Jobless........
Turbo Mini Forums

sorry to hear it mate.

i hope that old transit was sitting on its back axles full of tools, exuipment and any thing else you could lay your hands on!

Shit, I hope you find a new job, shouldn't be too hard with your skiils.

Administration people were there, so only managed Cordless Makita Drill, 3 batteries + charger & 200 drills.

lol Jordon.

thats a tough break - hope something comes together for you

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

bummer

Hopefully things will work out better

Mate Im so dissapointed in you, If it was me I would have been there trying to pykie stuff till the old bill showed up! TAKE WHATS OWED!
Seriously tho mate, all the best on the job hunt, if there is anything I can do you got my number.

shit deal dude :(

same thing happened to me in october, chappie came in on a friday afternoon, 20 mins later we were shut down and out the door.
the mini was on its back arches though with a bootful, lol.

Should be pretty easy for you to find a job though mate, i've seen no end of welder/fabricator jobs advertised while i've been looking. not much going in the way of locksmith work for me though, been on the rock since mid october.

Got me an interview tomorrow though so fingers crossed...

Haven't done sheet metal work for 5 years....apart from homework. If it gets grim on the job front, then I'll go back to it. :(

All the best finding a new job mate, these things all happen for a reason, so dont let it get you down

200 drills!!!! seriously lol fair play

200 drills!!!! seriously lol fair play

odd sizes too, i.e 1.35mm. I shall make a list up. Might be handy for jets etc.

shame to hear about the job loss milamber, but good fabbys are in short supply. We have serious trouble finding good people who can do our stuff. We have an awesome place five minutes from the workshop in Snetterton, yet we have had to go to Tamworth to get new stuff made! Best of luck anyway. If there are any imperial equivalent sizes may have some drills off you though.

Sorry for your bad news, I wish there was some thing i could say to help you out.

Harsh news, chin up buddy, you've got a trade and a skill so you are ahead of a lot of folks out there, something will come through for you I am sure, these days it is all about presenting yourself in the best way possible, so if you have any friends who work in HR etc sit down with them and get yourself a good CV prepared.

theres plenty of fabricators about, but as Antman said not many good ones. make sure they give you a reference!

you wouldnt have an 11.7mm bit amongst that lot would you?

Cheers

Joe

I know a couple of HR bods. If you send me your CV I could get them to dress it up for you.

PM me if you want me to ask.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Thanks for the support chaps! :)
As soon as I've acquired a flypress, I'll be at it again. Only enjoy fabrication as a hobby.

Edit: Had a quick look Joey. 11.4mm is the cloest so far. Will let you know.
