I applied for a few round here.....heard nothing back.

Hoping to get into the nissan factory now so more production rather than servicing.....better money tho :D

I'm a mechanic. Still studying though.  done my nvq level 2 in light vehicles and completing level 3 soon. I was an apprentice then they fired the other mechanic so can't really still be an apprentice!
