The longest distance driven for a job interview

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

Mine is 1000 kms :blink:

Did it this past week,Calgary,Alberta, for a couple of job interviews :blink:

Was a fun road trip,Quick on the way up 9 hrs to Banff(in a rental) :lol:

A little slower on the way back :blink: Got held up in the mountains (snow and Ice)

 

The great white north job hunt is on :rolleyes:

 

Nothing in the place I live(other than dead end min wage crap, mostly part time)

 

I am pondering a couple offers I had out there :o

 

But now I am going to Victoria on Monday for yet another interview :blink: (would much rather have a job there :cool: )

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

Left this past Monday returned Wed night :o

[datzenmike]

Got cha..... I love road trips by myself. Got to just past medicine hat in my 620 in one day. Another time from Cranbrook to Vermillion Bay Ont. Love it.

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

You bet road trips are fun :cool:

 

This one was decided Friday afternoon,Hit the road Monday.

I would have taken one of the vehicles I have but was a quick trip and rather not stress,It was a paid for trip so nothing lost :cool:

The car was a 09 hyundai elantra :o

Total fuel costs for a the round trip were just under $150.00 :o

And no light foot :rolleyes:

Got the crap scared out of me on the way back in chilliwack(the wack)

flashing lights behind me :o

was only a medi vehicle ;)

argh! I had -20 last year. my water line froze up I was out of water for a week. This year has been great for the cold factor but no snow pack means dry summer? Today we got a good blow hurricane force south easterly! my tarp on my roof was takin a shit kickin so I had to get up there and place some more old 620 rims on her! I have friends in Alberta and I don't understand why they moved there? money I guess?(no dis-respect to any of you Albertan's) As for distance I've driven for an interview, I've never left the island (knock on wood)

Its a different cold here Rich..

 

BC had a cold dry last year,it was good....

No snow pack means shit for water!!!

 

I liked the fact it was SUNNY,Shit aint seen that in the "ditch" for a while!!!

The people factor out in Calgary is WOW,Saw the C? train, Shit was loaded into the core(downtown) If one person moved they all would have too??

 

Thats not my style!!!

The places I went wanted me there! I said I need to think it through(family)

In reality not a place to bring up a family(Calgary),If it were strictly money then its a go!!!

Jobs are everywhere there ,every single place we went too, had a help wanted sign!!!

 

Now if I could get the "ultimate" job out there in my trade in a small town,I would be there in a minute :blink:

I could do it from home!!!! :cool:

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

Real time qoute!!!!

 

you live in Port Alberni??? we are located in Victoria...which is too bad because i want you to come in for an interview Lou :cool:

 

 

I called them today, Darren said he wants me there? :cool:

Here is to hoping I stay on the ROCK!!

[datzenmike]

Amen to that!

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

Amen to that!

 

!!

 

I really do hope I stay here (on the rock) Mike!!!!!

Be it it Port,Nanaimo,Vic :cool:

[JoeinCa]

Ya'll got jobs up in Canada?

 

Maybe I should move up there.. It was 75 out today in Oceanside though... But I would have an excuse for getting another 4x4..

 

hmmmm

 

Joe

[hang_510]

drove about 60mi to the airport, then flew to the other coast. they picked me up there. :P

didnt get the job cuz i asked for 2 boatloads of $$$ to move.

[Guest 510kamikazifreak]

Well it looks like I will be in Victoria :blink:

 

Had a few calls this afternoon from the employer down there.

 

Time to get out of port anyhow :lol: The job situation here is as sad as it gets :blink:

 

House is on the market as of tomorrow..

Apperantly 30 - 40 % of people buying here right now are from out of town :blink: :blink:

[datzenmike]

Port can be nice when the weather co-operates. Seen one or two nice days there. Damn that fog can make it seem 10 below. Come over the 'hump' and see the fog and start shivering.

 

Lou my 710s from Vic.

Gold River's the same. Mill closes and people leave. Buyers just want a quiet place to retire.

But wait a min I will get so and so,

So had the interview(Victoria) ,They tell me they are just "upgrading" operating systems etc :blink:

So me the way I am, can it do this or that or this,There look >> :blink: <<

So about 3/4 way through the interview

They say we "want" you to be the parts manager :lol: :o

Then at the end of it I said what are my odds,They all said in my favour :cool:

The boss lady was there but boss man was home sick,

Heres hoping the "boss" man says yeh :D :hyper:
