damn it. no body shop around me is hiring at all. i don't know whether it's just me who just got out of school for the trade or it's the bad economy (or so they say). i do not care if i have to clean the floors. just want to get experience.

congrats on the job. since you are a painter, you might be hearing from me in a couple months for tips and tricks.

Dont hesitate to ask. Where are you from? Also the autobody industry has slow points the winter months are actually one of them... spring/ summer you'll be packed with work.

Also if you take notice you will see more cars riding around with damage. People cant afford the $500 deductible, because that could be groceries for 2 months, rather than paint on there car and popping out some dents.

Nice man, congrats. I was going to interview there for an estimators spot but it's just too damn far from here, it's at least an hour drive with no traffic.

Just curious, how is he working the pay structure?(you can PM me that if you don't want to put that out there on the board)
