NEW JOB!

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)
1

Morning everybody,

So after what has been a roller coaster week starting with an assessment drive for a local tipper firm on Monday who didn’t even bother getting back in touch with me. To then considering leaving my full time job for agency work, I’m ecstatic to say that I’ve managed to find myself a full time job!

Not before spending the last 3 days knocking on doors though.

I went for an interview yesterday for a small family run business in Widnes who have 15 wagons, one 18 tonner, a few vans then the rest are scania curtain side an tanker artics.

after a chat with the owner and a quick tour of the yard, he told me he would be in touch to let me know what decision they had made, then to my surprise this morning I recieved a phone call saying they are willing to offer me a job!

I start a 4 day ADR course on Monday in Appleton thorn. They have also said they will be putting me through my C+E as well.

I’m in total shock and honestly can’t believe how lucky I am.

So my advice for anyone else just staring off like me, is DO NOT give up! Be persistent and keep knocking on doors, try to speak to owners/ transport managers, let them know that what you may lack in experience, you will more than make up for in hard work, determination and willingness to learn!

So I guess this is where the hard work really starts.

I’ll be sure to keep everybody updated :smiley:

That’s a good end to the week - well done. Just brings home the point that I bang on about all the time: go knocking on doors. Nothing else works as well as face to face communication.

Enjoy the learning curve!
