Murdock · 09-27-2007, 03:48 PM

Its nice and sunny today...you need to pick better days to come to Detroit.

Terec · 09-27-2007, 04:15 PM

i never had a choice in the dates, once was for about a week for a FSAE competition, the other for an interview with continental tire

Jorgen · 09-27-2007, 05:58 PM

What year were you hear for FSAE? I know a few people who work for Conti, they are decent most of the time but assholes about 2% of the time to their employees.

Terec · 09-27-2007, 06:49 PM

I was there in 03, I think I woulda enjoyed the position with Conti, 3 year program in Hannover Germany, bastages put a hold on hiring after the interview, or so I was told

Jorgen · 09-27-2007, 08:41 PM

They always have a hold on hiring at Conti.

Terec · 09-27-2007, 10:30 PM

figures, now if i could only figure out why toyota and roush never called back after the screening phone call talk

Jorgen · 09-28-2007, 10:11 AM

What part of Toyota did you interview with? I have a buddy that works there (not for toyota) but for a supplier onsite at Toyota in Ann Arbor. From all this stuff I am just assuming you have a mech. eng background.

So what is the tax rate in canada these days? Maybe I'll buy a house there instead of here.
I looked at my check today and relaized over the past 5 months at this job I have paid more in taxes than i woudl have made in base salary at my old job in 5 months. Now this ****ing state wants more cash again.

Well folks, I am expecting a formal offer from AVL next week, no more GM.... I hope.

Scot, you don't want to buy a house in canuck land, their houses go for much higher and the tax is 15%
