Any Nissan Workers here?

I wk ther, been hammering the OT recently comin out with just under 3K before tax. I had Nissan nightmares when a first started!

just rang up and got an app. form sent out there..what did these skill and line tests consist of anderz ?

cheers

i worked long hours, lots of money and you just spend it all on your time off, i was working 7 days 12 hrs and still managing to blow 3 or 400 squid a week!

My kid gets there on his scooter. That is the only reason why i have not applied coz i cannot get there for 6 in the morning or get back home at 12am

shit. i might have to dig the bike out.

I am in the process of putting in an application for Asda in Shields.

I work there

Got finished early today=get in!!

Its ok i think,you work hard but the moneys good.

how many different shifts is there ? i know of the a and b shifts but is there any more ?


if i do get in, it sounds like im gona have to pay a shitload in taxi fares..

is there anyone else who works there that has this problem mate ?

Theres only 2 shifts where i work but some parts of nissan have more i think. Days is 7 til 320 and lates is 430 til 1255

dya know if theres any buses that go from sunderland for the early shift ?

Not sure,your best off checkin the timetables. You start working at 7 but they like you to get there 10-15 mins before that.

Good luck!

The pay is shit for new starters now because they dropped it down to save money. When I started 2 year ago we got 18.5k plus 12% extra shift allowance. Now they get about £16.5k plus shift allowance.

Be prepared to work long hours for the next 6month, by that I mean add an hour onto mon-thurs and then a full day saturday when on earlys. Then 1.5hrs onto mon-thurs when you're on late shift (with no weekend production). It will be hard if you're a new starter doing this.

Don't believe people when they say one part of the factory is easy and the other isn't! IT'S ALL SHIT! It's just different colours of it.

as for buses hipnotizer, good luck with them mate, I started and had to get lessons and pass me test in a few month because i was scrounging lifts. I had to get dropped off on the a19 and walk 2 mile through woods at 1am because no one lived in Seaham.

you also get nissan claw

LMFAO!

yeah, if you start in the body shop you will more than likely get 'Nissan Claw'.

Anderz - You've got the job!

WTF is the machine shop? What did it look like?

Haha i dunno what a machine shop is, it just sounded like a good description of what i seen. Machines and stuff

Skill test.. thats basically the easiest thing imagineable.

Tighten up 10 nuts bolts and washers with a spanner and gun, then loosen by hand. Took about 20 seconds

Then plug some electric stuff in,

Mount a wheel with the air gun thing.

And nip up some brake pipe looking things.

Easy stuff, but ive worked with tools for 5 years so i know how to use em. (even tho a could do it anyway).

As for getting there. Well i have a driving license but no motor. I will buy one with my first wage i spose, until then my mates reckon no matter what shift i get on , there will be someone who lives either near me, or near a bus stop thats handy for me.

I dont mind subbing someone petrol money until i get sorted. Means that whoever gives me a lift gets a few extra quid for going the same way he would anyway.

The line test will give me an indication of whether or not i can handle it lol

You may of walked passed me today because I seen a few in for skill tests. Did you have to wear a hard hat?

You've got the job now aslong as you don't fail the medical.

get a scooter, they cost fuck all to run and arent much to buy either

do they work on 12 hour shifts ?

It was yesterday that i was in. 9.45am for my skill test thing. And nah, didnt wear a hat or anything. I was told to wear clothes appropriate for work... then used a couple of spanners lol.

THEN GUESS WHERE I WALKED BACK TO!!!!....

ASDA Boldon!
