The Donkey Walker With A New Job

[Sand Dancin Donkey Walker]

Another new job thread from the Donkey Walker, there has been a couple over the years.

I very reluctantly handed my notice in to The FaradayCentre last week.
I have very much enjoyed my time there, I have learned alot about myself and given me confidence to train others in LV/HV systemsreally enjoyed the HV Protection courses I ran.
It can be surprisingly hard tostand in front of a group of candidates and talk confidently about a technicalsubject. Not done that previously.

Hi Guys

Cheers for your comments.
The position will be a challenge, I have commissioned HV transformers and switchboards previously, from 132kV 11kV and 6.6kV.
The challenge will be the step up to the management role, only a fairly small permanent onsite staff.
Al, your comment 'That doesent look like a speaker factory :D' might explain their puzzled look when I turned up for the interview and launched in to speaker driver design and crossover implementation :eyebrows:
Even after all that, they still offered me the position

Well I've had my last day at The Faraday Centre.
Had a nice surprise, they got me a cake (Monkey Shaped, they could be telling me something there?) and a card signed by all.
The MD came down to see me off too, which was a nice honour as he had never done that before.
shame to go. I have really enjoyed my time there. The new adventure begins in 2 weeks.
Lots of thoughts about he new position, excited about it all and greatly looking forward to the start
