I own www.exceltechnicalconsulting.com, its a recruitment company specialising in aircraft technicians and composite (generally carbon fibre) production guys. We currently have guys building Toyota, Audi and Porsche WEC cars, a few F1 projects, racing yachts and OE stuff for Porsche, Caterham F1 were a major client of ours too, were being the operative word ;)

 

So if you know any aircraft engineers or composite production guys looking for work ........... B)

Before they shafted you yah? :lol:

 

About the price of a GTR thanks. You can imagine my reaction to this crowdfunding bollocks, quite apart from the businesses that lost money there were 250 odd people who lost their jobs and didnt get paid ......... but at least they got to run two totally uncompetitive cars with their £2.4m :rant::angry::rant::angry::rant::angry:

I remember you saying before. I can completely understand the anger, not a decent way to do business at all.

I'm a consultant engineer for a small company :) I've worked on projects ranging from designing pipework for a nuclear power plant to spending a week at a car factory (not sure if I should say who) to help increase efficiency on the production line. I was surprised at how many cars leave the production line damaged or faulty!

I'm an Electrical engineer. working for a UK based telecoms/technology company. I have designed and ultimately been involved in the construction of a number of large data centres (see previous posts on cloud n stuff) all over europe.

 

recently moved away from the design element and i am now a pre-sales consultant, essentially to stop our sales force seling stuff we can't build!!

 

odds on if you do personal banking, or internet shopping it may well go through one of our places

I joined the army as an MP, I have been to a few places I didn't want to go and done things i didn't want to do.

 

I hate my job, I hate the army but can't afford to leave.

 

Having a newborn baby and wife, doesn't make leaving an easy option.

 

Safe to say joining was the worst decision of my life!

Sounds like a bit of a nightmare mate, my cousin was in the army for I think 14 years, after half that he fell out of love with it and also had a family, when he finally left he said the worst decision of his life was not doing it sooner. Have you tried career coaching or something? It sounds a bit namby-pamby but the coaches are quite brutally objective in actual fact, and can help get you some long term direction on an exit strategy and into something else you might want to do?

I know it sounds harsh but you can always buy another Zed - but good work fella, I am passionate about people getting the right career and have helped people with CVs on here etc and given interview advice, if you need any help let me know.

I work offshore as a control room operator... Been offshore since I left school, not so great with new working rota's recently introduced, but still affords me lots of nice things in life as a trade off for working crappy shifts!!

 

Give it a few years and i'll be looking for something to do a bit closer to home, once I get my Masters completed!! Life's too short to stick to one career, I wanna try other things!

I'm a customer experience designer.

 

I help companies join up the dots properly between their online/instore/phone/etc. I do things like: a few iPhone launches*; help a TV/Broadband company sell more effectively and keep people happy when things go wrong; work on the launch of a telco in the US. Recently I've branched out into training and online design consultancy, because I want to grow my business. It is a pretty good job, all in.

 

I did a degree in physics & laser-science because I want to know how everything works! I built websites the whole time I was there, and this became my career.

 

* this doesn't mean throwing it into the distance, ballistically.
