Title: Wish me luck...
Post by: Robin-Graves on December 15, 2009, 02:22:35 PM
Guys,, I got an Interview with Plastech Technologies tomarow in the engineering division. Wish me luck.
This is a dream job for me. This company makes and inovates machined plastics and polymers for aeronautical and automobile industries.
 Its still a small company, employing a handfull of technicians and just 50 machine operaters. Ill be doing the job I did at Kenco Plastics ( polymer engineer) but in a decent environment with real safety equipment, so no more putting my health on the line .
Ill be polymer engineer again ( screw Kenco Plastics).
 Ill see a jump in pay and actual benifits. The plant owner and ceo , Dennis Hope, is a decent fellow and was a freind of my late father.
 I told him that if I am hired, I wanted hired on my own merrits, not because of family ties. This seemed to impress him,,so I may have it.
 Keep all apendages crossed!

Best of luck mate. 

I'll keep as many appendages as possible crossed but you're due a break so hopefully they won't have to stay crossed for long.

Ok,, update on the interview.
 I wont know for sure till after January First whether I got it or not,, but Dennis Hope seemed to want me.
We talked for about an hour about everything and he showed me the plant and what I would be doing. When he asked me if I had any questions I asked him if they are running anything volitile like Velcron or any of the combustible PVC compounds.
 He seeme dimpressed that I knew about the more volitile substances in plastics manufaturing. He said they didnt run Velcron but they do run some PVC, then asked me if I knew any stabalizing agents for PVC. I said I knew three,, and told him what they were ( I cant spell the damn names,, theyre a mile long) and asked if they used them.
He said they did, and if i knew the proper mix for them.
I told him and how they were to be prepared,, he acted like it wasnt well known. ( its something I learned reading something on another forum a while back,, who says these places arent educational).
 He has a nice little operation going there,, im hoping I get the job. We discussed benifits and everything. Its a nice place.

I haven't kept my appendages crossed, but I will now, I promise.
I think you aced the interview and I really hope you get the job.  ;)

By the way, if hired,  does this mean an end for your wrestling career?  :(

Not really,,well,,,im pretty much semi reitired anyway. At 42 and the injuries ive sustained i need to slow down anyway.
Im just working there ( unbeknownst to them) untill later next year when I get everything done to move away.
 I was going to stay at Kenco until last week. This job is just like Kenco,, a means to an end.
 This job is just safer and pays better.
