New job
« on: February 26, 2015, 06:14:47 PM »
Well not sure if this is OK here or not, so please move if not.

I started a new job about 2 weeks ago and I'm loving it.
After leaving my last job I was not sure wether or not to stay in the industry, I have a huge passion for all things camping, 4wding and fishing.
I did a little bit in another camper trailer shop, but when a job came up that was to do with caravans I jumped at it.
This new job has me using all my skills I have learnt from my trade until now.
This is something I can see myself doing for many years to come.
It is at a new shop called Caravan Repairs and Service.
The people are very friendly and great to work with.
We do everything from pre trip inspections to full rebuild.
I have already resheeted a few caravans from hail damage.

Life is looking up again...

 :cheers:

Good to read you are happy in the new job Rob, I recently (3 weeks ago) quit my job of 5 years also and have started somewhere else as I wasn't happy where I was working.  I took a big pay cut to walk away from my old job and am working much harder now then I used to do, but I am enjoying the new job much more then my old one.

Congrats.
There is a lot to be said for doing a job you love. I discovered that when I changed career about 15 years ago.
Third best thing I ever did...

So you left a secure job for another that pays less money for much harded work??
WOW
Must have been a really crappy job, or your new one must be as a pre lingerie show supermodel inspector or something similar
