Its not the job for me thats all, fair play to anyone that wants the job that bad though.

You don't get anywhere in business from sitting on your arse but you also dont get a 100k a year job by being nice to people, not that you have to be nice to everyone you meet or work with but I couldn't shit on people like that or feel I am around people doing it to me.

My bro is in a similar situation earning a lot of money, some of the stories he has told me about things he has done to get where he is have made me think he is a cunt, however its business and the companies he has worked for clearly know he is good at his job or they wouldn't pay him so much, I was asked to work with him when he was at Paypal but I enjoy working with my hands too much rather than office work so I stayed where I was. money isn't everything IMO

Good luck with the interview though, if its your sort of thing then it is obviously a oppurtunity not worth missing, How many people apply usually ?

Fair enough mate, totally understand what your saying, i'd love to work for someone like Sir Alan, office work is what I personally do, but I like to use my hands like you say, but it's best off kept as a hobby for me which keeps it nice and enjoyable!

If there is one thing I have found about working in the motor trade is that I have lost some interest in working on cars when I'm at home

Don't mind doing anything else just not cars
