SilverSoop Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hi all, well after all the bad news that I have had as of late, a bit of good news has finally come through! I was made redundant from my previous job at Basingstoke Audi 8 weeks ago and 2 weeks later, I found another job... This is working at MoD Boscombe Down in Wiltshire, working for a company called QinetiQ... I am working on shifts so it will be my first ever night shift job which I am a bit weary about tbh... They need another 2 people still so I can work all the overtime I want so the bucks will come rolling in!! I have been out of a job for 6 weeks due to Security Clearance, and financially, it has hit me, so good job that there is overtime!! I start on Monday and I am looking forward to it...

stevie_b Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Nice one Shane! I know some people who work at QQ, although not at the same site as you. I thought your security clearance would come good eventually, it just takes them some time. Judging by the new car sales figures out the other day, it sounds like it's a positive move for you. In a recession, I can think of much worse places to work than QQ and similar companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want-One Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Congrats on the new job! It is such a relief when things go a little bit right!! I was made redundant 3 times in a row a couple of years ago and understand the relief at getting a new job with money coming in again! Hope you like working at Boscombe - Keep us posted!!

SilverSoop Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Thanks everyone! I will be working on the security side of things but this involves shift work which I am not at all familiar with so it may take alot of getting used to!

SilverSoop Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 hehe - bet my security clearence is higher than yours - And I've had some run-ins with QinetiQ I used to be DV cleared with Principle when I worked at AWE but back to square one now... MoD Boscombe Down have told me that my SC can be transfered directly from AWE but not my DV clearance... So what run-ins have you have had with QinetiQ then Si?? Tbh I don't know too much about the company - just enough to get me employed by them...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well done Shane. I've supplied a few parts to that company before so there should be some nice machinery in the carpark I have already seen a Red Supe there but it remains to be seen what else - apart from the Fighter Jets! Niceone Shane, what you doing? Have they got any jobs going? Yes mate there is actually, what job are you looking for?? I am working on the security side of things and the same sort of job is going - they need another 2 people... I can give you the number if you are interested...
