Anybody know of any Jobs?
« on: 22 August 2011, 21:13 »
Hi Guys,

I'm looking out for a graduate job within the North West but I'm struggling to find or hear back from those that I've applied for! I was wondering if anyone knows of any openings or anyone who’s after a graduate for their company? I'm not necessarily after IT work, but an interesting career that will push me. Especially interested with work in the automotive industry. I'd even love to become a mechanic for some of these tuning companies like Jabba, AwesomeGTI etc. I do have mechanical experience but just don’t have the paperwork to prove. Though I do have a 72’ beetle that I restored that shows I am capable.

So a little about me...

My name is Marc Williams, I’m 22 and I’ve just successfully achieved a 2.1 Honours Degree in Computer Science from the University of Chester. I’m a modest person, but I know I have worthwhile skills and experience to offer. I have over 3 years work experience (1 of which within the IT sector), I’m hardworking, very loyal, punctual and I have a marketable degree classification.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and any feedback or pointers would be humbly welcome :)

Regards


Marc

Have a look on Jobsite, reed, monster, fish4jobs. As you're oop norf you might be lucky enough to land a job with an oil company and get paid a f@cking fortune compared to people doing similar jobs else where.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Hope this gets you some leads but the sad fact is that there are very few automotive jobs in the North West and still fewer that will take you on except in an IT role without an engineering, management or finance degree. If your happy to move though, take a look on Autosports website at the jobs on there, try sites like Mclaren, Williams and Prodrive as they are recruiting a right old mixed bag of people and there might be something in there IT based (dont know what uni you went to but Prodrive seem to be very picky about the Uni's they will recruit graduates from) and generally have a trawl around jobsite etc (I posted my CV on there and have had loads of interest from agencies that seem genuinely interested). Oh, try M-sport in cumbria too, I havent heard the best things about how they hire and fire (buyers market for them) but they might have something?

Fact is it is who you know, what you know will just allow you to do the job, who you know gets you it.

Ive gone down career paths where i knew people to help get me in.

Thanks for the pointers guys. I have tried shell, texaco etc but never rigging. Maybe a path?

It doesn't just have to be motorsport, but if I could link my degree in with something to do with cars or bikes that would be brilliant.

I'll just keep on looking!
