MOT TESTER WANTED

Dynamo is this any good for you?

I noticed the post earlier but did not recognize class VI?

I'll have a think about things this week and come back to you. It's not just the job, its the security of the job for a new employee given the current COVID-19 problems, and many other concerns running through my mind at this time. 

While you are very correct in what you say, it is something to think about, and the distance to travel each day very well might prohibit the job based on costs of fuel. I'm not exactly going to be paid good money from a small independent garage, or if they did it would not last too long now in this country with the way the markets have collapsed. If my current job can't support my small wage paid now, at least I have furlough to fall back on, and if the business did go under I'd be entitled to redundancy, even if the government ended up paying out. If I jump ship now and the business I work for becomes excuses for whatever reason and I ended up being laid off, I've no net to catch me. There is a lot to think about peter, and as I understand your business you work along side your wife and you also don't have other peoples wages to find each week, so if you had say four wages a week to find in the current climate, say over £2k per week, I think you'd be looking to push some people through the door? My employer only looks for the inexperienced and cheap labour he can get through young people from colleges. I understand him well enough to see what he is all about.   

That's a fair point and I fully accept it. I also fully accept that Dynamo has decided not to make a move. And that is his choice.
But I agree I did suggest he needs a change and he thinks otherwise. Which is fine and just as it should be.

I can tell you something else that’s happening, recruiters that have struggled for ages to attract anyone are now seeing a few more applicants coming through the doors, those recruiters are happy to employ at the moment as they know they’ll be ready to hit the ground towards the end of the year.
I’ve taken on two testers that I don’t strictly need right now, but I will in September. A successful business can afford to subsidise these next few months for the longer term benefit.

We've been struggling to attract the 'right' guys. We're ok for testers but need techs.
It's almost if they are just turning up to qualify for their benefits/job seekers allowance/whatever. Or am I just being sceptical?

I recon we working class now are the last of the people that can get things done in this generation. After we've gone I'd like to see what happens next!! 

My understanding of the EU is that it is crumbling away at the heels. That means member states no longer want to be controlled by them, hence everyone is pulling out doing their own thing. At some point the world will have gone fully circle and will be a going concern.
