[Squealey]

Quick background, I was made redundent last April from my job as an engineer working on primarily shrink wrap machinery, it was the second time in 7 years so I made the decision then that I wanted a job which I actually enjoyed.  I love driving so looked out for a job as a van driver or similar.

All the while I tried going self employed doing the same thing I was doing but failling miserably.

Well I kept looking and yesterday had a call from Enterprise Car Rental asking if I would be able to attend an interview today. Tbh I had applied for so many jobs that I was unsure exactly what this involved.

Turns out it was for a valeter/delivery driver, not the most prestigous job in the world for sure, but I was interested.

Apparently they had over 150 applications, and they had been interviewing for 3 days, but I got the call from their HR dept this afternoon telling  me the job was mine

Cr@p money to start  tbh but even when I was earning twice (almost thrice) as much I managed to loose my house , plus I have prospects here to go onto better things (and Bupa)

So, not a bad day all in all.

Brilliant Squealey,really pleased for you. Your circumstances are very similar to mine ,so I know how you feel. I am now in a job with a lot less money than previously but I am much happier in my work than I had been for many years. Hope it all works out well for you.

[joshwyatt]

That is great news, I am glad to hear it 
Pete's right, it's all about networking...you'll no doubt impress others you work with, or someone may spot you and pass your details around to another company with an even better job.
This time next year Rodney...we'll be millionaires

Congrats mate, it's always good to hear of a fellow OOfer doing well

[Lazydocker]

I'm really pleased for you!

It seems we're getting more and more of these stories of good fortune now

Well done. Been in the same position myself. Having been made redundant twice within two years. Thats the way the printing industry is these days! Not easy to find any work even for rubbish money at the mo. I wish you the very best of luck in your new job.
