across this job for a time served mechanic with some 4x4 experience. so i sat down and put pen to paper and sent in my cv its got to be worth a try .now for the bad news they only work on green ovals mainly i have had a few my self and worked on them from time to time for other people. this is a small 4x4 company not a franchise but as i see it you got to try ,as long as it puts food on the table and tyres on my truck i will do any thing to get back in to work.
i will just have to test drive with a paper bag on my head but i will disinfect my tools before placing them on my frontera
so wish me luck as i can do with all the luck i can get just now.

Good luck mate.

A heartfelt Good luck Fella,
i am looking to get a site based job so i don't miss the kids so much so i know how depressing time away can be.

Fingers crossed for you and i hope you have more luck than i did today.

Cheers
Dan.
