Title: Technician wanted Portland OR
Post by PRESTON on Sep 17^th, 2012 at 8:39pm

Looking to find a replacement for our B or midline tech, however you want to look at it. Duties would include bumper to bumper repair work, base brake systems, tune-up type work, major services, basically everything short of CEL and drivability work, but that doesn't mean you aren't going to learn anything. Believe it or not, I enjoy showing newbies the tricks of the trade. :)

P-
I thought you were moving? That being said. There is an opening here At the D.P.W soon and the Fire DEPT too. Awesome benefits & Pay. I will be involved with new hire so we don't get a friend of a friend type if you know what I mean.Guy, we can play with PICO all day! how awesome is that. Plus great weather and friendly peeps. LOL! I wish that I had someone to work with that actually took some kind of interest in what we do. These guys have no interest and don't even care when I show them my captures or findings. As technology changed and moved forth.they stayed idle back in the 80's. [smiley=2cents.gif]
SHhhhh, don't tell them I said this. there nice guys.

Yeah Karl, moving summer next year down to Florida. Not looking for my replacement just yet, but we need someone with good R&R ability. They don't need to be a diagnostic wizz, but if they want to learn to be one this would be an excellent opportunity for someone. We really do get a good supply of diagnostic challenges.

My wifes family is still in Florida, mine is in California. We don't want to raise our kids so far from everyone, she mentioned we go to Florida, I said let's do it. Its going to be hard leaving the shop next summer, but it will be super easy leaving the weather!

Wow that's cool Preston. My wife has mentioned leaving the city and moving down to Florida too. But unlike you I don't have family there. I't would be nice but we'll see. Hey we might bump into each other at Disney World! Best of luck Preston.
