Default Woo Hoo Job Interview at last

After getting paid off from Audi at the start of Feb I have been trying in vain to get a new job, By applying for anything that came up in and out of the motor trade. And having no luck at all not even gettin a reply saying sorry you have been unsuccesful I was starting to think about leaving the trade altogether, Well I got a call back today from Toyota and they have asked me to come in for interview tomorrow. Proper buzzin about it roll on tomorrow dinner time.

I might not have to carry on selling my bits for my saff that i have lying around now aswell.

Cheers Gym

no worries pal.....if you are nervous there is no shame in telling the interviewer that...you are not a sales man...interview situations are not a natural thing to be involved with and some people excel and some people fail lol or in your case sweat

fingers crossed for ya mate.

email me ya cv and i will send it to my office in your area..you never know they may have something for you
