Title: Re: The summer of 2009 Post by: Koen on 28 September 2009, 13:33:44 finally I got fired today...it's negative news but positive for me...been asking for my papers for a long time...already started looking for new things!
biggest choice: back to school or work? school: longterm or shortterm? kids = 3 kinds of degrees possible = 3 months, 2 years or 3 years to school. or industrial courses to give me some better papers. work: must be close to home or, if not, I should get a car, had a car from work for 2 1/2 years so I don't have a car of my own anymore, if/when this becomes a problem I can get my old VW Golf back on the road. what work? dunno, I loved this job but my boss made me sick. Maybe something in the automotive sector or something else...dunno...we'll see who reacts.. emails sent today: 1 for designer 'flyers and other promotional stuff'(& photographer) (very close to home = bicycle distance) 1 for almost the same job as I had until today in a Volvo workshop (close to home but it's a carworkshop) 1 for a job in the automotive sector (further away from home but again...it's a car workshop so I'll be asking a car) we'll see what happens! THUMBS UP for this dude, ok? roundthumbs Title: Re: The summer of 2009 Post by: Rattler on 28 September 2009, 13:55:52 finally I got fired today...it's negative news but positive for me...been asking for my papers for a long time...already started looking for new things! -snip- THUMBS UP for this dude, ok? roundthumbs Welcome to the club!

I thought that in these times it would be tough to find a job? 1. started this morning at an Opel garage where they need a parts manager...man...the warehouse was a disaster...It will take many months to turn that pile of junk into a warehouse...it will be a challenge but that's ok, it's a challenge (5 days, 8-17) 2nd one was a Mercedes garage who immediately fell off my list...the boss was rude, impolite and...well...if that was his 'normal' doing??? 3rd one was a Toyota garage where they were impressed by my level of experience...they had to think on how they could use me the best way since I have more experience than they were looking for...they promised to call back today/tomorrow the interview went well meanwhile I'm still talking to the Volvo garage where they have 2 choices, paying an experienced more money or choose an unexperienced guy less.... my preferences: Volvo: 4days/week fulltime, car, close to home (10 min by car) Opel: challenge, make a difference, fairly close (15 min by car) Toyota and I have an interview friday at 0900hr for designer/photographer Title: Re: The summer of 2009 Post by: Rattler on 6 October 2009, 16:23:36 damn....hard work! -snip- 2nd one was a Mercedes garage who immediately fell off my list...the boss was rude, impolite and...well...if that was his 'normal' doing??? It´s "Mercedes" (though, actually, Daimler Benz), what do you expect? The only company ever that I worked for as a photographer who answered invoices (payment goal 1 week with 2% Skonto, 4 weeks w/o skonto) with a standard letter like this: Quote Dear provider, should your invoice have happened to arrive at our countability department office before the 15th of this month, we will pay it after 90 days. Should your invoice have happened to arrive at our office after the 15th of the month in question, we will pay it in 120 days time. Kind regards, ... Of cause, my invoices afterwards were always 3% higher than for other stints... And the Mercedes owner pays that (though they make a great deal of money with all those 90-120 days interest free invoice credits ... Just sum up the invoices they receive in that time and the interest they get on that amount in 80 days...! iconclap) Rattler Title: Re: The summer of 2009 Post by: Jilly on 6 October 2009, 19:22:17 Good luck with this, Koen. I hope it all works out for you.

I even quit my former job because of such a boss. i hope you get the one you want , so you can go happy to work everyday ok, did my 1st try-out day...woooowww...what a difference....the positive attitude...teamwork...such a positive experience... I started the day with the boss saying I will work in a team with 2 and ended with the boss stating that maybe me alone would be a better solution... I started the day with 'a car for you is impossible for the first 6 months' into 'maybe we can take a 2nd hand car and let you use it'... I started the day with a 2day try-out and at 10AM they said 'well, when you come back monday....' Title: Re: The summer of 2009 Post by: TechAdmin on 7 October 2009, 20:40:25 So, sounds like school is skipped?

I started the day with a 2day try-out and at 10AM they said 'well, when you come back monday....' well, there are 'as always' several things to take into consideration....school means less money and stress...willI succeed and am I strong enough for the stress and the other things that come with the lessons and the job when I succeed... today was a test...they wanted to know if I would fit into the team...as always I do....never had problems with teamwork...as you know by now... the way I worked today....at a lower pace since I'm new and have alot 'specific' things to learn...well...it still gave me a good vibe...lots of work to do next to the routine....but still....I hope they fire the other guy and give me the 'freedom to act' Title: Re: The summer of 2009 Post by: Koen on 8 October 2009, 19:59:14 well, the boss is pleased so after the 2days test they gave me a contract and so I'll be going there a bit longer :whistle:
and they solved my transportation problem...an old car but well....it gets me to work and back and it doesn't cost me a penny... :D the guy who was running the warehouse gets fired tomorrow so I have my hands free...they's put their trust into me....it's my warehouse they said so do what you want/need to do... I leave at 07.35 and I'm back home around 17.15 with a good pay...good enough for me...this makes a very satisfied man ;) Title: Re: The summer of 2009 Post by: Mike on 8 October 2009, 21:34:36 Good news, i'm happy for you Koen :) congrats

Title: Re: The summer of 2009 Post by: Koen on 17 October 2009, 18:26:09 week 1 was...euh...dunno how to express my mental state...man...what a difference...
the warehouse is a mess...need several months to clean it up...and I don't mean cleaning as in dusting...parts without numbers...parts without locations...locations that have 100 parts on 1 location....a disaster... but the WAY I have to work is superb...they wanna invest in the warehouse with new equipment for the warehouse itself and me... so..THUMBS UP!!!!!!...go go go... |
