SO, I've been applying to a bunch of shops and only doing follow up calls on the ones I really want to work at. ANYHOW, back on March 8th I handed in an application to start as a Painters Assistant. I never called back tho to check on the position as I was planning on stopping in later this week.
Well, today around 11am I received a call from one of the shops I wouldn't mind working at to schedule an interview! I told them I had nothing planned today and after a minute or so he came back on the phone and said hows 2pm TODAY sound? I agreed and it was set.
Dressed up for the interview, went VERY smoothly. Seems like a cool guy (manager of shop) and he explained all the job duties, benefits, pay, dress code, etc.
Everything is relatively standard to other offers that I declined (didn't really like the other shops). $10/hr to start for 1st 90 days. Then I get evaluated and pay increases and benefits start. Then another 90 days I get re-evaluated and pay changes as they see fit.
The nice things:
Shop is FULLY heated and air conditioned. - Perfect temp when I was there
Shop is new as it just opened a few months ago. All high quality stuff, roughly 30,000 sq ft.
Shop is VERY clean. This will also teach me to become more organized which is a plus.
Its not too bad of a drive (25-30mins). All the roads are in great shape.
I'll know sometime Wednesday if I got the job or not. They are waiting for results on a drug (piss) test and my background/driver license report.
BTW: The place is http://sunmotorcars.com/ . They are a large dealership that does Audi, Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes. Next door a Lexus dealer is going in and they are discussing with them about taking care of their collision/refinishing work.
