I have looked at jobs at simmilar plants here, but i often dont quite have the skills they require or some one else outskilled me and got the job.
Allso when i do apply for jobs via internet or personal i am very honest about my skills and even undersell myself a littel as i dont want ppl to feel sad about giving me a job.
Even my last job working the grinding machine,they did know i had not used that education for allmost 20 years and hardly ever worked on a grinding machine.
But still they gave ther temp painter a chance, and in spite of my 1 mess up i dont think they regret that, but sadly i got into a mess with the day too day boss and that sent me into a depressing hole, and eventullay lost me that job.
The new day to day boss in firm know i am looking for a job again, and my former colleagues there now acknowledge what i said about that boss was true.
I have yet to hear some one complain about my skills or the work i do, or the way i handle myself on the job.
