Could be Jobless soon

[AlexD333]

Morning all,

Without going into too much detail (so please dont ask yet) :o I may be jobless within as little as 2/4 weeks or possibly as late as the end of the year.

Im just debating what area of work to go for when I look for another Job.

I am effectively Service Manager at the moment, but im not sure if I want to stay in that field.

Scary old time as we are in the process of moving (offer on house) and that will effect where and what type of job I get too :(

Wish me luck :)

[makeitfit]

"Good luck" :thumbs
but please don't apply for any R&D posts eh :lol
Seriously though, fingers crossed for you :rolleyes:

Aw man. Uncertain times are the lowest of the low. People often say when one door closes another opens, so hopefully you'll be fine. Chin up.

Sad, bad news Alex, sorry to hear that, but it seems to be the way things are at the moment. I hope it does not scupper your move, and that you can find something that will suit you........:thumb2

Yes this is true, perhaps the move and the job going will run smoothly together.

I will explain all in much more detail once it all happens. :thumb2

Alex good luck what ever the craic turns out to be for you. You could apply for job at my local Nissan dealer as they seem not to understand the word service and always substitute the word slow in it's place.

Sorry to hear the cr@ppy news Alex:( as a service manager you'll always have that to fall back on:thumbs but if you fancy a change then look for something you have always fancied doing:thumb2

[AlexD333]

Yes very true indeed. Thanks for the warm comments :thumb2

If I do get a job in Nissan it'd be great for all of us, I imagine there would be a wealth of info and cheap parts availability on tap for us Nissan-aholics :D

By wealth of info i mean *correct amount of engine oil :augie

[jims-terrano]

Must be catching, we were told last Friday that we'll probably be losing one or two people out of our six man team.

Best of luck Alex it'll all work out im sure pal.

Hey you could try getting a job at Ford, then you can get Maverick parts that will fit the Terrano, only problem is, neither Nissan or Ford recognise each others chassis numbers:doh

Seriously, I wish you all the best, many of us have been in this situation, including me, and sometimes it opens up other opportunities, however it is still a very stressful situation.
Good luck,:thumb2

Best regards,

Rustic

Alex mate I spent 30 years working for a vet as my main customer, he then sold up and a while later I was not needed by the surgeries, however his son was expanding a micro brewery and I ended up with a 3 month job to do this, had a couple of months with a few odds and ends then an old customer purchased a derelict restaurant around May and been working like Sh** ever since and still there, looking forward to a break when he goes away for a business trip, as said one door closes others open, I have to say I have several other food establishments looking for my services but cannot help for the time being, and they seem happy to wait, Rick
