Default looking for a top apprenticeship?

just came across this on the Pro-Street forum, thought it could be an excellent oppurtunity for one of you young guys on here
Quote:
If you love the thought of working with engines, racecars & have the ability to think for yourself, we would like to hear from you. Trick & Mansweto Racing are looking for a junior (with licence) & a good attitude. We are willing to put you through an Engine Reconditioning apprenticeship as long as you can show initiative & be very keen. You will be required to start from the bottom & where you end up is totally up to yourself.
If your dad, brothers are into cars & racing & you already know your way around cars then this job is for you. We do not want somebody that knows nothing about cars or racing & wants to try something different; we want somebody that is already aware of what is needed.
We will also consider 2nd, 3rd or 4th year apprentices.
Please email ONLY to trickmanswetoracing@aapt.net.au with your CV/ Resume.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Tricky & Jase
it was posted Jul 25, with the thread title "Trick and Manswto Racing Need Workers"..
gotta be better than doing rebuilds on 300,000km camry motors :hihi:

What a great opportunity to learn from two of the best engine buliders/racers in Aus.

Imagine having the skill to build these !

Hey i got a phone call this morning from christan Triccas saying they were impressed with my resume and want to have an interview when i am available. Problem is i just need to call around some family members and see if i can stay there till im on my feet. Christan said once i find a place come in and we will have a interview.

looks promising at the moment and lets hope i can find a bed somewhere.

Make sure you brush up on your interview techniques!
Practice questions etc etc Know your strengths, blah blah.
If they were impressed with your resume then you've just gotta be confident and give it your best shot.

I hate job interviews.

I wonder how many people they have called for a interview.
I spoke to the misers about me applying for it ... big move from s/w vic coast to Sydney (17 hrs away) .. but would be a great job .....
I Hope you get it tankclare as it would be almost the chance of a life time...
Very Good Luck With it
