Lately I been Im thinking its about time I try to find a job to add a little extra funding to the camaro pool. Wow can looking for a job get you down.
My friend works at adavanced in the next town and he said he could probably get me on I just need to fill out an application, so I did. Well about 3 or so weeks go by and I stop in to say hello and he asked me if he got me a job yet and he asked if I put in my app, I told him that in fact I did. A day or so passes and I catch him online start asking if he can get me on and he says...." I could have but you scored on the lowest level of the personality profile"....so begins my rant.
I have more than 2 years of classes in automotive education. Ive completely stripped and repainted my car, serviced A/C systems, hell i even rebuilt and automatic transmisson. Ive had classes in Automotive electricity, ignitions and fuel systems and many more. The only courses offered I have not yet completed are engines and brakes.
I have been familiarized with the operations of the Snap-On vantage, VAT 45, Ocilliscopes, OEM engine scan tools, digital multimeters and many other high tech tools. Mind you a lot of the testing and lessons I have completed may have only been performed once or twice in the classroom. It may take me a while to become completely comfortable using this equipment and using my training to its full potential. I understand that exercising these skills more often and implementing this training is what I need to get the experience everybody desires.
But where I am right now I cant even get on at advanced auto because my personality profile was on the lowest level. Mind you these questions have no situation behind them just a bunch of incomplete questions where you are supposed to place yourself and answer with a number between 1 and 10, 1 representing strongly disagree and 10 strongly agree.
