Job application.

Post by Hairy_Mark »

I know that mothers tend to think no ill of their children, but my mum has just suggested that i apply for a job at KC Superbikes, to offer my experience to their maintenance department.

Many a true word spoken in jest?

I've got a degree in mechanical engineering and worked for 25 years heading up project teams on jobs up to and in excess of a million pounds.

Maybe I should try it! It would get me off the unemployment register and combine my love of engineering, people management and motorbikes.

Good old mum!

Pay? What's that? Is it some kind of torture?

I would naturally offer my services to the motorcycle community on a charitable basis.

I'm charitable to them...they're charitable to me. The idea of beer tokens seems a good one. I require a good number of those. As long as I can redeem them against any other alcoholic beverage, such as rum, when my little tummy is too full of ale.

You could agree a 'compensation' rather than pay - I understand that comes tax free and with many other benefits. :suspect:
