I don't need to go into the army anymore as I GOT THE JOB! ... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Communications Engineer Trainee!
My day went very well and at the end of it I was took to the owner of the company to 'talk business'.
Not only did I get the job, the company have matched my current earnings ($10k more than spoke of at interview) ...![OhMy](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/ohmy.gif)
![Thumbs Up](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Soooo, decent job with REAL prospects, decent pay to start with, company car, phone allowance, laptop and all tools provided, and what at first glance seems like a decent bunch of fellow employee's ...![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The ONLY prob I guess is the pressure is on! They originally was after a school leaver to train up, and me being 'mature' they're happy to pay me more than the crap wage they'd pay a teen, but in turn I HAVE to perform and pick it all up in 3 - 6 months, normally they'd give a year!
I have to do a Telstra course asap so I can legally play about with their wiring, and will have HEAPS of homework to get up to scratch, but I've craved a technical job for a long time so will be happy to throw 100% at it fa sure! ... this IS my chance!!!
If all goes well in a year or so I could be earning an above average wage, and have VERY good job prospects! ...![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
CAN LIFE GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS???
For now it can't! ... I am ecstatic! ...![Thumbs Up](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
