Industry jobs

[Garell]

Hi to all

Some time back around April, I posted a question to you all about geting a job in the furniture industry. There was a lot of discution about it. Was it better to keep it as a hobby, other's recon it was the best thing thay did.

Well I have good new's. I happend to notice a position avaliable in the local rag for a Technology Assistant at the local private school near were I live. The role was to look after the woodwork and metalwork rooms, cut material for students, sharpen tools, etc.

Well I am happy to say that I got the job and start January next year. I have finaly got out of the gardening job I hate and going into something that which was a hobby, is now an enjoyable job. I hope.

Any way thanks to all thoughts that commented on the post and Merry Xmas to all and a Happy New Year.

Regards Jamie

Congrats on the new job Jamie. Hope it works out for you

Congratulation Jamie,

Good Luck and hope all goes well!

Congratulations.
Hopefully being a private school you will get a good pay rate, probably better conditions than a job actually in the industry.

I'm assuming its part time?

[Groggy]

Great stuff! I hope it is what you want in the long run.

The Job is actualy full time.

I had a choice of 4 weeks annual leave or 7 weeks annual leave. I chose 4 weeks annual leave because the pay was a little more.

Unfortunately it is a little less than I get now. But sometimes you have to do what it takes to stay sane. However I wont have a fuel bill. Its only up the road. A 20 min walk and i'm there. Time to break out the push bike.

Thanks every one.

Maybe you can save some money on tools and supplies though eh? Good luck with it!

With the fuel savings, you might actually be getting more. And the exercise won't hurt you either.

Congratulations.

Congrats!
Given a choice between a job I hate, to an enjoyable one with a little less money, I'd take the less money.
Well done :D
