I'm a Technical Services Engineer with KLM subsidiary. Tied to a desk, but still got toolbox and tools, just in case! :roll: :D

 

Lot of technical people on here....so....., does that mean our technical training means we can appreciate the design of the C, or that we need to be technical to keep it going?!

Currently doing my 3rd out in the industry working for a company called Highlander Business Solutions in Sheffield as a bench engineer, building and repairing PC's for networks, allthough starting to go out on site a little helping setting the networks up etc etc.

So yep...another geek !! :afro:

I'm a mechanic and panel beater/spray painter but I packed it in and went back to college. Qualified as a mechanical engineer last year but now have a job doing mainly programming work....(don't ask, I don't know how it happened either)

 

Still work some weekends in my dad's garage though...helps fund my VW obsession, and it's practice for when my golf needs some work!

 

So if anyone knows of a G60 C for sale that needs some attention, let me know 8)

Hiya,

 

Another techie. I do everything from planning, designing and implementing the designed networks. That means physically installing the network cables and touching power tools. :lol: I also recommend and install clients and servers, maintaining them according to contract :)

 

Passed my first MCP (XP) in February, thinking about doing the rest for 2003 Server MCSE. Really a Master of Management Science with Computer Science, never had a job in management :)

 

BTW, AndyVR6, how's Canterbury, still standing then? When I last visited, they were excavating the Whitefriars end of the High Street, did they find anything?

 

Cheers,

Rica

:) No other Social Workers then? I work with people with disabilities, head injuries, and/or mental health needs (including the rest of the Social Work team in that). If the stereotype is correct I should be a pipe smoking; duffle coat wearing 2CV driving person......

The usual comment is: They obviously pay you too much if you can drive something like that (the Corrado) but it's a good talking point especially with the ex racers amongst my clients.

Cheers,

Phil

Graduate automotive engineer, but trying to find a job in this with no experience is far from easy, so going to move away and head in to the CAD design area of this as it seems its becoming a part of all engineering design compamies now! Earn a few pennies here and there fixing cars, and painting houses and things.

I'm a fracture and fatigue technician for Corus (formally British Steel)

Or to put it another way. I break, crush and smash things in various way, and tell people how good, or how bad their material is.

I'm a bit of a techie jack of all trades. I've been working for a tiny production company that make 'internal communications' videos for lots of big companies over the last few years. I look after the computers and network and do generally techie stuff.

 

My only formal technical certificate is a BEng in Broadcast Engineering that I graduated with last year. To make things confusing I then ran away to Canada for a few months, sat on my arse mostly doing nothing with the odd bit of web work here and there. Luckily I'm travelling round pretty much all of Canada this month and then coming back to England at the end of the month to buy a VR6 C. Oh and to help set up a set of DVD magazines for car/bike/train and plane enthusiats. So look out there will be a feature on the Corrado ;)

I'm a student, till saturday.

 

Then I have a BSc. with a major in Psychology and a minor in Chemistry

 

I work part time at a local guitar store... anyone need anything and want to pay absolutely stupid shipping fees(over the rather big atlantic pond) let me know... we stock all kinds of goodies.

 

Oh BTW.. if anyone has any good jobs for me.... I'll move. I'd love to work in europe for a year or so... If it pays well and I'm qualified to do it, look me up!!

Just handed in my notice. In 4 weeks I'll be an Operations Control Manager for Firstgroup at Paddington. Basically I will be the person in charge of all trains at Paddington for Firstgroup. I'll determine when and where they go and where they stop in times of disruption. :oops: :roll: :roll:

Anyone travel through feel free to give me a shout. Ask for Steve Lawrence.

Just don't blame me for delays. I'm trying to you get you home :!: :!:

I'm a web/multimedia/graphic designer. Work for a creative design agency in Leeds. Just finished some dvd work for adidas. Tend to work on all kinds of projects, mostly web at the moment but trying to get more into video/after effects work.

Been doing it for 5-6 years now (since I left college) Didn't bother with a degree - glad now too, with looking at most of the graduates CV's/portfolios who apply here I think i'd walk a degree now!

I'm a 3D character artist working for a computer games company in Derby (no I can't get any free games). Been in the games industry for about 10 years, the money's good and I still really enjoy it. However I'm also a songwriter/musician and I've just completed work on my first professional film project and it's really tempted me into pursuing it as a full time career.

TBH Could do with the extra cash, the C's in the garage at the mo and the bill is totting up :cry:
