    Rang them, 25 hour contract with over time available but I told him I need it to be guaranteed over time so he’s invited me for a chat tomorrow after work. He did say that’s usually over time that needs to be filled, as euro car parts no longer offer full time employment anymore. Didn’t mention how much pay was so going to ask that also :lol:

    Seems very strange that they don’t offer full time employment when there’s obviously full time hours available with the overtime 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Hopefully they’ll answer your questions and give you something to think about.

    I’m making a friend write one instead :lol: yes, he guaranteed lots of over time so I’m happy with that. Going down on my day off Friday to speak more with them and order my uniform :smile:
